Monica Bassi - Professional Emcee Motivational Speaker from Washington, DC

A speaker's job involves captivating a crowd, seamlessly flowing through the agenda, and elevating the overall prestige of an event. Mastering these techniques comes with one word: EXPERIENCE. For the past decade, I've been at the helm of both small and large-scale events ranging from political galas to business conferences to corporate award ceremonies for companies such as Amazon Kindle, Wells Fargo, and HDFC Bank. Each of these events have helped me to hone my on-stage presence and ability to connect with audiences of all backgrounds. When you hire me you can expect the following: 1. Collaborative assistance with the agenda/run of show 2. An experienced emcee who will research the subject matter and/or business beforehand to better understand your vision for the event 3. Up to 2 conference calls to ensure alignment on planning and expectations, including dress code and timing 4. Professional hair/makeup/nails 5. Transportation to and from the event, with early arrival to the venue on event day 6. A well-executed event that will translate to a classy, elevated, and memorable experience for you and your guests I'm also no stranger to the camera as I have anchored shows for multinational networks such as Zee TV, Sony Entertainment TV, and TV Asia. For the past several years I've been anchoring Asian Variety show (AVS); North America's premier South Asian Bollywood entertainment show airing throughout the USA, Canada, UK, Pakistan, New Zealand, and UAE. In addition to my live event and on-camera experience, I've also trained at the Bova Actors Workshop and American Comedy Institute in New York City. The skills I've acquired through these trainings enable me to bring my authentic self to any gig while keeping the atmosphere fun, lighthearted, and entertaining. I would love to speak with you about your upcoming event and determine how, together, we can make it a massive success!
