Raquel Todd

A good MC keeps a program on time without the room ever feeling hurried, and that's the job Raquel Todd signs up for. She hosts corporate conferences and cultural celebrations, facilitates panels so the speakers come across at their best, and deals calmly with the surprises that turn up on any run sheet. Her style is warm, with a light touch of humour, and she makes a point of keeping every part of the audience included and respected. She also speaks on resilience. For the day she asks for a wireless handheld or lapel mic with a backup, a screen and projector, a podium if needed, water on stage and an AV technician on site. She likes to arrive one to two hours early with a quiet space to prepare. Perth-based, she travels nationwide.
