Freelance Showcallers available now!

If you’ve never hired a Showcaller before, think of them as the director of your live event. They’re the person sat at the AV desk, running everything from rehearsals to the final round of applause. Every lighting cue, every video playback, every microphone transition – they control it all.

Why You Need a Professional Showcaller

Running an event without a Showcaller is like trying to pilot a plane without a captain. You might take off, but landing could get messy.

A seasoned Showcaller brings:

• Technical expertise – keeping AV cues tight and seamless
  
• Crisis management – handling last-minute changes calmly
  
• Authority and leadership – guiding the crew and reassuring the client
  
• Focus – 100% attention on your event, not the noise around it
  

Whether it’s an intimate conference or a full-scale international show, the Showcaller is the one who quietly makes it all work.

In short: a good Showcaller will save your bacon. Every. Single. Time.

Finding the right Showcaller at short notice doesn’t have to be stressful.

What is a Showcaller?

A Showcaller is the person who runs your live, hybrid or virtual event from the AV desk.

They’re the calm voice on comms who juggles crew chatter, presenters, and clients – all at once – while making sure every cue lands perfectly. Every lighting change, video playback and mic cue is timed to the second.

It’s their job to hold the entire event together, no matter how complex. From technical transitions to last-minute client changes, the Showcaller keeps the whole event running smoothly.

The Sixth Sense of a Showcaller

Great Showcallers often walk into an event with little or no prior knowledge of an agenda. And that’s actually their superpower.

They arrive fresh, clear-headed, and laser-focused. Instead of being bogged down in weeks of pre-planning, they only care about one thing: running your show seamlessly.

With just a quick producer or client briefing, they’ll edit the Run of Show into their own words, mark up scripts, and get straight into rehearsals. Within minutes, they’re fully in control.

Calm Under Pressure

Rehearsals always run at 100mph – rushed, chaotic, and full of last-minute curveballs. An experienced Showcaller takes charge, steadying the room and leading everyone through the process.

And during the live event? Anything can happen:

• A presenter overruns

• A video needs downloading mid-show

• A late arrival throws out the agenda

• Equipment glitches or internet dropouts derail the plan

This is where the Showcaller’s skill really shines. They know when to hold, when to jump ahead, and when to quietly ask a Host to “stretch” for five more minutes.
