Talking

There is an old saying that you can only lead a horse to water, but asa desk host, you’ll need to make them drink it too!QUESTIONNING SKILLSAnother key area, often over looked and underutilised is the art ofquestioning. As a desk host, this is your bread and butter so getreally good at it!At first glance, it’s not hard to ask questions, especially surroundedby fantastic and talented people on the panel. But, less is more, isnever more appropriate than in the role of a desk host.Your questions should be a real mix, but should also be short, snappyand sometimes challenging too.One of the most common parts to avoid is trying to show the audiencethat you know as much as the panellists, something that happenswhen you host a game you love, play a lot or know a lot about.60
