How to engage with your audience during the party

how-to-engage-crowd-dj-party

The crowd plays an important role at a DJ’s performance. When the crowd doesn’t respond to your music, then this is a problem.

Of course, DJs should enjoy the music they are playing, and especially enjoy sharing it with a crowd. That’s not to say they need to jump around and run all over the place, but if they are looking around and not acknowledging the crowd or their mood, they might as well just put on a pre-recorded mix.

To become a successful DJ, you have to control your audience and learn how to interact with them. This applies to all types of DJ performances, from DJing in a club to a streaming party.

Here are a few ideas.

Interact with your crowd and keep them entertained

You may ask yourself how often should I interact with the crowd?, or how often should I grab the mic and start talking? There are no rules here, but here is a guide you can follow:

Showmanship + Skills + music selection = An Entertaining Performance

Mostly, it will depend on the style of music you are playing. Most underground house DJs just focus on their set. EDM is more about the performance and interaction.

There is no set amount of times you should interact with a crowd because it all depends on the crowd and the vibe. Imagine if you have a dead crowd (this will happen sometimes). This won’t be your fault – you’re playing the right music, but the crowd just somehow isn’t into it, or they’re just not in the mood.

Adjust your mood to the same level as the crowd. If you ask them to raise their hands or raise their mobile phones, it’s best if you raise your hands as well. The crowd needs a leader to follow and you can become that leader.

Don’t be shy and Talk to the audience

You’re the master of ceremonies, so master it. Talk to people, take requests, chat with friendly dancers and ask if everyone is having a good time. Be the face of the party and keep the good vibes.

Don’t hesitate to share your message!

Likewise, it’s good to know when to shut up. Talking to a crowd can be great, but no more than an hour is a good rule of thumb. You’ll ruin the atmosphere if you talk between songs all the time.

A good tip is to use icebreakers to make the crowd feel more comfortable. For example:

  • You can prepare a couple of funny questions beforehand to ask them before the party. It’s a classic way for engaging with the audience.
  • Ask someone in the audience to explain what they are celebrating or what they expect from the party.

Are you a DJ or a Party host?

Use the Chat: Ask for Emojis to let you know

If you are performing in a streaming music session, you can use the chat function to know how the party is going. Ask your audience to use emojis in the chat to know what they think of the set or the song that is playing.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

In the same way, you could show polls on the livestream and ask the crowd anything you like in the chat.
