Books on Public Speaking and MC Training by Joyce Daniels
I am Joyce Daniels, and I have spent 18+ years mastering the art of speaking on stage and coaching others to do the same.
These books contain everything I have learned about becoming a professional MC and delivering speeches that move audiences.
If you are looking for public speaking books in Nigeria written by someone who has actually done the work, you are in the right place.

MASTERY
MASTERY was written to help you succeed as an MC and leaves a trail of experiential knowledge and information you can delve into and apply. No matter how good you are naturally, you still need to know and master the systems to work your God-given gift and talent.
MASTERY will teach you the ins and outs of the profession, and give you the tools you require to become a Master, in the business of MC.
MASTERY covers the business side of being an MC, not just the performance. You will learn how to price your services, build a client base, handle contracts, and position yourself in a competitive market. I wrote this because I saw too many talented speakers struggle to make a living. Talent opens the door, but systems keep you in the room.
This mc training book is for anyone who wants to turn a natural gift into a sustainable career. Whether you are just starting or looking to scale, MASTERY gives you the roadmap.

Before you speak, Read This!
Before you speak, Read This! was written to give you all the tools you require to deliver great speeches anywhere, anytime and before any audience.
You never have to stand before an audience, uncertain of what to say; and say goodbye to the days of walking away from the podium, with a sinking feeling that you have badly delivered a speech.
This book covers speech writing, audience analysis, opening and closing techniques, managing nerves, and handling unexpected situations. I structured it as a practical guide you can open before any speaking engagement and find exactly what you need.
If you want public speaking books that focus on Nigerian contexts while drawing from global best practices, this is for you. The examples and case studies come from real events I have hosted and real clients I have coached.

Who These Books Are For
My books serve different but overlapping audiences.
MASTERY is for:
- Aspiring MCs who want to enter the profession the right way
- Working MCs who are tired of undercharging and want to build a real business
- Event professionals who want to understand the MC's role better
- Anyone who hosts events and wants to do it professionally
Before You Speak, Read This is for:
- Professionals who present at work and want to improve
- Entrepreneurs who pitch to investors or speak at conferences
- Students preparing for debates, presentations, or pageants
- Anyone who feels nervous about public speaking and wants practical help
Many readers buy both because MCing and public speaking share the same foundations: understanding your audience, structuring your message, and delivering with confidence.
