1. Be Confident of your words

The first thing that attracts people is confidence. If one doesn't seem confident enough, they lose half the crowd there. So one should be confident with their words, even if they go wrong somewhere.

2. Be spontaneous

Anchoring is not reading a script or narrating a crammed lesson. So, one should be highly reflexive and be spontaneous. React to situations around and make something with that, to get the attention of the audience.

3. Cover mistakes with humor

There might be messy situations, small mistakes happening or maybe even big ones, pretend nothing has happened and be quick to cover it up with humor. A little laugh goes a long way!

4. Make personal addresses

It is important to address the mass individually too. This helps in garnering the person's attention and makes the others sitting around conscious too. It should be interactive and engaging. The audience should enjoy their moments around.

He further concluded by saying "If you understand the literal meaning of anchoring, you have aced the event there itself!"
