As the producer, you want your corporate events, conferences, and award shows to sound polished, professional, and unforgettable.

I'm Peter and that’s where I come in as a ‘Voice of God’ live announcer or live on-stage emcee.

Sometimes I’m the voice you hear but don’t see — off-stage, guiding your audience with authority, clarity, and perfect timing.

Other times, I’m on stage as the live host, energizing the room, connecting with guests, and keeping the show running smoothly.

The checklist of how I can help you includes:

In any of those tasks, my job is simple:

To make your event sound great and make your production team’s life easier.

Now, let's get into some details.

WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR LIVE ANNOUNCER ?

Whether I’m off-stage as your Voice of God live announcer or pre-recording announcements that slide straight into your program, I make sure your audience hears the professional sound and perfect timing they expect—whether the sound you require is bold, warm, or a mix of both

I’ve been behind the microphone for more than 40 years. I know how quickly things can change in a live setting — and I know how to adjust on the fly.

With me at the mic, you as the producer have one less thing to worry about.

Why?

With me at the mic, your announcements are delivered with the tone, flow, and reliability you require—so you can relax while your audience hears everything smooth, seamless, and expertly timed.

WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR EMCEE & LIVE HOST

Every event has its own personality. Sometimes it calls for a fun, upbeat host; other times, a serious and respectful tone. As a live event emcee and corporate host, I’ve adapted to both with ease — earning enthusiastic feedback from audiences and producers like you.

I love collaborating with production teams — staying on-script when needed, and adding quick wit and positive energy for those moments that call for improvisation. You and your team can count on me as a flexible, dependable partner on your live shows.

My goal at every event — whether an awards show, conference, or charity gala — is to create an engaging, seamless, and enjoyable experience for the audience.

And for what it’s worth, I also own a tuxedo.

"Among the many awesome things about Peter as an Event Emcee & Host is that he takes direction as well as he collaborates. He's poised, quick on his feet, skilled at improvising, knows how/when to fill time, and always energizes the room with wit and charm. I leaned on Peter to be a collaborative partner and he delivered – helping to draft the script for 3 days and working alongside me and my team the entire time."

BARRI TSAVARIS, Executive Producer — WOVOCON - The Voiceover Unconference, New Orleans 2025

"Peter did an amazing job as the emcee of our annual black-tie event.  A consummate professional, Peter was so easy to work with and his great sense of humor and ability to improvise really enhanced our program.  He was able to work off of our script and even ad-lib when necessary.  It is never easy to quiet a crowd of 400+ people, but Peter was able to control the excitement in the room and help us move through the evening's tight logistical timeline.  Sisters Hospital Foundation is delighted to call Peter K. O'Connell a friend!"

ANNE E. SNYDER, Executive Director — Sisters Hospital Foundation / St. Joseph Fund

"The Buffalo Niagara Sales & Marketing Executives has used Peter as our live, behind the scenes announcer for many years during our annual Executive of the Year and Elite Sales & Marketing Awards gala. Because of the many important business people and government dignitaries in attendance, the event needs to come across to the audience and sponsors as sophisticated, unique and highly professional. Peter's announcing style and production sensibilities enhance the whole evening. We're very glad to have him as part of our production team."

JEANNE HELLERT, Executive Director — Buffalo Niagara Sales & Marketing Executives

"Peter helped us with script writing for the infoTech Niagara BETA Awards as well as emceeing the event at the Buffalo Convention Center. Peter's creativity was evident as we worked on trying to mix some comedy into the script for the event and video presentations. Words and ideas come easily to Peter which is truly a talent. As the emcee of the event, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Peter engaged the audience, and improvised talk between awards which kept the audience laughing and enjoying themselves. I would gladly recommend Peter for voice over, emcee and creative services. He's an extremely talented individual who gets the job done and has fun doing it."

JEFFREY ROSS, Executive Director — InfoTech Niagara
