On behalf of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association (ACGA) I am pleased to provide this letter in support of the assistance that James Bracey provided during the promotion of the 2010 Commonwealth Games Queens Baton Relay welcome in Sydney. James was the master of ceremonies for the official welcome event held at the Sydney Opera House on 19 April 2010. He did an excellent job in this role in introducing all of the invited guests and the official dignitaries including those from the Government of India, and the State of New South Wales. In particular I am pleased to congratulate him on his style as an MC, and his interaction with the public. He also showed his in-depth knowledge of all the sporting persons whom he interviewed including Kieran Perkins, Matt Shirvington and Catherine Cox. In closing I would like to mention that all those in attendance were impressed with James as MC, and in particular his genuine enthusiasm and professionalism.
We have always trusted and relied on James Bracey here at FOXTEL to be able to deliver and rise to the occasion as MC for our numerous and various events. Although we have a great stable of celebrities, it takes a special person to be able to stand up at our functions and deliver to a crowd, yet we have found that James is one of those people that does it with such ease. In particular we enlisted the services of James who we felt was the perfect fit to MC a WWE Australian tour at the Acer Arena in 2010. James always presents himself with utmost professionalism and versatility and engages the crowd. His knowledge of all sports is such an asset. This MC job for James was particularly fast paced having to announce and inform the crowd of each WWE Superstar who appeared at a meet and greet function prior to them performing in front of the crowd. James was only provided with all WWE background information two hours prior to the event. The client is very protective of their international brand and always requires the right message to get across to the audience. James not only delivered what was asked of him but presented all the information and worked in with a very mixed crowd from ages three to 93, all passionate fans of the sport of WWE and all who warmed to James and his enthusiasm. We here at FOXTEL will continue to enlist the services of James Bracey and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an MC.
