A habit to break is also putting the word "just" before things. It diminishes the importance of what you're saying. "Just a quick announcement" "A quick announcement" Subtle, but powerful.
My wife is the mc in our company and because she has a naturally higher pitched voice, she has trouble getting people’s attention when she is first starting the introductions. I think I got the advice from you to ask if the people in the back could raise their hands if they can hear her which usually gets the people that are paying attention to “shhhush” the people who are yapping. Just this weekend, when people giving toasts had the mic drift away from their mouths, I thought about your trick to prep the audience to chime in, if the speaker didn’t talk directly into the mic. You always give great advice- thank you for what you do!
Whatever you use is fine. The point I was trying to make is to not use anything over & over again every time you turn the microphone on. Mix it up, come up with new ways to say things that sound more natural, and develop a style that's less rhetorical

Another one I hear often is “literally”
I love this series. This is great for not just DJ's bit every day life. You had me rolling about ordering the fries.
I was in a converation once with a person that says 'actually' at the start of almost every sentence.
