Hi!
I've been recently casting for playhem a lot, VODs can be found on http://twitch.tv/playhemtv ... anything with Pokebunny in the title is me. As a new caster, I of course get a fair amount of criticism, and I was hoping users on TL could provide some constructive criticism! I'll be doing more casting in the future, so please give me feedback!

VOD list:

http://www.twitch.tv/playhemtv/b/310068328 [2:26:00 through 5:11:00]
more soon

#1 Got to put up that hater barrier.

I already sent you a decent length message on twitch right after the finals were over. so I wont repost it here right now but maybe after another cast or checking out some of your vods ill have more.


Link us to these vods and if you have a youtube channel that as well so we can check out more of your work sir.

I'd say your doing a fine job. Experience will iron out any minor 'flaws' but frankly, the added high level insight and enthusiasm you show sets you up to keep on improving. Good work. Keep on keeping on.

I honestly haven't listened to your casting online but your commentary during the NYC LAN games that I heard sounded pretty good, and I assume it's gotten better since then if you've been working on improving it.

Hello Pokebunny,

i always regard you as a Professional-Starcraft 2 Player but your casting really surprised me! You're really good at
casting I say!
Try to present the game with more emotion. That's what I really love from the casters! And when there's a tense moment,
make it even more tense!

Great cast! :-)

I really don't like you casting sorry but thats because I used to cast BW games myself
One big thing I can tell you is to talk more and be more drama-like
Thats one of the biggest things your lacking

Hey Pokebunny,

I wanted to get this post in here quickly before the thread becomes a series of flames.

I enjoy nearly everything about your casting. You are knowledgeable and keep the games entertaining. However, I feel that sometimes you cast very arrogantly, and it gets slightly annoying. Your introductions of the players for the games are what irk me the most. While introducing the players you seem to say everything you know about the players, and it seems a little "showoffy". When other casters on Playhem introduce players, they say a few things about that player (ie. This is Fraer, he plays in our tourneys a lot, he is good and I'm excited to watch this game). You tend to drag that stuff out with useless information such as "This is a player, he is Korean, he now lives in Germany, his favorite play style is this, yada yada yada". Way too long of an introduction, keep it short.

I do not think you are ready to solo cast. You are best co-casting with more veteran casters and hopefully that will help you out in the long run!

For only hearing you cast once today (playhem finals, dragon vs snuffe), I have to say you added a good level of analysis to the game and made good calls about what was happening. I don't know who was in charge of the camera, but there were moments where it just stopped moving or wasn't covering action that was happening half a screen away, but that could use some improvement.

Yeah, I wasn't the camera man.

I also don't really plan to solo cast, but I really enjoy casting alongside a more experienced caster.

Your knowledge of the game is good, but your voice makes my ear drums shatter. Please, get a voice changer so i can listen to your insight.
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

Extending from my twitch message.

Being that support knowledge role;
Help the main caster with things other than the production tab. Help by throwing out worker counts, tech choices he might be missing while doing camera work, where chrono is going, where new expos are going (minimap watching), resource gathering rates, and the like.

Also maps are great talking point. Help in the early game when your partner has nothing to talk about, maps are easy to talk about. Explain 3rd/4th choices, key choke points, drop points, warp in abuse, overlord position ect. All these can be talked about during htat 6-15 food dead period before builds are recognized.

or maybe the build is out but they both went macro so it will be boring for another 4-5 min, take that time and throw out what you would have done had you seen this macro play. Would you cancel and got 1 base all in? Would you go even greedier with 3 base? Tech hard on 2?

---

Leave most of the action to the experienced caster. They are less likely to trip up on words, can string together talking easily, and know how to inject that enthusiasm without making is sound forced.

That's all I got for now. Let us know your casting schedule in addition to those youtube/vod links. I try to watch kibbelz and robin daily but if I see your name up there I may start tuning in to that as well.

your asking for feedback ill say this and im allowed to feel this way

when doing commentating or casting or anything of the vocal vocation, you cant just have any voice. your voice is imo not conducive to casting. people need to enjoy hearing you speak and its kinda hard to do that with your voice.

you cant say um and uh, this is something most people have and break the habit when seeking jobs on TV or whatever else but if you think you can do this you cant say filler words like that.

all being said there are many casters atm, since this is such a grass roots movement imo and nothing is SUPER official, who might not be qualified for casting but do anyway and so i guess you can most likely be a caster but i really, and i say this in the most honest blunt/non intended offensive way possible, cannot see you being a serious contender for serious casting
How you win is the only thing that matters

Perfectly valid, and I do think part of the "annoying" quality of it is partially due to low quality equipment, which I hopefully will be fixing. I don't claim to have a good casting voice though.

Excellent. At times smallchat with you seems awkward, but that's not something one can consciously fix. Overall, excellent commentary.
