I was planning on entering the sc2gg commentary idol contest even though im aweful at casting figured why not i even casted one game july v backho from proleague a week ago check it out:

Now unfortunately you need to enter two commentaries to be eligible and about two hours ago in a basketball match (I play varsity ball at my school) i somehow got some guy sprinting to kick me in the throat while I was getting up after going for a rebound. I can barely talk atm and my voice is all coarse and the deadline is in like 2 days . I had little chance of winning since i was so nervous and made a lot of mistakes in the 1st cast I did but still I didnt want this to happen. Unless I feel better tommarow my efforts although futile will be completely wasted , icing my throat all night. So yeah my day sucked lol. Anywho feel free to critique the one I did I know I made alot of mistakes so you should have fun.

You could do a silent commentary! As in, write words over the video and just explain the most basic.

I dunno. Sucks man. =(
So wait? I'm bad? =(

- Like already mentioned voice and vibe is kinda cool.
- Try to say less "ya know"
- Don't do biased commentary, it's boring (nothing wrong with pointing out the favorite, even when it's clear - but don't base all your comments on it)
- Since you have the opportunity (unlike in live casts) to watch the game before the cast you should take advantage of it - make notes so you won't miss stuff
- It's not your job to figure out who is gonna win for the entire cast - if either players gains an advantage ofc you should point it out - but don't reflect everything that happens in the game upon it
- Don't feel like you have to talk non stop - nothing good will come out of it, your speachflow will grow with experience

You didn't do it in the cast, but many other casters seem to struggle rather heavily with it (even tasteless sometimes): if things get hectic on the screen, dont try to speed up your cast accordingly - most casters that do that end up simply describing whats seen on the screen with their voices doing saltos trying to comment every single micro command (it's sooo annoying)

Am I the only person who always listens to a few minutes of all of these just to see what posters sound like and to put a voice to the account name?

I did watch the entire thing and I really like your style. As a BackHo fan I should comment on the bias but it was fucking hilarious so it's all good

"He's mostly known for just being dumb." Haha great line, it is why we love Backho.

Also he is a baller, if you haven't seen the video it is in my profile.

Thanks for all the support guys I made a mistake choosing my by far and away favorite player for my first commentary i coudlnt not be biased if i tried need more practice i guess. I actually made a note not to comment on every micro command and to try and predict more because the "Hes sending a probe to scout" comments annoy me like crazy aswell. Thanks for the tips guys and when im better i may try to make a few more. The two things i personally know i did in this cast that post-production drive me crazy is first missing the hydra den going down earlier and 2 in the earlier stages of the cast clicking my tongue lol. Il see what i sound like tommarow maby il hammer it out who knows (hurts like fuck to talk lol).

Edit: also tried like crazy to avoid saying "umm", i need icecream lots of icecream

So in the commentary, you can't watch the game and then know what to say beforehand?

And sorry about the basketball game, idk how someone kicked you though in the throat, are you short? Thats cool how another person here plays ball though seriously
