Voice is definitely a legit criticism I mean it's literally the primary way that you experience the caster lol. Although I used to find WinteR hard to understand when I first listened to him years ago and he was probably my favorite part of DAC.
I get frustrated with play by play casters just talking to fill up space but I don't really blame them as long as they aren't interrupting analysis for nothing I mean it's their job to talk and silence is hard to use well.
Redeye wrote some really good stuff on the use of silence a while ago actually. It was more about hosting obviously but it was excellent if nuanced advice.

An interesting example is Merlini. I think that he's great to listen to on stream, but his casting is a lot worse to listen to. Not entirely sure why that is.

umm what? Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I'm pretty sure his English is completely fluent and better than most casters? I'm guessing you just mean his accent?

Is Comeh playing Slark, drinking, and crying again or something?
|
no he just learned about the hotline miami 2 rape scene rofl
|
Winter's English has been fine for a while now as far as I can tell, he just has a very strong accent that was hard for me to understand when I first heard him.
Honestly I think Merlini's biggest problem is that he just doesn't care when casting boring or bad games lol. I could never dislike anything ben 'merini' wu did tho I am #1 merlini fanboy since like 2007.
|
It also feels to me like he has trouble projecting. When he tries speaking up, he slurs his words a little. His manner of speaking works really well for just casual stream commentary, where muttering into the mic is totally the right way to go, but when he's trying to get loud for the stream it makes him sound a little tongue-tied.

if you're talking about ben 'merlini #1bestplayer' wu then yeah he is a serious mumbler and he was honestly way worse when he started playing and casting haha

It does feel like he's been improving, I agree. Practice makes perfect and all that.
