There are definitely some good suggestions in here... every caster has their "goto" words which you may hear more times than others. Why? Cause casting is fucking hard people.

If you don't believe me... I challenge you to just sit down and talk into a microphone for 8 hours. See if you can even do it. Then go back and listen. How did you do? Why don't you post it here for us to listen to. It's not like casters lack the vocabulary, it's that casting drains you mentally like you wouldn't believe. Seeing Day9 after casting every series at MLG... pretty much sounded and looked like he just walked off the short bus. ^_^

HOWEVER, just in case any other aspiring casters read this... HERE IS A GOOD TIP I TRY TO TEACH ALL THE GUYS I CAST WITH:

A good caster will occasionally go back and listen to his own work to identify the exact things JP brought up in the original post. When you find yourself using the same words or phrases over and over, then do yourself a favor and try this out.

Write down on a sheet of paper the words or phrases that you overuse. Under each of them, write alternate phrases. So for example, I might use the world "unbelievable" to describe something going on. So write down, "Phenomenal, Amazing, Astonishing, Awesome, etc." do the same with phrases or ways to phrase things.

If you are occasionally referencing this during your broadcasts you'll find yourself realizing it and quickly begin using your alternate words. I still do it today after 10 years of casting.


thanks for that advice wheat

Totally disagree with casting being hard. It's difficulty depends on your knowledge of the subject matter and how excited you get about it. I've shoutcasted and found it quite easy, depending on the subject matter.

You generally will start to notice you have certain things you tend to say all the time (and it's more noticeable because you will be self-conscious about it). Being aware of it is the first step to changing it. I like the idea of using a thesaurus to change up common use words

Have you NEVER seen artosis? :D The most overused word: "So, so".

Anyone see stork vs ggplay (the movie) back in 2008? :D


Lol, yeah, I saw that, and did feel they went a little over the top with that phrase. Was a great enjoyable movie anyway. :D

But seriously, what bugs me is when casters blatantly copy other casters. Blunder isn't the standard term for any mistake ever made, but somehow it is these days. Also, everything isn't a 'sign of a good player' or 'what separates the good players from the great'.


the word blunder is used very often for every single strategy game including chess and go. not sure why starcraft people seem to think it was the idea to use came form a single brain.

This thread should be called the thread of the overused terms of the casters of esports. I hate how they always say stuff like the zergling's of Idra instead of Idra's zerglings.

Hah! You can't go a Terran game without Tasteless talking about the refinery depot. If the Terran doesn't even build a refinery depot, Tasteless will talk about how he could have built a refinery depot.

I'm willing to bet that many of you have "go-to" words to use in normal everyday talking just like the casters.

Yeah It's just a part of their style. I have no problems with it. It's just funny to point out their goto words. If you printed out a transcript of a cast, you could probably identify who the caster was just by looking at what he said.

i don't think they're overused
it gives familiarity to casts

also, "this is one of the most epic/best t/z/p v t/z/p i have ever had the pleasure to cast/watch in a long time"-hd
