If Geoff were to blow up with casting would this mean he is going to cut down on playing? An obvious one would be if he is casting a tournament, chances are he isn't playing in it. Artosis played in GSL even though he was commentating. | ||

It's true a lot of doing commentating comes from self-motivated work like getting a stream etc. That said community support DOES help tremendously. When people are putting together tourneys and considering commentators it's easy to go with the ones already out there like day9, wheat etc.. so a lil community pull helps make them lean towards me as well.Tune in this weekend for the Battle in the Bronze for an idea of what I am capable of. Additionally check out a showmatch or two I will be casting sometime soon | ||

It would be nice to see you do something big like MLG (obviously have someone else take over while you play, Artosis style), or maybe in a rotation like MLG Raleigh. | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong... Actually fuck that I'll check it right now. I was wrong it's on teamliquidnet's channel. It's TL-A season 3 episode 1. And it is the show of a lifetime.

Sorry but i find this post a bit silly i seriously love husky hd and jp but realistically speaking im only 2100 diamond but some of there comments and just general lack of knowledge and missing important things lead me to steer away from them and focus more on day9 and things that i can "learn" while i watch. At first i didn't really like incontrol i had heard him a bit before and found his comments to be elitest but then after a while i really warmed up to his comments and humour i like a person who is able to express how they feel and not worry about what others think. I hope incontrol you stay HONEST to yourself look at the Artosis and Tasteless casting it is seriously some halarious stuff i love it, the pokemon thing, artosis reading out the names, just everything is done in a very nice fun enjoyable way, dont make a 100% serious cast because in my eyes thats not you Incontrol i can tell how much you LOVE having a joke, and thats why you won me over brother, stick to your guns ! | ||

Also artosis is bias as hell and seems to commentate not so much about the knowledge of the game but the drama of the game. I'm not saying hes a starcraft moron, cause he isn't, but watching the big commentators for other games they seem 1) charsmatic 2) funny in some way 3) NOT bias 4) Really honest in commentating. Artosis just jizzes over big names what, artosis: 1) charismatic 2) funny in alot of ways 3) ok, he's a little biased 4) i find him very honest in commentating!that's not to say i think INC would do a poor job as a commentator! If there's anyone I'd like to see apart from already established casters being able to make a living out of commentating starcraft2 It'd be incontrol for sure. | ||

Incontrol's commentary on SOTG or previous casts he has done shows how good he is at it. 1 Very entertaining to listen to 2 Deep knowledge of the game 3 Very professional attitude towards SC2 since it is what he does for a living. | ||

It's totally an ego thing. ;D Getting a really nice headset and good computer is the easiest way to deal with everything, Geoff. He has a really complicated setup with an excellent final result, but he has been doing this for a long time and does a lot of research on everything. If you're looking to do it long term, definitely seek his help on the matter. I baffled everyone in TSN back in the days, especially Marcus when I used a 15 dollar compaq stick mic with a paper towel on it that sounded fantastic. >_< | ||

I baffled everyone in TSN back in the days, especially Marcus when I used a 15 dollar compaq stick mic with a paper towel on it that sounded fantastic. >_< If I may add to this... Basically any condenser microphone will provide a fairly high quality input. the only thing is you will have to deal with ambient noise when you upgrade to a professional quality microphone.. A pop--filter is always a good investment especially if you plan on being energetic because it will take care of a lot of the clips and pops that can occur when your voice clips. Using basic audio editing software like Audacity even can help you clean the vocal quality and keep it at a constant level to make things sound more professional as well... Editing in a little more.. I'm at work so I'm bored... There is also the choice of omni-directional and directional type. I personally prefer omni-directional because of the noise in my room (being without a proper sound room) and it seems to have slightly less feedback while in open spaces. Just some things to throw out there.. I can link what I actually use if you are curious. | ||
