I've noticed you call clever game mechanics like mineral walking and keeping void rays charged "glitches". Try to avoid that term since it makes these player tactics sound bad and illegitimate.

You are really amazing at fast play by play casting. You don't raise your voice volume that much when you're doing play by play of a REALLY tense moment. Also, you don't stumble through your words. You speak very clear and concise. I like your style. Good job!

You're definitely one of the best casters at the event. I'd love to see you casting with day9, and/or husky.

I've seen you quite a lot on the Korean Weekly's and I love your solo casting and you're doing a great job once again. ^^

:D

You need to do mass speaking drills so that you don't slur your words when you're excited, I can recommend some drills but since you're a caster you probably already know plenty. Making sure that you're speaking from your diaphragm as opposed from your throat will help with this as well, I think that you're speaking from your throat.

Good casting, really good analysis and I like your voice!
But I'd like to see you cast with someone entertaining..

Because Gretorp does nothing but drag you down imo, your totally carrying the cast in my eyes. So I think if you find a good co-caster which you have good chemistry with I think you shall find success =)

yep really solid casting and based on knowledge, i like. Also showing excitement for the games. Not much to complain about.

But offtopic can be fun as well if its well thought out. to bad i only would have a german example of what i mean exactly. And since sc2 has less down time on whats happening, there is not to much off topic time, since explaining map and intentions comes first. Just my personal preference though.

I like your casting very much. If you could figure out how to add a bit more personality into your casts you could easily compete with the more prominent casters out there. I know, easier said than done.

No way, keep your nerd glasses. Be anti-establishment!

But yes, your casting is top notch. Very knowledgeable and in my eyes one of the top 5 casters/commentators out there.

No real flaws.

I think you need to look straight at the camera when you're making a general comment. Looking at the the person talking to you is fine, but you also need to maintain contact with the rest of your audience.

I'm really satisfied with your casting Orb
The one i have difficulty to stand is Gretorp, he has nothing to add whoever he's teamed with, orb, husky or w/e. he doesn't seem to have that much of a deep knowledge of the metagame and isn't as exciting as other play by play casters i think...

The only thing I think you have to think about at the moment is that you don't have to say everything you need to say in the first 30 seconds of the game

The beginnings are most often quite mellow, use it.

I really like the hype-mode (if i may call it that) when something exciting happens! I get really annoyed by casting when there's something exciting happens and the casters just say "oh and he's doing an attack....". However, be careful of drowning out your co-casters! Let DJWheat shine too, haha!

Bring back the misspelled thunder sticks so we can remember it in a year. Then I assure you I will be pleased with your casting.
