I haven't really watched your casting alot (mainly because I don't know when/where you cast). But last time I saw you casting I thought it was pretty awesome. Sorry to not being too constructive, but I don't know how your casting is ATM so it's not very smart by me to critize something you may/may not still be doing.

I really like your casting. You are doing a very good job . Your understanding of the game is very good and i really feel comfortable while you cast.

I really like your casting so far. No real complaints except I think you tend to talk a little too fast at times.

You talk too quickly. Also I think you are a little bias towards protoss. I know you play them.

I'd like you to call out Gretorp on his poor choices of adjectives. Something needs to be done about that.

Hi Orb. I like your casting but I also think you talk to fast sometimes... Take a bigger pause between your sentences so we have time to process the separate bites of information.

I dunno if you're controlling the camera or if it's gretorp, but either way it needs some work. Too jittery and not smooth

you talk way too fast, and it's a very bad thing. it makes you sound like you're nervous all the time. also, im not sure ive ever heard you make a single joke, but that may be a good thing

I like your casting, thanks for actually describing battles as they unfold instead of saying "Oh my GOD!" repeatedly.

I think you've really improved from the past and you do a great job now. Easily one of my favorites

You called a couple of things wrong, which you should absolutely NEVER do. Otherwise you aren't fulfilling your role as a caster.

For example, when you saw that Puma had moved a factory on to his only tech lab instead of getting bio upgrades, you called that as a macro play which it absolutely isn't to anyone who knows anything about TvZ....

I generally like your casting, I do not know what you could improve.

I think overall you cast quite well, just when there's a big battle going on or some crucial moment happening you tend to talk really fast. It's understandable, but it seems like you're pushing the pace way too quick and it feels out of tempo. Slow it down a little bit please.

Your analysis is insightful but your casting is really bland. It is educational but it is not fun. It lacks personality; I notice that your face is always serious. Adding humor may help, as long as it is not the corny stuff from Gretorp. Unfortunately, you and Gretorp make such a bland team that it just is not entertaining for me to watch. It is one reason why I watch so little NASL.

If you two (Orb and Gretorp) had paired with other casters, instead of each other, that may help. Those other casters' personalities could have rubbed off onto you and Gretorp. For example, Orb paired with Day9, and Gretorp paired with Husky, would probably have been far more entertaining to watch than if you paired with Gretorp.

Solid casting, lot's of potential. Just keep studying the game, and working with a variety of different casters. There's superficial stuff like dressing fancier, working out, and generally maximizing your handsomeness -- but that has less to do with casting and applies to all guys.
