EPTI don't know the software needed to start doing these, so I would like help with this. Also, I would like recommendations for VODs to commentate on (preferably a TvP or TvZ) (and where I can get the videos)!
Thanks - I want to get to this ASAP!

- Always keep talking. You never want dead air, ever. Dead air is bad. It's okay to have dramatic pauses which you can use to collect your thoughts, though. If there's nothing really happening, you can talk about the players, the league format, previous games on the same map, what's at stake, there's really no end to what you can talk about. - Some babbling is okay but be careful about repeating yourself. One common mistake casters make is they'll say "the zealots of Kim Dong Soo" "the dragoons of Kim Dong Soo" "the probes of Kim Dong Soo" etc. - Don't constantly mention units by their full names. While it's somewhat okay to say "Ultralisk" when you could shorten it to "Ultra", don't say "Zerg Ultralisk" please. This is my own personal input because AfterBurn used to do this and it drove me nuts. "And there goes the Protoss Probe of Kim Dong Soo!" - Another hard part is commenting on what is actually happening during a battle. You have to be able to notice and react to little things the players are doing. "You can see how Kim Dong Soo is targeting the center of those Zealots with his Reaver for maximum splash damage, great play!" is a good thing to say. - When battles heat up, intensify your voice. Part of the magic of commentators is they have the ability to amplify the effect of what's happening on the screen. If a huge battle is happening and you're not enthused, most of that magic is lost. - Periodically take the time to identify strategic changes and adaptations the players are making. Something like "Kim Dong Soo's Dragoon numbers are slipping, it seems he's saving up resources to switch to Carriers". - Excitement is top priority. You can provide insightful commentary but it must never replace the excitement factor. I don't know if I personally agree with this but for the average person it's better to have Um Jae Kyung talking than Kim Dong Soo. | ||

It's hard to get more people to do it, but I noticed that there's no "dead air" in the Korean videos because when they speak, they speak as if they're talking to each other, not the viewer. So it feels more like a conversation (an exciting conversation) Thats why the Day/Nony commentaries for Bisu vs Savior were pure win. | ||

Microphone Audacity (for recording audio) and a VOD to watch while recording. Then combine them with with WMM. If you want to commentate on replays, you must use Camtasia Studio  | ||

I think superiorwolf is good, but I would like to cater my VODs to the medium level player looking for the reasoning behind strategical decisions. (therefore no commentary about why the Terran walls in TvP) I don't know the software needed to start doing these, so I would like help with this.

I think theres just been a lack of initiative to get it running/figuring out timings. Please do one, even if it's noobtacular it would still be cool to hear a few tlnetters hammering on about a rep | ||
