GameTimeRadio Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I am looking for information or sites that has help to train sports play by play announcers. Maybe a training course or helpful hints for my high school users to create a compelling broadcast of sporting events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billh Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I don't know of any training courses. I can only say, you have it or you don't. It's not something you can just learn, you need to like the sport, know all of the players and watch and call it as you see it. Maybe you can get some videos of games and watch them and have students call the plays with the volume down. You can always review them with the sound up and see if they saw the same thing the announcer did and listen to how they say it and how the announcer stated it. Rather how he/she said it, the tones in their voice etc.. "I'm Retired" Donations PayPal.Me/artistview . I only do dry reads, if you want FX's you'll have to add them, I might add them.

They usually don't know the player names, so that makes it a little tough. There are some sites that offer broadcasting camps but they cost dollars that schools don't have. i am hoping some of the great posters here can chime in. I know they are here just like your post helped. Thanks again for a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 If you googled? and no dice? I would probably go with inventing their own clockwheel. Basically make a clock wheel for the game your watching, have it be an in order list of: current play Team fact on teams. Fact on a player. current play fact on rules of football, and how its changed. sponsor spot (or product they choose) ect. Give them a date to broadcast. Do your local teams, Its obviously not expensive to broadcast a local area with shoutcast or even some NSV. Make them stick to their clockwheel, and they will shoe in. It could be a great experience.
