Talking

So how do you deal with all these?LANGUAGEIn addition to all these differences and depending on how you presentedat home, you’ll most likely have to alter your presentation.The first and most obvious aspect of this is vocabulary.I don’t mean you need to dumb down the commentary - far from it- but you’ll need to consider such things as the event having sponsors,there being young people in the crowd and the presence ofthe mainstream press, particularly at large events. All of this meansyou need to moderate your language, especially if you’re used toswearing on your regular online stream.THE CROWDA crowd is a wonderful thing for an esports broadcaster: hopefullyyou’ll be with them or facing them rather than stuck backstage soyou can use their noise and hype in a positive way in your commentary.I don’t recommend specificallyasking them to cheer allthe time (it’s actually prettyhorrible to hear “let me hearyou cheer!” and similar phrases)but through your voice andcommentary you can invite it.Great plays deserve great commentary, and the crowd will add tothis feeling, hopefully hyping you up, too. I’ve always felt a greatcrowd helps commentators feed off the emotion, hype and feel ofthe match to deliver something much better than they would beable to at home.32
