Hi amigos, a while back I had a person on here questioning my method and commentary and he ended up giving me some really insightful and detailed feedback on a cast I had at TVAL. So I thought to ask as many of you as possible. What can I do better?
I would hate to be stagnant in my growth and constructive criticism from the public can be interesting so if you've ever heard a cast of mine(ideally more recently) then feel free to send your feedback on what you like and what I can improve upon either here or DM or Twitter if anything as well.
If you haven't then tell me what about your favorite casters to keep you wanting to listen to them? so I can learn more from my peers too (if you have specific examples like from a VOD that would be amazing)
Please let me know so I can grow
Cheers.
Hi I'm RavishingRavish and I want your feedback
Yo this is dope. It's super refreshing to see casters reach out to the community this is exactly what Val needs right now.
As for improvement, it seems like you try to force big and fancy words into your casting sometimes. Most times it works but there are a couple times where it just sounds awkward and ruins the flow ya know?

Adding onto this, please just do not become like sports commentators, every time I watch a soccer/football game the commentators are speaking a special language that I don't understand, ty

moatz [#4]Wait did u ever cast those Knights tourneys or was that someone else?
hes the guy who casted the tsm v 100t game
the peak of esports casting
idk how you cast but i personally like it when games are casted with some banter between the casters, like PanPoc.
I also think it's really important to be able to convey information very quickly and concisely - something the experienced casters in CSGO can do. I guess that comes with experience though, but it's difficult to enjoy the game if the casters are flubbing words because they're not used to the change in game tempo.
I also really don't like it when casters seem to kind of act on authority with some play when it's obviously not. I think it was Balla who did this a few times and it really turned me off as a viewer. Obviously, it's hard to build interesting narratives if you don't do that, so I guess some level of discretion should be there, it's just..idunno.

Im big on banter personally and its something my new duo and I have been working on heavily since we know it makes the cast just sound so much more fun. And definitely only saying the key points in VAL is something tough as so much goes on but ill make sure to brush up consistently so it doesn't happen as often.
Could describe a bit more on the point about balla just so I understand on how I should present narratives in the future if anything?

it's just stuff like that. I mean it's not a problem to build a narrative but I think my point is to not build narratives that take away from a player's skill. These are pro players and while they do make mistakes I don't think the narrative should be to point out a potential throw.
If FNS is hesitating, then why? There's no reason.
If FNS is not shooting because he wants to close the gap, there's a reason. There's a legitimate reason.
I guess that's the difference.
If someone clearly whiffs that's fair, it's a shocker and part of the entertainment. But usually one can tell when one is whiffing/making a bad play and one is trying to make something happen.
NG1nS [#17]i like your casting so i have no complaints. sry 😓
haha no worries amigo preciate you being kind. If you had thoughts on what other casters do that you like please also lmk!
ItsMeDio [#16]I think it's cool to see different style of casting, and i like your cast. But, sometimes it can feel excessive. You have to know how to combine and make it not too overwhelming.
Gotcha, been working on finding balance a ton over the past bit. If you happen to catch any of the casts in the near future def lmk what you thought.
amyayayy [#8]GIGACHAD RAVISHING CASTS, THE TSM VS 100T MATCH WAS THE MOST FUN I HAD WATCHING VALORANT,, GENUINELY
