Never lose sight of why you wanted to do this job as it’s likely you will be passionate about gaming, or perhaps just one particular game. Passion is as important in commentating as preparation is. You can spend 2 months preparing for a tournament and know every single thing about someone, including the colour of their dog and their inside leg measurement, but if you aren’t passionate about the games or the players or teams or league, then you aren’t going to come across that way either. How can you possibly expect to enthuse others about gaming if you aren’t enthused yourself?
It is, as I see it, one of the fundamental reasons I commentate and also a responsibility that I feel in my own small way that I can spread the passion of gaming to others outside of it, to enthuse them through my own enthusiasm as it were.
