There is a famous gamer who swears by the mantra “Practice, Practice, Practice” and whilst its only one of my “P’s”, its no less important when it comes to commentating. Practice when and wherever you can, either live or back to friends or family. Work on your pronunciations, work on your phrases and don’t be limited to just a few of the same adjectives in explaining the action. Look up words you often use and see if there are alternatives to them and perhaps even do what one of my old colleagues used to do and write them down on a piece of paper and cello tape them to your desk when you cast.
If you really want to succeed and you have the voice and the personality for this kind of job, then practice is probably all you need to get good at it, so stick with it, even if you are being battered by the often overly critical gaming communities.
