Hey guys! I recently wrote a detailed guide for beginner casters. I've included a preview since the actual guide is really long so I decided not to post it in thread (the formatting is a bit of a pain).

Download the full version as a PDF here!
[It's a Dropbox link - not a virus. Promise ]

This guide is intended to help new and up and coming casters become better at commentating games. I cover everything from the ground up including:

What you need to start casting

How to get tournaments to cast

How to talk about the game

Co-casting

Keeping viewers interested

Promoting yourself & Networking

How to get sponsored

Improving


A peek inside




I hope you enjoy it! (:

Very awesome, great work I've learned a few good pointers from it and tweeted about it!

When the smartest caster in Aus makes a guide all you new casters best sit down, take notes and read it front to back.

When working with an organisation that has a website, ask them if they would be willing to front page something for you

Not asked, but done haha.

This guide is amazing and essential reading for any aspiring caster.

Cray!

You obviously put a lot of effort into this, haven't read it but it looks great. Will have a read through tomorrow since I'm starting to do a few casts for my youtube channel.

Thanks Zepph~

You never cease to amaze me Zepph! This is an excellent guide! I looked through it to see if there was anything I could suggest to add but you have nailed it all!

It's always a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to working more closely with you moving forward!

[DUCKVILLELOL]

Nicely done Zepph, very cool - some fantastic tips in there!

"As a final note, one thing that you should avoid doing is speaking in absolutes. Words like "never" and "always" should have an "almost" put in front of them if used at all. Nothing in StarCraft is ever 100% set in stone. If you avoid absolutes, you will also avoid making a fool of yourself!"

lol'd.

Great idea for a guide, giving it a read through now. Looks really good!
