My number 1 advice would be don't stop, and listen to feedback!
Everything else has been covered, I would have posted a longer write up, if I had time yesterday haha
13hours streaming session with Zain was pretty crazy .
Actually, what I will write is that if you want to get real deep into casting, you need to promote yourself / actually do work outside of casting hours.
Stuff I do outside of casting (Hopefully to give you an idea):
- Promote myself via other websites (TL, CG, Reddit, SC2casts.com, etc)
- Work on elements for the stream. (Overlays, videos, animated gifs, and so on)
- Learn the streaming software inside and out (I have XSplit almost under wraps, and learning Wirecast as we speak)
- After a stream (Usually the next day) cut up the hours long VOD into each individual game so that they can be uploaded onto Youtube for people who missed them.
- Watch other tournament streams for ideas to adopt onto my own. (Stream elements, Observer work, Filling downtime)
- Watch Starcraft 2 (To lean the meta-game of current match-ups)
- Play Starcraft 2
Generally speaking though you don't need to do this at this time, just focus on your casting as a whole and then when you knuckle down on that, then you work on everything else
