Hey guys

I'm looking to start shoutcasting for tf2. How would I go about doing that?

I'd like to do live casts for ESEA teams.

I think you should first try to at least be a recognizable name in the community, and maybe at least learn the basics of 6s at a pug level.

If you want people to take you seriously.

live stream ESEA-IM matches on twitch that other people aren't casting (shouldn't be hard to find ever) and atleast the 12 people that played the match may be interested in the VOD if nobody else.

I find that things often turn out well when you have a co-caster or two to speak about the game at hand. A good idea for you may be to find a co-caster with a good deal of experience to help with the technical commentary.

This is good advice.

I would say

1. Get some experience before you do anything.

Some people came into TF2 casting with experience casting real sports, some people came into it with experience casting e-sports. If you don't have any of that, you may want to just get into that practice of talking for 30-45 minutes first and covering action. Find STV's to cast either through UGC (they make it really easy) or ETF2L or whatever you can find.

And then 2. Reach out and make connections.

I first made contacts through UGC, which then led me to Blackout Gaming where I cast a lot of Euro, which then led me to eXtv and TFTV. Just make connections however you can - send emails or private messages, show an interest. This way you get to work with all sorts of different people, learn as you go, and improve as you go.

Best of luck!
