Hey, I have been wanting to get into casting for quite some time now and am thinking about finally getting started. I was looking for some stv's of matches or scrims that you would like casted. Keep in mind I am a very unprofessional caster and will start out pretty bad, so don't expect amazingness for my first couple of casts.

Anyway if you would like to give me an stv(s) you can contact me at my steam profile here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/volox

Awes

Hey there Awesomegy,

If you're looking for a big repository of STVs to work with, take a look over at some match pages on ESEA. Every match from the past three months is on there.

Here's an example for you to see where you need to look to get started: http://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=3199420

Have fun!

http://tf2demos.com/ Where anyone can upload, just make sure it's the STV and not a player POV

http://etf2l.org/about/demo/ Demos from ETF2L, both HL and 6s

http://www.vanillatf2.org/demos/ Not updated very frequently, but good for practice.

Also, if you're interested in UGC Highlander, consider applying to UGCLive as a caster. http://live.ugcleague.com/casterapp.php There you can get access to the STV demos teams upload after matches.

Also, here's a list of tips I got from Duder, eXtine, and Sal when I first started (it'd kinda poorly organized at the moment, but the ideas are there). https://www.dropbox.com/s/b74z1sbuksyaumd/caster%20tips.doc It can be overwhelming so I recommend focusing on improving one thing per cast (like one cast, focus just on camerawork, another cast focus on no awkward pauses, etc). Remember your first 20 casts are going to be terrible. Practice doesn't make perfect, because there's no such thing as a perfect TF2 cast, but practice will make you much more enjoyable to watch! Good luck and remember to have fun! (and make sure your mic isn't muted)
