I've never casted or narrated anything, so I have a couple of questions about such things.
Do people generally write scripts for speaking videos? If they don't, how do they keep up a continuous speech without struggling at the uh and um?
Some people naturally have nice-sounding voices for the task. If you don't think that you do, is there anything to be done about it, anything that can be learned or practiced to make the voice more pleasant?

i think if you're passionate about something and it genuinely excites you then you will have no trouble finding words for big plays or intense moments,it isn't like the fake ass people who commentate football games :)

You're welcome.

Casting generally can't be scripted, but videos in general can. Even day9 who does replays and watches them before hand only makes a guide, but 90% of the words that come out aren't written down. You just have to know how to speak and what to say.
Get a picture or video and start describing it in no particular order or focus. Learn how to articulate what's happening. You have to understand the game though to actually be a good caster, but it should honestly come naturally so long as something is happening in the game. Being able to think about what X class would do or Y player is also important.
Actually training your voice to be "pleasant" takes years (some voice actors heard at least). Some are just gifted in the first place. Most viewers don't care unless you have a terrible accent (awesome accents are fine).

I think live commentary is the best. It's probably more nervewracking than making a script, but live comms are usually just better.
