What is required to become a color commentator?
In order to understand what it requires to become a color commentator, first let’s define the term. According to Merriam-Webster, a color commentator is a person whose job is to make interesting comments on a radio or television broadcast about the things that are happening in a sports contest. A play-by-play commentator by comparison is someone who is describing what is currently happening during the game to the viewers. Now we can talk about the skills necessary for this career.
According to work.chon.com, to be successful a color commentator you need to have a distinctive voice, and an engaging personality that meshes well with the play-by-play commentator. Finding my “recording voice” will be difficult because of the laid-back nature of my everyday tone along with the casual vernacular I have. I think as of right now my voice is distinct, but not “professional”. Having an engaging personality is what I’m all about, especially when it comes to sports. The biggest challenge to being engaging would be if the game we have to commentate on is boring or fractured.
In this photo from the website work.chron they provide a review service that lists good qualities for a commentator. The things that stuck out to me were Extremely knowledgeable about the sport, and willing to research statistics and historical information about the sport and the players before a game. Being very knowledgeable about the sport shows passion, commitment, and enthusiasm that I know I can bring to a court or pitch side press box. Historical information can help new viewers learn about the game of the past while watching the game of the present. That history can also provide a comparative lens with the current players for fans to see similarities and make connections to the older players.
As a commentator the most underrated skill you can have is quick thinking. No game plays out the same way every time so, you need to have the ability to stay calm and reassuring for the viewers at home in the presence of a traumatic injury or fan invasion. If you as a commentator lose your cool, then the viewer is also put in distress as well.
Enrique Oliu breathes baseball. The crack of the bat and the cheers of the crowd run through his veins. One other thing about the color analyst for the Tampa Bay Rays' Spanish radio broadcasts: He's blind.
The blood is flowing on and off the ice in the matchup of the season.
