Description

 You’ve been to the game, you’ve cheered on your team, and the crowd’s energy was electric, but who provided the voice to all that was happening around you?

No doubt that being a PA announcer is an exciting and dynamic job that requires a strong voice, quick thinking, and an ability to engage the crowd, however; how do you get started, what’s needed on game day, and what are the best practices that PA announcers should follow?

While there are many sports to consider, in How to Become a PA Sports Announcer, veteran PA Announcer, Eric Scholl, will walk attendees through how to find PA openings, assignment preparation, what game day entails, and the approach and practices to follow so you are always at your best for any sporting event.

In this super fun, interactive workshop, Eric will  show you the speaking techniques that PA Sports Announcers use! And you’ll get to try them out, with real scripts and insights for lacrosse, basketball, track, softball, football, and MORE!!! Plus you’ll learn ways to get involved (volunteer or paid), whether local teams or State teams need PAs more, which sports seem easy but are harder to announce, and 7 more key topics that’ll help you get on the field, sidelines, and broadcast booth (great view from there, by the way!)
You’ll learn:
  •     How to Find PA Opportunities – You’re an entrepreneur
  •     Pre-Game Prep – How to organize
  •     Game Day – Action and reads
  •     Balancing Excitement & Professionalism – Know your employer
  •     Dealing with Unexpected Situations – Keep calm and carry on
  •     Going the Extra Mile – Healthy Habits

By joining this class,  you’ll learn the insight you need to successfully begin your PA journey, the routines to repeat for success, and the best practices to follow to build a strong reputation.

The class will conclude with a short Q&A with Eric about all aspects of PA Announcing.
