StarCommentator: ESPN Sports Presenter Competition

Ever wanted to present on Sports Centre? Well ESPN and Skype have teamed up to give one lucky person the opportunity to do just that. They have launched a new program dubbed Star Commentator whereby entrants use Skype’s video recording service embedded on the site (www.starcommentator.com) to submit a small video application; and if they’re good enough they’ll present a sport segment on the Asian edition of the show.

Users must first go to www.starcommentator.com and click ‘Audition’. Then they’ll have to choose one of several sports which include Football, Formula 1, Cricket and Basketball. They then select one of the scripts associated with that sport. For example, one of the scripts concerning Formula 1 talks about Michael Schumacher’s exit from the sport.

All that’s left to do is to make sure you have your lines rehearsed, hair combed, the lighting is just right and your web cam is set up appropriately. Then move on to step four which is the recording screen where you’ll record the video using your webcam. A small dialogue box may pop up which asks your permission to access your web cam. Above the recording screen you’ll see the tele-prompter with your lines scrolling down for you to read.
