Comparing Volleyball Broadcasts

Asia Hill

LULING,LA- I watched two volleyball games to analyze the announcers. The first video was a high school game that included one announcer. Her introduction was more dull than expected. It did not include a lot of information about the teams or the environment. She did not go into depth about the teams and players as much as she could have. It was a very exciting game, but her tone did not correspond with the action in the game.  She mentioned the points frequently and followed the game swiftly. The second video9 I viewed was an Olympic volleyball game. This game included two announcers and a sideline reporter. The introduction was exciting and provided a lot of information. The announcers explained a lot about the team’s past games and statistics. They had a lot of information about each player. The score was not mentioned frequently but the game was followed well.
