Radio Storytellers. Radio commentators have to paint a picture with their words since listeners can't see the action. They use vivid, exciting descriptions to make you feel like you're right there at the game.

TV Voiceover Artists. Television commentators speak over the pictures you see on screen, so they don't need to describe every tiny detail. You can already watch the players and hear the crowd cheering in the background.

Live and Real Time. A commentator talks while the game is actually happening, not before or after. This means they have to think fast and speak clearly even when the action gets wild and exciting.

Hidden on Screen. Most TV commentators aren't shown on camera during the game, though sometimes networks let you see them in the broadcast booth before the game starts or during breaks.

Make It Thrilling. Whether on radio or TV, a commentator's job is to make the game more exciting and fun to follow, helping you understand what matters and why the crowd is going wild.
