So, I've been fortunate enough to get the opportunity to be the race announcer a couple of downhill events (Maxxis Eastern States Cup - Blue Mountain & Thunder Mountain so far) and will be doing so again in Windham, NY this weekend.
I want to do the best job possible and was wondering if you all had any advice for me. Maybe you even attended one of those races and heard me working? (shudder)
Anyway, I struggle with pronouncing unusual names (really important to me to get those right) and I'm still learning the ropes. It's actually very hard work coordinating with the rest of the timing team and keeping the music playing in between announcing (I use an iTunes channel).
What should I be doing? Not doing? etc.
TIA!
