Decoding the art of cricket commentary

#3 Voice modulation and importance of flow

What you speak is as vital as how you speak it. Voice modulation has an immense influence on your words. Realizing the value of pauses, understanding the importance of pitch and giving stress to certain words always help in making a listener’s experience joyful.

The commentary is not only about throwing words and clichés in the ears of fans. It’s about narrating the match like a story and describing the moment like poetry. Having a good command over the language and an even better control over your voice helps ace this underrated job.
