Course covers the basics of calling a game, air delivery, commentary and pre-and-post game preparation. Students learn narrative and improvisation skills to convey a sports moment as well as the live sporting event. Calling play-by-play for a Texas Hold em’ Poker Tournament is also included. Students will gain practical on-air experience by calling play-by-play from actual professional games at various sporting venues. Students who are interested in doing UIC Flames basketball play-by-play must take this course prior to announcing games on WCRX-FM.
