Outplay Academy
My past work has included casting for PGL, ESL UK, ESL Asia, Kaos TV, The NUEL, Vaingloryleague, and Multiplay, to name a few. I have extensive experience in both color and play-by-play on a casting team, in addition to experience solo casting. I've acted as host on several streams, and can also act as host at live events. I am in the process of upgrading my internet connection, that will allow me to stream from my workplace. Until then I cannot take jobs where I must be the one to stream. Watch this space!
I have the most experience in League of Legends, however I am moving into new titles all the time. At the moment I cover League of Legends, Vainglory Hearthstone, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. I am a quick learner, so if you are interested in me casting a game that is still in beta, or hosting a community stream, get in touch. I would love to help!
I've been an avid esports fan ever since I got into Starcraft. I've become very experienced at League of Legends, both through my own play and experience casting games at all levels and offer coaching for it. If you are a player at platinum level or lower in solo queue I can teach you any role up to a low diamond standard. I can help with map awareness, strategy and tactics, mechanics, and more! The first lesson is free so why not give it a shot?
In addition to coaching for solo queue, I can help out teams who are getting started in ranked 5s. As a result of casting so many high level and professional games I have a larger knowledge base than just as a player. Some areas where I can help include, about rotations, wave management, and building team compositions which can improve your game! I also can help with preparation, and team communication skills.
When I joined The National University Esports League several years ago, I was only shoutcasting for them. I progressed into the Head of Broadcasting role and now that I have left the organization proper, I act as a Broadcasting Consultant for them. Through this, I have gained much knowledge an experience in many tasks required in the running of an esports business. If you are just starting out, I can help with: how to structure your teams, how to find good talent, how to build a community around your service. For more established organizations I can provide information on how to expand, run events, and build your public face (stream and otherwise.)
In addition, if you are a company that is interested in learning about esports or wants to develop an esports game or product, I can provide invaluable assistance. Having also achieved a Bachelor Of Arts in Game Design & Production Management, I have studied the development of game titles, and can tailor this knowledge to esports to help you develop your title.
Over the past few years I find my experience with shoutcasting has contributed to my gameplay as much as my shoutcasting has been enhanced by my gameplay, but there's more to being a shoutcaster than knowing a game well. If you are interested in becoming a shoutcaster I can help you with how to get started, how to work with a co-caster, how to get jobs and much more!
In addition to giving one off lessons in shoutcasting, I am currently working on a shoutcasting course that will cover everything you need to know over five or six lessons. The aim of the course will be to help you break onto the scene and share your passion for your chosen esports title!
