Want to get a job calling the shots in eSports? Chris Puckett is the lead Play-by-Play commentator for MLG Live Events and joins G4 University to talk about how to become a sports commentator for video games.
Granted, being a commentator isn't one of the more normal career paths, but with eSports and live gaming events on the rise, it might not be a bad arena to throw your hat into. As livestreams and video coverage become more widespread, they are going to need people to cover, comment, and clean up at these things. Think of it as the early days of ABC Sports, without all the Howard Cosell.
Keep your browser tuned to G4 all week as we keep bringing you G4 University, and at the end of the week we'll have a guide for you that rounds up all of the information, and gives you the perfect places to start looking, along with some helpful tips.

BrickwallsGames is a new game commentator on YouTube. He has several Let's Play videos going right now. I like him because he doesn't talk during cutscene dialogue, and his death montages are hilarious! Subscribers get to vote (when he provides the option) on quests or story direction which provides a sense of connection, and loyalty, to this particular commentator.

I've just started the commentary route with some friends of mine. We are all covering multiple genres across gaing, from FPS to Flash to Steam to MMOs. It's really fun and work you can be proud of. Search user/l4b9
