Re: Who is the best Announcer 2006 Edition

I had the pleasure of working with Joel at the GTR this year. I've never had more fun as an Emcee. Joel has that Phil Hartman type voice, where he can go from normal speak to announcer speak in a split second. Joel's a real student of the game and his announcing reflects that. In my book Blair and him are 1a and 1b.

A special mention to Ron Partridge, who's one of my all-time favourites. His dry style worked perfectly, and he had a wealth of knowledge when it came to FIRST history. I'll never forget listening to him call the Newton elimination rounds in 2002 as Beatty stormed through the field. Beatty would usually put a lock down on the match in the first 15 seconds, so Ron would have to find a way to kill the next 1:45. It was hilarious.

Re: Who is the best Announcer 2006 Edition

Ok, lots of great names, lots of great announcers!

Here is what I want you guys to do. I don't have any access to any competition archive this year, nor do I have the time to find them (finals coming up).

Since you sounds like you think you know what you are talking about, I am going to ask you to provide "evidence" to back it up. A link to a webcast archive, a mp3 file of the announcing, a google video link, I don't care. Anything to prove that you know what you are talking about when it comes to the greatest announcer of this season!

Surely that's not too hard, right?

Re: Who is the best Announcer 2006 Edition

Yea being a Jersey girl and all--and of course a MORT member, I MUST say THE VOICE OF NJ, GEORGE. Who else would do a flip to introduce a team? COME ON PEOPLE. Him and Chiniqua are the Dynamic Duo.

"We want George..." <--so started that chant

Re: Who is the best Announcer 2006 Edition

I don't remember who was the announcer for Curie this year (too busy in the pits..). But I will never forget this quote: "Booh-Yea, Booh-Yea, 610's droppin' them like it's hot, OH Man 610's droppin' them like its HOT!" (Match 3 in Curie if you wanna listen)

That was Awesome!

That would be Sir Charles, I don't even have to listen to the match to know that...the description was a dead giveaway.

The Rising Star Award should go to this guy, IMHO. He really got the crowd's attention in Monty!
Which announcer would that be Pete? Me or the chicken?

Re: Who is the best Announcer 2006 Edition

Jeff Seaton, the one and only for me, I grew up in FIRST with him, so I have to say that. He's the best. Next is Blair, he's awesome, and anyone who jumps on goals and rides Segways on rollerblades is a winner in my book.

Re: Who is the best Announcer 2006 Edition

My favorite announcer is SHANIQUA (did I spell that right?), the voice of the NJ regional. she really knows how to get the crowd going and it was so great to have her at nationals too.

another great guy is...uh...I think his name is Sky...I forget his last name but he's a tall bald guy. also at NJ
actually he might be a head ref but he's still really cool

Technically Chiniqua is an MC, so she's not really part of the question, but nonetheless she is my favorite MC to work with, granted I have only worked with her, but we work well together so it's all good.


And in reference to your other person, Sky is indeed a head ref.
