Racing commentary, finding the balance

I love commentary on videos. It really personalizes each channel. Everyone that does shows there own personalities and flare. Myself I am not the greatest. I do enjoy doing it. I work to get better each time. I race a race edit it all together then do commentary as I watch it back. It feels very much like I am calling it live and seeing it for 1st time.  Then I will add in sound effects. It is time consuming. And I appreciate All who do it. And appreciate all who watch and actually listen to me. 

Having gone to broadcast school I like to try & do a professional commentary like a real race. Not always easy, but it is a fine line between being a bit dull, and screaming like a madman.

Play by play and color commentators is best, but not always possible. I just try not to overdo it, and do it without "planned spontenaity", but actully act as though I'm seeing the action for the first time, which isn't all that untrue; when you shoot it often happens so fast you only get to see the details when slowed down in editing.I do enjoy it though!

I like that each person has their own track and approach to narrating their events. It is really a broad spectrum and each has its own merits. There is always the volume button for folks that don't like or want to hear any commentary!

To me, commentary is the hardest part. I am not a very out spoken person and it doesn't come natral to me. I prefer videos with commentary so I feel that I really need to do it in my videos. I have been experimenting with using some AI voices in mine to take some of the load off of me talking through the who thing. I really commend those that do a great job at it.
