These are the 10 ways an Announcer is telling the industry, promoters, directors, and producers… “don’t pick me! don’t pick me because I’m not ready”.
“The Announcer’s Top 10 Tells” is an illuminating look at the telltale signs that an Announcer may not yet be at that next-level. Critical to understanding the importance to these signs is the fact that they have gone unnoticed by the Announcer, and therefore have become a “giveaway” — completely unbeknownst to the Announcer themself.
No matter what the Announcer does, no matter how they’re projecting, no matter what they’ve got going on verbal or nonverbal…
Michael C. Williams has been announcing professionally for over 25 years. While many may know Michael primarily as a Ring Announcer, he’s put in just as many hours as a PA Announcer, a Host / Emcee, a Spokesman, a Motorsports Announcer, and as a Race Announcer for Marathons and Triathlons.
When Michael was starting out, there was never anyone for him to turn to. No one to ask questions, no one for training or coaching, and certainly no one offering any mentoring. It took the entirety of Michael’s first 10 years to begin to see the ‘Path’ and the ‘Way’ to success. It was only then that he was able to begin understanding the so-called “secrets” of how to always get to the next level, and how that could lead to a full-time career.
