My ambition is to become a highly respected commentator, so I wanted to get an idea of what people think makes a commentator stand out?
Obviously making sure facts are presented accurately and helping to create a script are important, as to is knowing when to keep your mouth shut (really dislike commentators who don't know when to stop talking).
There seems to be a wave of generic commentators breaking through who continually use football cliches, I'm hoping to be different.
So, I was hoping you guys and gals could explain what you detest or like about commentary.
Personally, my favourite commentator was Barry Davies, really enjoyed his style and voice.
