shoutcaster
Esports play-by-play voice
A shoutcaster is a person who provides live commentary for video game competitions, narrating the action for viewers watching esports events.
The term combines "shout"—reflecting the excited, rapid-fire delivery common during intense gameplay—with "broadcaster." Shoutcasters typically work in pairs, with one handling play-by-play and another providing analysis: The shoutcasters went wild when the underdog team pulled off the upset.
