sports commentator
Play-by-play voice
A sports commentator is a broadcaster who describes and analyzes athletic events for an audience.
The role combines play-by-play narration with expert analysis, often filled by former athletes or coaches.
The commentators called it the greatest upset in tournament history.
Color commentators provide context and insight between plays, while play-by-play commentators track the action in real time.
