Must for sportscasters of any age September 18, 2008
I found Tom Hedrick's, "The Art of Sportscasting", extremely informative.
It provides tips for those just starting out in the business as well as for 30-plus year veterans like myself.
We all know that you really learn about being a sportscaster by actually
performing whatever the job is, but this book gives you hints on HOW to go about performing that task.
It doesn't matter if you want to go into radio or television, this book will be a big help to you. I just wish it had been available back in the mid-70's!
What a resource! February 25, 2008
I bought this book because it was a textbook for a sportscasting class that I am currently taking. The insights and working wisdom in this book are phenomenal! I can see why the professor, an ESPN alum, chose to use this as his textbook. The interviews are well written and explain not only the subtleties of sportscasting, but also hammer home the basic fundamentals of good sports broadcasting. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to broadcast, from little leagues to the pros.

If you are just starting out in the business , this is the book for you , due to its insight on not just the game itself , but the before (preparation) , during (working with others) , and after (reviewing your work) aspects of the job. For those who have been in the business , but are looking to take that next step , this is the book for you. My first time out after reading this book , my interviews were crisper , my work with others was more professional , and the end result was a more solid product. If you are serious about sportscasting as a career , this book will give you the insight to help make it happen!
