We got another strong submission for Tell the Truth Tuesday this week. Jonah Krell subscribed to the website and submitted some basketball highlights and a demo of last March’s Pac-12 Tournament championship game.
This is really good tape, Jonah! I appreciate you sending this in and your submission. Leave Jonah a comment and give some feedback in the comments section below!
Some basic critique etiquette:
No fluffy false positives. When you say something positive, it must be sincere. Positive feedback implies that the announcer would be well served to replicate that performance as consistently as possible in the future.
All criticism should be constructive. When something sounds like it misses the mark, the point is not to demean, but to identify areas for improvement and demonstrate ways to implement positive change.
Critiques should aim at helping people identify ways to take the next step in their development. It makes no sense to compare a novice to national network announcers who are decades further along in their career.
Be respectful. Make sure the statements you offer check all three boxes: is it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?
