Sportscasters have a distinctive sound. There’s something about a classic sports broadcast that somehow indicates to a viewer or listener that they’re watching sports. Those pipes are hard to come by, but maybe it’s not as difficult as you might think.
A man with a golden sportscasting voice has been uploading videos on YouTube for fun. Bob Menery says he’s a comedian and voiceover actor on Twitter, but he might have a career in broadcasting ahead of him. His friends uploaded two videos of him pretending to call sporting events, and they’re both pretty convincing.

Wearing purple sunglasses and sitting on a couch, the man calls a fake game against the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. If you look at it quickly it actually appears that he’s lip synching some broadcast that was recorded, but no, that’s his real voice.
The second video features him calling a golf event, setting up another Packers/Patriots game and a fake interview with Aaron Rodgers.
He’s also apparently a fan of the Salt Lake City Screaming Eagles and has broadcasted a game for them after the team found out about his golden pipes.

He says he knew “nothing” about arena football when he did that, but may be he should do a bit more research and put a tape together. I think he’s got something here.
