Why Choose a Real Broadcaster Over an Actor Doing an Announcer Voice?

Need a PA announcer voice that sounds like the real thing…not an actor pretending? I'm Donny Baarns, and I've spent over a decade as an actual sports broadcaster calling games on TV and radio across 7 different sports. I've announced for Major League Baseball (Oakland A's), Division I universities, and countless sporting events. When you hire me for your PA announcer voiceover, you're getting the authentic energy and professionalism that comes from real broadcast experience.

I've called Major League Baseball for the Oakland A's. I’ve had the World Feed call for the Copa America Final, World Cup Qualifying, and been on FS1. I was featured in the New York Times for my broadcasting work. And my classic announcer voice was featured in Budweiser's tribute to Jackie Robinson.

When you hire me, you're getting authentic broadcast energy…not an impersonator.

Perfect for:

• Youth sports lineup announcements (baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, volleyball)

• Professional sporting event intros and player announcements

• Sports highlight videos and hype reels

• Tournament openings and championship introductions

• Fight night announcements (MMA, boxing, wrestling)

• Sports team promotional videos

• Game day energy for live events or broadcasts

• Sports documentary narration requiring authentic announcer energy

What Makes Me Different:

Most voiceover artists who offer "sports announcer" voices are actors trying to imitate what they think a broadcaster sounds like. But I'm not imitating—I'm doing what I actually do for a living.

Here's what real broadcast experience brings to your project:

Authentic Pacing & Rhythm: I know how to build energy for player introductions, when to pause for dramatic effect, and how to maintain excitement without sounding forced.

Proper Pronunciation: After years of calling games, I've mastered athlete name pronunciation, sports terminology, and the cadence that makes announcements clear even in noisy environments.

Versatile Energy Levels: I can deliver everything from intimate, serious Hall of Fame induction energy to over-the-top "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE" intensity—because I've done both in real broadcast situations.

Professional Consistency: When you have 50 player names to announce, I maintain the same energy and quality from first to last. That consistency comes from announcing hundreds of lineups in real game situations.

how sports pa announcer projects work:

Step 1: Send Me Your Lineup or Script

Email me your player names, team information, or event details. For youth sports, this might be a roster list. For professional events, you might have a detailed script. Either way works!

Step 2: Pronunciation Check

You’ll record a quick read of all of your team names (on your phone is fine; sound quality doesn’t need to be great) and send them to me…that way, I know exactly how your names are to be pronounced and can get it right for you the first time! This is especially important for athletes with unique names or international players. Phonetic or written pronunciations can often be interpreted in multiple ways…this way, there’s no confusion.

Step 3: Style Discussion

Do you want high-energy hype? Professional and polished? Old-school classic? I can match any style. If you have a reference announcer you like, share it—I can dial in that vibe.

Step 4: Recording & Delivery

I record your announcements in my professional studio. Standard turnaround is 48-72 hours. Rush delivery (24 hours) available for urgent events. You'll receive high-quality WAV and MP3 files ready for your sound system or video edit.

Pricing for sports pa announcer voiceovers:

Every sports announcement project is unique, so I provide customized quotes based on your specific needs. Factors that affect pricing:
- Number of player/participant names to announce
- Complexity and length of introductions
- Rush delivery needs
- Usage rights (local youth event vs. broadcast commercial…don’t worry, if you’re a youth or Little League team, no Usage rights will be involved)

Frequently asked questions: Sports pa announcer voiceovers

Why should I choose you over other voiceover artists?

Ever notice that most “sports announcers” in movies and commercials don’t sound very good? That’s because they usually aren’t actual sports broadcasters. They’re actors who are trying to pretend.

I’m different, because I’ve been doing the real thing for over a decade. I’ve called baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, football, volleyball, softball, and I’ve done it on TV and radio. When you hire me, you're getting authentic broadcast energy…not an actor trying to imitate what they think an announcer sounds like. My voice was featured in Budweiser's Jackie Robinson 100th Birthday tribute, and the New York Times has profiled my broadcasting work.

I’m also versatile. I love doing all kinds of announcer-voices, and people love my work.

How much do announcer voiceovers cost?

Every project is unique, so pricing varies based on your specific needs. Most of my clients for announcer voiceovers are parents planning youth sports events, wedding planners, or corporate event managers…and their projects range from simple lineup announcements to elaborate multi-part intros. Email me at Donny@Donnyvoice.com with details about your project, and I'll provide a customized quote within 24 hours.

What’s your turnaround time?

For most announcer voiceover projects, my standard turnaround is 48-72 hours after script approval. Rush delivery (24 hours or same-day) is available for urgent projects. Wedding announcements typically need more lead time for script review and client approval…I recommend booking at least 2 weeks before your event.

Can you match the style of a specific announcer?

Absolutely! Whether you want the energy of Bruce Buffer (UFC), the classic professionalism of Bob Sheppard (Yankees), or the intensity of Michael Buffer ("Let's get ready to rumble"), I can adapt my delivery to match. Send me a reference clip, and I'll dial in that style.

Do you provide music or sound effects?

If you provide music beds/tracks, I can combine them with the announcements! I’ll need to charge extra for that, but it’s definitely doable.

What file formats do you deliver?

I deliver high-quality WAV files (broadcast standard) and MP3 files (for easy sharing and web use). If you need a specific format for your venue's sound system or video editor, just let me know—I can accommodate most format requests.

how far in advance should i book?

For youth sports seasons or scheduled events, I recommend booking at least 1 week in advance. Rush projects (24-48 hour turnaround) are available depending on my schedule—email me and I'll let you know if I can accommodate your timeline.

Can you record announcements for an entire tournament?

Yes! I've recorded multi-day tournament packages including opening ceremonies, team introductions, daily match announcements, and championship presentations. I can provide bulk pricing for comprehensive tournament coverage.

Where are you located? Do you work with clients outside your area?

I'm based in Florida but work with clients nationwide and internationally. All of my voiceover work is done remotely from my professional home studio. Whether you're planning a wedding in California, a youth sports event in Texas, or a corporate conference in New York, I can deliver high-quality announcer voiceovers digitally.
