Hey guys what's going on. I just recently tried out for Gillette Drafted, a show where the winner becomes a sportscaster for a national Canadian sports network (The Score and SportsNet). I went for the audition on Saturday and it went really well, they really singled me out, made me go through like a photo shoot along with another girl out of a bunch of auditions. They had trivia got 14 which is supposed to be really good and I feel like I had a good rant, still made a lot of mistakes and I have a long way to go for sure. But if you could show some support by liking my video, watching it or giving some advice on how to improve that would be great. Check out my 1 minute rant on Paul George!

That's insane man. Well I'm at York I was really considering taking broadcast journalism but my parents want me to be a lawyer so I'm in Social Sciences right now.

Do what makes you happy.
My mom wanted me to go into business and forced me to take math in high school even though I was awful at it. I failed twice and had to go to summer school twice. She says it's her biggest regret.
If being a lawyer makes you happy, by all means continue, but after you get a Social Sciences degree, you can easily transition to journalism or broadcasting with a college post-grad degree.

Agree 100% and I wish I did go for some sort of broadcasting. Definitely would like to be a lawyer because I am interested in the law but I would go crazy if I got a job in sports, that's my love and passion for sure. |

So why don't you try to get into sports law? Would definitely be way more interested in being an on-air personality on a Sports Network for sure. Like that's my dream, you know? |

Not just luck need the passion, the love and the persistent to get a job like that. Skill and drive are the most important. If you want to be on-air, it needs to be your sole goal and focus in life. |

Great opportunity and it looks like you did a good job on the video. I'm going into law school after I become a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and hope to do a mix (tax attorney or something like that)... But like ike aar said, do what you love to do and go after it hard.
Good luck in your endeavors!

Thats pretty good but did you say "7+ rebounds fuck 4+ assists" at 1:03 or was that just me? haha.
Everything else was good tho.

Also nitpicking, but when you refer to the game statistics, try not to say so and so scored "like" 28 points. If you know that's what he scored, just say he scored 28 pts.

I tried saying 5 and 4 at the same time it came out wrong haha, don't worry about criticism I need all the help I can get tmac. And I completely agree when I said he averaged like 20 points I should have something along the lines off he's averaging around 20 points, better words to use lol

Another piece of constructive criticism ... try avoid very general terms like "great" ... it doesnt tell an audience much if this was "great", and that was "great" ... try to use different adjectives that are more descriptive

Definitely thanks for the advice was even thinking about that, makes a lot of sense though rather than repeating fantastic so many times, expanding my vocabulary is a must.
