AGDQ 2019 Panels: Speedrunning Commentary: Best Practices for Commentary in Twitch and GDQ Streams
75Welcome to AGDQ 2019's edition of panels! Attendees from AGDQ came together to talk about various subjects related to speedrunning in front of fellow attendees, and were recorded so viewers at home could watch!
Commentary is an integral part of streaming speedruns both on individual Twitch channels and during GDQ runs. Commentary has roots in traditional sports broadcasting and has proliferated in recent years to online video game livestreaming and esports casting. As critical as commentary is in streaming, there has been little discussion about commentary practices in speedrunning and GDQ runs. This panel discusses the best practices for speedrunning commentary from recent esports commentary research and personal experiences.
