The voice. The live moment.

International competition announcing, official-practice communication and live audience interaction—each with a distinct role in the event experience.

PREPARE

Know the names. Know the schedule.

My preparation has included checking athletes’ English names and nationalities, drafting official-practice scripts and preparing event previews.

COMMUNICATE

Keep information clear.

My assignments span competition announcements, official-practice communication and bilingual schedule updates when arrangements change.

CONNECT

Work with the whole venue.

For live MC assignments, I work with co-hosts and technical teams on timing, segment transitions and audience interaction.

These describe my working practice across assignments; the event list identifies the role held at each competition. Announcing is distinct from broadcast commentary.
