Tips for Entry

Work on your high school or college radio station to obtain experience.

Additionally, the Association for Women in Sports Media offers an internship program that has placed nearly 200 female college students interested in sports media careers in paid summer internships.

Make a demo recording of your work as a sports announcer and submit it to sports teams.

The National Association of Sports Public Announcers offers its members the Announcers' Critique and Evaluation Service, https://naspaa.net/?p=Aces. This is a great way to assess your skill level and receive suggestions to improve your delivery (tone, pitch, pace, etc.).
