He's through, he's past the last man, he shoots — oh, that is absolutely magnificent!
How it reads
Play-by-Play runs faster than any other voice here and is designed to lose composure on cue. Exclamation marks are load-bearing: the voice adds volume, pitch and a slight break to anything that ends in one.
Because it is tuned for live energy, it tolerates run-on sentences better than the measured voices — it simply speeds up.
Pair it with fast cuts. The delivery is built to land on a frame.

Writing for it
Let sentences run
This voice holds its shape across longer clauses, so full sentences read better than clipped fragments.
Punctuate for the pause
A full stop gives a longer gap than a comma, an ellipsis longer still. Use them to place the beat.
Give it clean space
A smooth voice with little texture needs headroom. Duck the music under it rather than pushing the level.
