⚠️ I am not actively seeking freelance opportunities at this time. In order to focus on school, my work in collegiate esports, and various projects as a content creator, I've stepped aside from esports and only help with a handful of gigs each quarter. Please reach out over Twitter or Discord if you have any questions.
ABOUT ME:
My name is Bryce, I am 21 years old and I live in Texas.
I am currently a college student, and I do esports broadcast production in my free time.
I have an extreme attention to detail; I like to go the extra mile to help create a pleasant viewing experience.
I am deeply invested in the games and communities I work with. For example, I sometimes publish recordings of my VALORANT observing to YouTube for those involved in the casting scene to practice casting off of.
Some of my skills include...
💻 Directing: I have extensive knowledge and experience directing and creating completely remote, complex, high-quality esports broadcasts using software like OBS Studio.
🎥 Observing: I have gained hundreds of hours of experience as an in-game observer in highly competitive games such as VALORANT and Fortnite. I have also observed games with some of the top VALORANT players in North America, but now work mostly in the Tier 2 and collegiate scenes.
📺 "IRL" broadcast experience: I have some previous experience operating broadcast cameras in various live production environments, including operating Ross Video & Blackmagic Design video production switchers.

As a caster and broadcast host, this was my first VALORANT broadcast! My previous experience doing YouTube and Twitch came in handy and despite a few mistakes during the first few rounds, my casting went smooth and my hosting was on-point, clear, and direct to viewers.
As the technical director, I created all graphics shown during the broadcast and controlled the entire flow of the 2-hour cast. I worked closely with my co-caster and our backstage hand to conduct interviews after the match. As an observer, I solo-observed both maps played during the broadcast.
