The successful candidate will bring a polished on-air presence, strong technical awareness of live production environments, and the ability to communicate clearly and confidently to large stadium audiences.

• Experience working in live broadcast environments, with an understanding of timing, cues, and coordination with production teams

• Strong vocal delivery, projection, diction, and microphone technique

• Ability to deliver scripted reads with clarity and professionalism, while confidently handling unscripted, real-time game updates

• Familiarity with broadcast-style pacing, tone control, and audience engagement

• Knowledge of the Canadian Football League and the Saskatchewan Roughriders

• Ability to maintain composure, accuracy, and professionalism in a fast-paced, high-pressure live sports environment

Applicants are asked to submit:

• A current resume highlighting broadcast training and/or relevant sports media experience

• A brief written description outlining your announcing style, approach, and motivation for the role

• A maximum of three voice samples demonstrating your delivery (total running time not to exceed three minutes). Samples may include play-by-play, public address style reads, promotional copy, or live-event announcing clips.
