chris del sordo
Hey, Thanks for stopping in!
Welcome to the online hub of Big-Game Announcer, Chris Del Sordo. Chris has been honing his craft as both a play-by-play and public address voice for nearly two decades now.
In his 16 years calling play-by-play, Chris has lent his voice to nearly every moment that sports has to offer: 1,000-point scorers, buzzer-beaters, clutch game-winning drives, and even a few season-ending collapses. His call at the end of Wilkes' University basketball's 2016 upset against nationally-ranked Hope College earned ESPN Radio's call of the night.
For fans inside the arena, Chris also brings 17 years of Public Address Experience to the microphone, where he combines one of the industry's crispest voices with unparalleled passion and excitement! He is entering his 8th year with ESPN's TBT: The Basketball Tournament, and 7th as the TBT Championship Weekend/33-point shootout Announcer.
AVAILABLE FOR HIRE FOR BOTH PLAY-BY-PLAY + PUBLIC ADDRESS IN 9 DIFFERENT SPORTS:
Basketball, Baseball, Football, Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, Swimming/Diving, + Volleyball
