What I mean is, since I can't see that good, and don't know what it's like to do live action, that's the reason I'm able to look at nothing and do exciting pbp, where as he's visual, he knows what it's supposed to look like as he's doing real pbp, so when he's recording, he can't just "do it." It really could be that simple, look at Kevin Harlin, Jon Miller, Garry Thorn, what do they all have in common? good "on demand voice actors." Consiquently, all good in their respective video games.
I would be interested to find out what context the companies provide when they record. Do they provide visuals of actual plays? Do they all record lines together so they feed off of each others energy? There is a lot that we don't know about the process. Maybe it comes down to personality. Being an Orioles fan, I love listening to Gary Thorne. He's not the most accurate PBP guy but he has personality and provides entertainment. Point being, it's possible different personalities translate different results. Matt tends to have a more laid back personality.

But until we know the details of how they do the recording sessions it's impossible to accurately come to a conclusion.
