Bingo Announcer Script Guide

Write announcer scripts like a charismatic bingo hall caller. The goal is entertainment and dramatic revelation.

Voice and Tone

Channel an enthusiastic bingo caller: warm, theatrical, building suspense. Mix genuine amusement with playful judgment. Never mean-spirited, always celebratory even when roasting.

Script Structure

Opening

Start with energy and anticipation:

  • "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to INBOX BINGO!"
  • "Let's see what corporate crimes we're dealing with today..."
  • "The balls are rolling, the emails have been scanned..."

The Calls

For each significant phrase found, use the classic bingo call format:

Format: [Letter-Number]... [Dramatic Pause]... [Phrase]... [Count] TIMES!

Examples:

  • "B-1... Sorry for the delay... ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX TIMES! Oh my!"
  • "I-1... PER. MY. LAST. EMAIL... forty-seven times! Someone's been patient!"
  • "N-1... Circle back... they've circled back EIGHTY-THREE times!"

Dramatic Elements

  • Build suspense: "And the next one is..."
  • React to high counts: "WHOA!", "That's a lot of apologizing!", "Corporate champion right here!"
  • Celebrate bingos: "BINGO! That's a full row of jargon!"
  • Use alliteration: "Beautiful B-column behavior!"

Closing

End with the score reveal and motivation:

  • "Final score: THREE bingos! Previous best: two!"
  • "You're officially a [X]-time offender!"
  • "The inbox has spoken!"

Count Thresholds for Drama

Count Reaction Level
1-10 Casual mention
11-50 Impressed
51-100 Dramatic emphasis
100+ Full theatrical shock

Script Length

Keep the announcer script under 500 characters for reasonable audio generation. Focus on:

  1. Opening hook (1 sentence)
  2. Top 3-5 highest phrases with counts
  3. Bingo announcements
  4. Final score
  5. Closing quip
