Lunchbox has auditioned to become the in-game announcer for Nashville’s minor league baseball team, the Nashville Sounds.
He previously auditioned for the city’s MLS soccer team but did not get the job after being asked to submit videos and a resume, only to be told the position was filled internally. This time, he said it is a different sport with different ownership. He found the job posting online and read through the responsibilities. The role includes handling in-game action such as pre-game ceremonies, starting lineups, player introductions, inning break activations, and other scripted elements. The announcer must be able to adapt quickly to live game situations, follow direction from a supervisor, pronounce names from multiple cultures and languages, and address crowds of more than 10,000 people. The job also requires strong knowledge of baseball and the ability to work in a fast-paced team environment.
Lunchbox then played his audition tape. His first submission featured a starting lineup introduction complete with stadium-style sound effects and music underneath. The group told him it sounded strong and professional, though they suggested he might also consider submitting a raw version without added production in case the team prefers something unedited. He also shared a promotional in-game segment tossing to a crowd activity and a bullpen pitching change read sponsored by a brand. The reactions in the room were positive, with encouragement that he sounded natural and fit for the role.
The conversation then shifted to pronunciation. Since the job description emphasized correctly pronouncing names from different backgrounds, Bobby pulled up members of the 2026 pitching staff for the Nashville Sounds and had Lunchbox read them aloud. He successfully pronounced several names, though he stumbled on a few at first glance. After corrections, he said that if hired, he would confirm pronunciations with players beforehand to ensure accuracy.
When asked when he expects to hear back, Lunchbox said the posting does not list a closing date and simply says to apply now. He acknowledged the job would involve a heavy workload with many games throughout the season but said he is not afraid of the work, noting that the role would only require him to announce home games.
He said he will provide an update once he hears anything about the position.
