TESTIMONIALS:

“I had the pleasure of working with Ken during the inaugural Broadway Block Party event at Bridgestone Arena and he did a stellar job! Sometimes it can be challenging coming into a brand-new event without experience to base things off of, but Ken did a phenomenal job at setting the precedent for all future events to come! He was prepared and articulate on the microphone and showed up to the job early with a list of documents and notes to make sure he was as prepared as possible. He was a pleasure to work with and can’t recommend him enough!”

Teri Johnson – Game Producer for the Nashville Predators

“While working The 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama, I had the opportunity to work with Ken as a venue producer on both Racquetball and Squash events. In addition to his great PA voice, Ken also brought a high degree of professionalism, a collaborative approach, and could easily adapt to changes and carry them out seamlessly.”

Janna HughesDirector of Marketing, Collegiate Events | On Location

“Ken Corum has worked with USA Volleyball for many years as a Finals Announcer at our National Championships. He has a great energy and is very good at getting the crowd engaged and excited at the finals. In addition, he is always willing to go above and beyond and help out whenever necessary. We value Ken as a part of our Championship Events crew and would recommend him for any announcer needs.”

Kristy CoxVenue Director – LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Former Director of EventsUSA Volleyball

“It is with great pleasure that we express our highest commendation for Ken Corum’s exceptional service and professional relationship with our organization. For over a decade, Ken has been the distinguished “voice” of the NCVF Championships, consistently delivering outstanding performances. His dedication and remarkable talent are complemented by his flexibility, engagement, and passion for our event and the sport. Ken’s unwavering commitment and professionalism have significantly contributed to the success of our championships. His presence at the microphone has become an integral part of our event, and we cannot envision it without him. We wholeheartedly recommend Ken Corum for his unparalleled skills and devotion to his craft.”

Doug HintonTournament Director

National Collegiate Volleyball Federation National Championships

“Ken was outstanding as the announcer for the George Brett 4v4 Volleyball Showdown. He managed the flow of the day seamlessly, kept the crowd engaged, and brought great energy to every match. His professionalism and deep knowledge of the game and players really came through, elevating the experience for the fans. I would absolutely use him again for future events.”

Lance Windholz – Owner – Shawnee Mission Beach Volleyball

“I loved being able to work with Dr. Corum at our championships. Ken’s dedication to the craft of public address announcing is very refreshing. With so many moving parts at a championships event, it is a great relief in knowing your public address announcer is going to be professional and dependable! Knowing that your announcer will not veer too far off script and say something they shouldn’t. This is what we got in Ken. Not only was he dependable to be where he needed to be, when he needed to be, I believe he goes above in beyond expectations to make the event a positive memory for the participants.”
