I don't get how many GCA callers have NO practice time, but spend lots and lots of time writing choreo, and using it, not knowing if it works and not knowing how to cue or resolve by sight, but there ya go.
The biggest sign of inexperience IMHO is their delivery: are they giving the calls clearly, well articulated, with confidence and well-timed? Do we hear enthusiasm or fear in their voice? I can hear when they're looking into their notes and when they're looking at the floor. I prefer sucky choreo energetically delivered over great choreo whispered in fear.
If we could add another few hours to the GCA caller school, I'd allocate a larger block of time to spiffing up vocal delivery, even if it's just how to fake confidence. :-)
