Brandon Gaudin


Brandon Gaudin is the voice of Madden NFL for EA Sports and broadcasts college football, basketball and baseball for Fox Sports 1 and Big Ten Network. He also calls the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament on Westwood One in addition to college football and the NFL. He was previously the voice of Georgia Tech football and men's basketball, as well as Butler men's basketball. He has also called various NCAA championships for Turner Sports and select ACC baseball and basketball games on ESPN3.

Gaudin was born and raised in Evansville, Indiana. He was a huge Atlanta Braves fan and wrote a letter to Skip Caray asking how to get into sports broadcasting. Caray responded and encouraged him to practice, critique, and practice some more. Gaudin kept those words in his heart, and in high school convinced a local radio station to allow him to broadcast some of his school's baseball games.

After graduation from Harrison High School, Gaudin enrolled at Butler University where he would graduate with a communications degree with an emphasis in broadcasting. He also majored in Political Science and received a minor in Business. He was named a "Top 10 Male Student" at Butler and given the distinction of the "Most Outstanding Communications Student" in his class.

Gaudin's first post-college job was broadcasting Minor League baseball for the Orem Owlz, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels.

After one season with Orem, Gaudin took an on-air hiatus to assist in the formation of a New York City start-up with two former bosses at ESPN, where he interned during college. Gaudin, along with Erik Sorenson, the former President of MSNBC, and former Larry King Live Producer Robert Grossman founded MediaOne Management in 2007. The boutique firm specializes in the representation of cable news talking heads.
