I have been a fan of Scott Heaton for well over a decade, from the first time I watched and listened to him work a live event. Scott is not just a “public address announcer” or a “commentator.” He becomes your narrator, your tour guide that tells the story as the events unfold throughout the night. With over 25 years in the live entertainment business, I have seen the very clear and substantial difference that can be made when the right person is on the microphone. That person sets the tone at the beginning of the event and can influence the emotions of the audience throughout the night. A satisfied, well entertained audience actually can translate into more repeat customers, higher merchandise sales, and increased food/beverage sales. I have seen measurable results at our events when Scott Heaton is our person on the microphone. Real, measurable results.

When the doors open and the crowd comes in, Scott Heaton puts on the top hat and steps into the center of the ring for you. Having Scott on the microphone gives you the peace of mind to say, “Scott’s got that covered for us” so you can turn your attention to one of the other dozens of things on your mind during a live event production. In my opinion, Scott Heaton is one of the greatest voices in the business of live events. That applies to all types of live events, not just motorsports.

To Whom It May Concern:

As the President of Frontier Management Group and former Director of Operations for Clear Channel Entertainment – Motor Sports, it has been my pleasure to both manage and work along side of Scott Heaton for the past 10 years.

As a Live Event Announcer, Scott is among the best in the business. His ability to announce a multitude of different live events including, but not limited to Motor Sports, Sporting Events, Festivals, Airshows and contests, make him a rare commodity in the event world. That coupled with his ability to MC a banquet, host an auction or voice commercials make him one of the most sought after voices in the entertainment industry.

Scott has announced thousands of live events throughout his career and the quality of his work is evident in the lasting impact he has left on millions of fans throughout the world. He is multi-talented, multi-faceted and one of the hardest working people I know.

His ability to multi task, handle pressure, deal with life and death situations and wear a different hat in a different city each and every week is a testament to his talent and abilities. He handles all of his responsibilities with continued enthusiasm and extreme pride while constantly striving to learn more and grow as both an announcer and as a person.

Scott is a valued and vital part of my company. I am confident he will exceed any and all expectations you may have.

If you have any questions or would like and additional information, please give me a call at (630) 768-8431. Thank you for your time.

As the NorthWest’s #1 rated afternoon driver, and proud host of “The Freeway500″… Nobody has help us tear up those streets more, than working with “the monster voice” of Scott Heaton, and “The MonsterJam”…This event, alone, has packed our arena year after year, and brought us closer to our listener base (and their families) than almost any other major nationally touring run. For the last decade I have had the pleasure of working with Scott doing live-remote broadcasts and pre-show on-dirt announcements; So i have had the unique oppurtunity to have been on the floor watching this incredible talent at work. He is SOLID, has the momentum to keep the “wheels turning”, has massive pipes, and is a ROAD-HOUND. (And one heck of a nice guy, too!) He is also great with his guests and drivers and knows how to pump a crowd while “calling the shots” off-mike over the technical/operations radios.
We have also worked together in the production booth, and I find his talents to be equally demonstrated there; clean-cut, respectable, reliable, honest & very hard-working. He does not stop until every fan is left standing~ I recommend Scott for your team, race, voice-over, or production needs.

I would like to thank RoadNoise Entertainment for coming to our event. We have had many announcers at our event and none have compared to Scott’s knowledge and professionalism. Our fans truly enjoyed the experience and really got into the races. Scott went over and above with crowd interaction and with his ability to shoot from the hip Scott really is one of the best. I would without a doubt recommend RoadNoise Entertainment to anyone that needs a top notch Live Event Emcee. He will be asked back to emcee our event as long as he is willing. Thank you again for making our Race one to remember.

Scott,
This is Bill Wilson from Darlington Dragway. I hope all is well with you. I have just been notified by IHRA that we do not have an announcer for our Bracket Finals this year and was just curious if you had an opening in your schedule October 9-11. I’m sure you are busy but I thought I would ask as you did an outstanding job last year. I am sorry to be asking you on such short notice. Anyway, if you even still do this type of work and are interested, can you e mail me back or give me a call please.
Thanks.

Since 1997, I’ve worked with announcer, Scott Heaton. He has great abilities to provide exciting and factual information for various motor sports. His adaptability also allows him to work well outside of motocross, BMX, freestyle motocross and monster trucks by providing a smooth voice as a banquet emcee and/or commercial voice-overs. Scott’s commitment to provide family-friendly entertainment makes him a mainstay of great value.

To Whom It May Concern: 

                Watching Scott Heaton become one of the best, if not the best live event announcer in the country, has been quite a treat.  To be sure, that’s not what he was 15 or 16 years ago, when I decided to take a chance on a young man who was “just coming into his own”, as I was told by those who had seen him in action.

                Perhaps the greatest strength in this Scott’s arsenal has become his ability to sit down prior to an event, go over perhaps a couple of dozen key elements of a show, including not just the sponsors, the elements of the show, and where to go when nobody else knows, but his ability to remember names.  Sounds funny, but what a great strength for anyone to have, especially your announcer.  His ability to feel which sponsor needs the most “hits” after just a five or ten minute pre-event crash course, as well as his tremendous ability to grab the timely, on-track, live interviews, with the superstar of the moment, is uncanny.

                After watching this ultimate professional strengthen his voice, his timing, and his ability to keep the crowd “tuned in”, was never more obvious than at the Monster Jam World Finals of 2005, in Las Vegas, Nevada.  To be sure, editing can save a lost visual highlight, but Scott’s ability to “manage” the pressure that comes with interviewing a young monster truck driver who may have won his first event ever, knowing no re-take will capture the same enthusiasm as the original take, shows just how far he’s come, how incredibly talented he has become. 

                Now, if merchandising is a vital part of your event profitability, and helping drive the energy level through the roof with every checkered flag, pennant, shirt, hat or DVD purchased adds more black to the bottom line, there’s nobody better.  Scott Heaton wasn’t the greatest announcer in the country 15 or 16 years ago, but I can assure you without the slightest hesitation, that today, with several hundred events under his belt since then, if you have the opportunity to hire this brilliant, superstar of an announcer, don’t pass up the opportunity.  He’s a big leaguer in every sense of the word today, and you can consider yourself extremely  fortunate to have the opportunity to take advantage of his incredible skills. 

                If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (209) 608-4380.  It would be my pleasure to help insure the success of your event, by making sure you hire Mr. Scott Heaton. 

Sincerely, 

John Shipman

Dear Scott

As I enter my 27th year of driving monster trucks in 2010, I will again look forward to working with you. One of my favorite moments at the shows we do together has to be your high energy presentation during intros capped off with your patented “ARE…YOU….READY!!!” blasting through the PA system, as you have the fans whipped into a frenzy with all of them knowing this event is going to be something special. At any live event a announcer plays such an imporatnt role, and you handle that role as well as anyone in the business. You are outstanding at keeping the race fans informed and entertained, as well doing a first rate job of thanking all the event and competitors sponsors, and most important, helping to remind us all of the great country we live in and those who keep us safe. I would also like to say that as a independant truck owner competing in a industry that often has the house having a stacked deck, you help level the playing field with your call it as you see it announcing.
You have proven yourself as one of the very best announcers at whatever live event your working and I wish you continued success my friend.

Hello,
I have been involved in monster truck racing for almost 20 years. Through these years I have seen alot of people come and go. Scott is one of the people that has stood the test of time and that is for a reason. He is one of the top announcers out there. As a driver, he is very easy to work with! Listening to him as a fan, he is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining!! It is a honor to work with him and a bigger honor to say he is my friend !!!

sincerely yours,

Dear Scott: 

As you have become a part of our extended family over the years of Pro-Arena Truck racing.  It comes with deep appreciation that we acknowledge how grateful the Pro-Arena Truck family appreciates you.  Scott you are one and the only announcers that knows the sport.  Like we mentioned you have become part of the family.  As part of a family you know each and every individual by name, truck and you are the one announcer that doesn’t forget the support system in the audience of those Pro-Arena Truck racers (the wives & kids).  You always remember everyone’s bios.  We have learned to ask when registering/checking in at the races we always ask who is announcing.  When they say it’s Scott Heaton, I know then I don’t have to fully complete the Registration form/Bio Sheet.  Only because Scott you already know the truck, the driver and its sponsors.  You know each racers bio without even looking at it.  You have given each driver there own nickname that has stuck with them throughout the years of racing.  Everyone knows who “Mr. Clean” is.  You gave him that nickname and it has stuck.  It has been an honor to work with you and become one of your friends and or extended family.  We wish you well in the years to come.

To whom it may concern,

USACi had the privilege of working with Scott Heaton of RoadNoise Entertainment during the Kumho Tire Street Warriorz Series during the mid 2000’s. During four summers we toured the nation’s drag strips with a street racing program that included a sponsors midway, stage with entertainment, car show, and street party. Throughout the events Scott was always a key element in bringing the fun to the event. Scott’s ability to keep the fun rolling with a constant barrage of racing insight, drama building, and excited commentary helped to keep the crowds excited. His creative talents are top notch and his enthusiasm and wit kept the events feeling “fresh”. The sponsors of the series, from the national level to the local, were always impressed with Scott’s ability to deliver more than what they had been promised. Scott’s outgoing and engaging personality made him a pleasure to work with and be around. Even before and after the events Scott was never afraid to get his hands dirty. Scott helped with venue set up and tear down, preparing competitor pit areas, setting up sponsor booths, and generally lent a hand with anything that needed done rather than just the announcing. Scott’s work ethic is one that is rarely found today. Our crew sincerely enjoyed working with RoadNoise Entertainment, and we hope to be able to do so again in the future.

Feel free to contact us with any questions.
Thank you for your time.

I have been involved with motorsports for my entire life. Whether it was pulling trucks at local fairs or racing snocross in the north, to my career of monster truck racing.. For ten years now I have been involved in alot of monster truck events and will say first hand that the announcer makes the show. Scott is amazing to be around during and outside of the events. He has the ability to grab a crowd early on in a show and hold them there the whole time. It is a pleasure to work with Scott and an honor to hear him on the mic. Its simple, he makes an event that much better!!!!
