I may tone down the volume a tad if I'm doing a 9/10 regular season game but otherwise, my called strike 3 mechanic is the same. I've actually found that after having umpires who are generally less experienced, less vocal and/or potted plants, the kids are excited to see you walk on the field again to do one of their games. Then like to see someone w/ a showing an effort and an interest in their game and they percieve your normal mechanics as just that. I do agree though w/ Johnny not so good I'll be even less vocal and the mechanic will be a bit smaller though.
