STRIKE
STEEEEERIKE RIIIIIKE HIIIIIKE HAAAAH EEEEEAAAAHHH etc... As varied as the third strike mechanic (or more so). Authoritative voice tenor, as Rachel pointed out, is important. Do drill sergeants enunciate all words? No, and for the same reason.

"Eagle!!!!"
 For Strike, I'm a "Haah!" man, as if said by Metallica. Very gravelly. And regardless of how close the call, if anyone but batter and catcher hear my "ball" call, I'd be shocked.

Let's remember that we are announcing a fact, not triumphing over evil or celebrating a player's success.
