[someone] works as a/an [adjective] announcer
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often confuse "announcer" with "announcement". "Announcer" is the person who speaks, while "announcement" is the message they say. For example, "The announcer made an announcement" is correct, not "The announcement made an announcer." Learners may also say "speaker" when they mean the job title; "announcer" is more specific for radio, TV, or sports events.

person who makes official announcements
A person who tells important information to many people at one time, for example at a station, airport, or ceremony.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
the announcer [verb] [information] to the crowd
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners may use "announcer" when "announcement" or "message" is needed: "I heard an announcer" is wrong if you only mean you heard the words; say "I heard an announcement." They may also overuse this sense in places where English speakers instead say "voice" or simply "announcement" (e.g., "the voice on the loudspeaker" rather than "the announcer" at some stations).
