WHY USE A TELEPROMPTER
The teleprompter demands that you've done your homework in Pre-production, but it will help streamline your production time, and with practice, will help you look like a pro onscreen.:
  • It will organize your thoughts
  • It will help PACE your delivery, and 
  • It will minimize the need for "do overs" from mistakes

TIPS
  • Speak in a LIVELY voice!
  • Read near the TOP of the teleprompter screen so your eyes appear to be looking at the camera
  • Keep the font BIG so your eyes don't have to move too much from side to side!
  • Breathe through your teeth - SMILE! Don't let them see your fear!
