How To Use A Teleprompter

Teleprompter Training DVD - Learn How To Properly Use A Teleprompter

What is a teleprompter -- Define Teleprompter

A teleprompter is a device that when installed in front of a camera lens reflects computer generated text. Because the camera focuses past the teleprompter glass in front of its’ lens the text is invisible to the camera, but visible to the talent. This enables the talent to speak without notes and appear to have memorized the remarks.

Teleprompter Tips:

1. Rehearse before the time the teleprompter videotaping is scheduled. Save time, save money in video production costs.

2. When rehearsing speak the words out-loud. Spoken words sound differently then written text reads. It’s also a good time to check any difficult pronunciations.

3. On the day of the video shoot rehearse with the teleprompter operator while the Director of Videography finalizes the lighting.

4. Remember that it’s you that dictates the pace of the teleprompter. The prompter operator will vary the speed of the teleprompter to match your speed.

5. Be natural. Remember to use pauses, inflections and hand movements.
