That way talent and operator will have the time to get in synch. If your talent has never worked with a prompter before try to arrange some rehearsal time with the prompter before the shoot. That way they can keep the eye-line directly in front of the lens.ħ. Generally this will be in the center of the glass, and not at the top. In order to help do this, the teleprompter operator will show what place they are putting their cue point to keep pace with the speaker. When you're using a camera mounted prompter, you'll want your talent to maintain eye contact with the lens, which is just behind the glass. The camera really tones down the energy level, so it's usually best to be a little more upbeat and positive than may feel natural. Have good energy! Granted there may be some subject matters that call for a more subdued tone, in general more energy is the best policy, especially when you one is delivering the script on camera. This way the prompter gives support and allows the speaker to feel confident.ĥ. Instead of having to follow it word for word. This will allow them to use the teleprompter as a safety net The more familiar your talent is with your script, the more naturally they're going to come across. Maintaining a natural conversational tone really helps the audience or viewer.Ĥ. Or, If you need the font size changed, or something phonetically spelled or abbreviated, or you feel like the scrolling is too fast or too slow, let the teleprompter technician know. They can edit the text right there on their laptop. Speak up! If there is anything that they or you would like to change in the copy let the prompter operator know. They should relax, speak at the pace they normally would and the technician will keep up.Ģ. That way the talent never needs to think about their pacing. The teleprompter operator's job is to keep pace with the speaker.
