Ideal teleprompter speed

The best speed depends on the type of video, the complexity of the text and your natural speaking style.

Start between 110 and 150 wpm

This range usually works for explanations, classes and institutional videos. If the text has technical terms, reduce the speed.

Test before recording

Read 30 seconds out loud. If you stumble, the problem may be the script, not only the speed.

Use written pauses

Line breaks and short sentences help you breathe without losing your place.
