Tips to record better with a teleprompter

A teleprompter solves forgetting, but natural delivery comes from pace, a well-written script and a few short rehearsals.

Write the way you speak

Long sentences sound artificial when read. Split ideas, cut hard-to-pronounce words and mark pauses in the script.

If the speech feels rushed, reduce the speed. A slightly slower pace often sounds more confident on video.

The farther the camera is from the text, the more visible eye movement becomes. Keep the script as close to the lens as possible.

Small type makes reading harder and increases mistakes. Increase it until you can read without squinting or leaning toward the screen.

Before recording everything, test a short segment. Adjust speed, lighting and framing based on that test.

If a sentence comes out differently, continue. The goal is to keep the message clear, not to look like you memorized every word.
