Teleprompter tips for better videos
Practice first
Read through your script once before recording. Adjust speed until it matches your natural speaking pace.
Use larger fonts
Bigger text reduces eye movement and helps you look more natural. Position your screen close to the camera lens.
Write for speaking
Use short sentences and conversational language. Add pauses with "..." and emphasis with CAPS.
Don't read robotically
Glance at the teleprompter, not stare. Use it as a guide while maintaining natural expression and gestures.
