A teleprompter is a device that displays a scrolling script in front of the camera lens. It allows on-camera talent to read text while maintaining direct eye contact with the audience, giving the impression of speaking naturally.
Teleprompters boost delivery confidence and pacing, especially in scripted content like news, interviews, product explainers, or presentations. They reduce mistakes and allow consistent messaging without heavy memorization.
Use teleprompters in studio setups or with mobile apps for remote shoots. Rehearse for natural pacing and adjust scrolling speed to match speaker cadence.
Keep text concise – Write in short, natural sentences that are easy to read aloud.
Match scroll speed to delivery – Adjust pacing so presenters can read comfortably and naturally.
Rehearse with talent – Test timing and flow in advance to avoid on-camera stumbles.
