How To Not Sound Like A Robot On A Teleprompter
Let's talk about something a lot of us ponder over—teleprompters. Do we love them, hate them, or just not want to mess with them at all? Well, as someone who’s spent years in front of the camera, here’s my take.
Teleprompters can be both a friend and a foe. They're fantastic when you're super keen on hitting all your key points, like when you’re talking about a new product or service. But, and it’s a big but, they can make you sound robotic. And that's a no-go if your aim is to connect deeply with your audience. Trust me, people want the vibrant, human you—not a monotone reader.
My advice? Ditch the prompter when you can. Jot down a few key bullet points and speak from the heart. Your authenticity will shine through, and that's what engages people. But if you find yourself needing that safety net of a teleprompter, practice until your reading voice sounds as lively as your speaking one.
In this 5 minute episode you’ll learn:
Tips on how to effectively use a teleprompter
The importance of using bullet points to guide your video presentations
The situations where using a teleprompter might be beneficial
