25 WORST TELEPROMPTER MISTAKES (2019)




What are the biggest mistakes people make when purchasing a teleprompter?

 1.  Buying one that’s not portable. You can have a large, pro level setup such
     as this one and it will still be extremely portable and fast to setup.
 2.  Buying one that’s too portable. As in: itty bitty and impossible to read
     from. It’s tempting to purchase a cheap gadget, and many of them are really
     cute! But I just want something that works. I don’t want to be squinting to
     see a tiny little cell phone when I record my lines.
 3.  Buying a teleprompter that tips over. A lot of the bigger ones have this
     problem. Which is why I have a separate laptop stand for my 32″ display
     (purchased inexpensively on Amazon), and a separate tripod for my heavy
     Canon EOS-1DX.
 4.  Buying one that only works with iPad. The biggest problem with iPad is the
     ability to easily import your scripts into it. I don’t like to mess with
     that–too much work when I just want to get setup with my recording quickly.
 5.  Buying a teleprompter with cheap glass. Not all beamsplitter glass is
     created equal. Some will tint your recording or reflect your text with a
     double image.
 6.  Not having a dedicated studio space. Recording with a bad background will
     make your videos look cheap. Setup of a space usually takes a lot longer
     than simply setting up a teleprompter.
 7.  Using a device that’s too small. Big glass means you can use a big display,
     allowing a big font you can read effortlessly across the room. When your
     camera sits further away you can capture more of your body on camera, and
     your eyes can read the text without noticeably moving.
 8.  Reading off your teleprompter word-for-word. It’s pretty obvious, and you
     just want to sound natural. Use your teleprompter more as you would cue
     cards, I often just have bullet points to remind me of everything I want to
     talk about.
 9.  Not recording in 4k. Youtube seems to reward 4k videos with better
     rankings, and it looks a lot better on bigger displays such as monitors and
     TVs. You run the risk of your videos looking like crap when your
     competitors post similar videos to yours in a higher resolution.
 10. Not recording in 60fps. If you’re not using slow motion, no big deal.
     Personally, I love using slow motion in my videos.
 11. Bad sound quality. Background sound can kill a video. I setup my studio in
     a quiet space to avoid the noise pollution I have at work. I also mute my
     devices to ensure I’m not interrupted halfway through a scene by beeps and
     bloops.
 12. Eyes darting back and forth. Stand far enough away that you can read
     without being “detected”
 13. Wasting time over rehearsing. Don’t waste time rehearsing your lines.
     Unless you’re giving a political speech or news broadcast, your
     teleprompter should be there to remind you of what to say. You don’t need
     to rehearse too much.
 14. Bad voice. Use your voice as  you would an instrument. Using a monotone is
     like hitting the same note on a piano over and over. Speak with emotion,
     using highs and lows, and…pauses.
 15. Don’t be boring. Use action words, different camera angles, make eye
     contact. Use big body language and active facial expressions. Do whatever
     it takes to be both informative and entertaining to your audience.
 16. Changing your look too much. An advantage to keeping your overall look
     similar to the past is that you can keep reusing your past footage, mixing
     it with your new footage. You’re establishing a brand identity.
 17. Boring sets. Use props to keep your audience entertained. I spend a lot of
     time surfing Amazon for awesome outfits and sweet ass things no one has
     seen before. Some of my favorites are LED clothes, crazy wigs, and a
     trampoline.
 18. Bad grooming and style. It took a lot of experimentation to find my best
     look, and it’s still evolving. Working on your personal style with hair and
     clothing will ensure you look your best.
 19. Low batteries. Not having all devices charged or insufficient memory
     available on your recording device can stop you dead in your tracks. A lot
     of frustration has been caused in the past when I wasn’t ready with my
     recording devices and they stopped working halfway through a shot. I make
     sure my gimbal, drones, phones, and DSLR are all ready to go the night
     before a big shoot. My cameraman double checks all the devices just to be
     sure, an hour or more before we shoot.
 20. Bad device settings. Make sure your devices are set properly. I double
     check that everything is set to 4k resolution and my light balance settings
     are set correctly for a black background to avoid editing nightmares.
 21. Bad lighting. When filming outside, a bright day can ruin your videos. My
     best shots are during twilight, where the lighting is indirect and vibrant
     colors and lights stand out. When filming inside, having an equal light
     balance from both sides so that half my face isn’t shrouded in shadow, and
     there won’t be distracting shadows being cast by every device in the video.
     Some shadows can be a good thing, but an overpowering light source such as
     daylight from a window can throw your whole shot off.
 22. Listening to paid reviews about teleprompter products. I see so many videos
     on YouTube which have been obviously sponsored by manufacturers. So many of
     the videos I’ve seen about teleprompter products are completely contrary to
     my actual real-life experience using a teleprompter. I wonder if any of
     them actually use a teleprompter in their everyday recordings, or if they
     just used one in that one single video to review it.
 23. Bad editing skills. Put the purpose of your video first, then your
     introduction, then the meat of your video–the content. Don’t let scenes
     drag on and on with no purpose. Keep it tight, entertaining, light, and
     informative. Don’t use cheesy transitions and effects unless you’re trying
     to be cheesy and funny.
 24. Loud background music. When you’re talking in a video, keep the music
     minimal to maximize the voice clarity. You can bring the volume back up
     between spoken scenes.
 25. Hire talent. A video can be a lot more engaging by adding additional
     talent. Find talent who supports your vision and supplements your style.




13 BEST TELEPROMPTER TIPS TO STREAMLINE YOUR VIDEOS

Today, I’m going to tell you exactly how to avoid painful mistakes when
teleprompting and deliver your lines flawlessly.

Here are some of the best questions I’ve been asked by my subscribers and
clients:

How can I master a teleprompter?

Teleprompters have two different uses: giving speeches and recording videos.
When recording videos, the camera will go behind glass, as seen here, and there
will be a black shroud blacking off the mirror side to prevent reflections into
the camera lens.

A teleprompter allows you to write a detailed script ahead of time and then
execute it on location. Planning ahead will give you time to thoroughly think
through all the very best ideas and props you have put into your video.

In addition, because you’ll be nailing your lines, there will be a lot less
useless footage to waste your time  later when you go to edit it.

When delivering speeches, lectures, or advertisements, the talent will often
expect their script to already be written for them, for example in an
advertisement with celebrity you don’t want to waste precious time, which you’re
paying a pretty penny for. It insures that the masterminds funding the
advertisement or event will get their money’s worth: in other words, their
information will be quickly and accurately presented.

Other speech applications include news broadcasts and politics, where a
teleprompter gives them something to fall back on (like a security blanket) if
they’re forgetting their lines or information.

A teleprompter can be extremely helpful when going live, and you don’t want to
make mistakes or forget crucial information.

Do I really need a shroud to black off the camera side?

Yes, but if you’re a professional you can paint your ceiling black, or even just
stretch and staple a black cloth to the ceiling.

How does teleprompter glass compare with a standard two way mirror?

A teleprompter mirror, also known as beamsplitter glass, is 7x more transparent
and has an anti-reflective backside to prevent a double image.

What is the purpose of the antireflective backside of the glass?

To prevent a double image off the backside of the glass, also known as
“ghosting”

Advantages of using a black backdrop vs a green backdrop?

The most popular backdrops are white, which is all the rage right now, grey,
black, and chromakey (green). White is ideal for an informational video
especially if you’re embedding them into a website with white background.

Why do you use crazy humor in your videos?

It’s known as a pattern interrupt. The attention span of a typical person is
only a few seconds, which is why you’ll want to throw in a lot of humor to keep
people watching. It’s also known as entertainment, which is why a ton of people
watch videos in general instead of getting their content from articles. Through
humor, I have increased retention time from about 1 minute, which is typical, to
18 minutes and beyond, depending on the length of the video.

What are some other things you can use in your speeches or videos?

Some of my favorite “b roll footage” are: dance, stories, workout, martial arts,
& musical instruments. I spend many hours brainstorming and planning with my
cameraman, who takes our ideas and turns them into my scripts.

How can I flip display to a mirror image?

Use a flipped teleprompter TV, HDMI MirrorBox, Chrome Plugins (Flip This, Dark
Reader to make websites show white text on black background, UltraMon software,
or CSS code to flip a website. Teleprompter software is also an option. More
details in my next sequel (hit subscribe now!)

What are the best ways to control a teleprompter?

There are a ton of different input devices on the market–just look on amazon. A
couple of my favorites are the Logitech Presenter Remote and a foot pedal

Can I use a teleprompter for music, guitar tabs, or lyrics?

We’ve had a lot of famous musicians order teleprompters so that they don’t
forget their lyrics or music. We’ve also had a lot of up-and-coming musicians
with home studios use them so they can maintain eye contact with their fans in
their videos. It gives them that one extra camera angle–eye contact–which is so
much more powerful than sliders, gimbals, or drones.

I’m going to show you an example using a popular website called Ultimate Guitar.

What would you recommend if I want to use it outside? Recording through it?

It depends on what you’re using it for. If you’re recording through it, use our
indoor glass and black off the backside with a shroud. If you’re delivering a
speech with no shroud you’ll definitely want a product called  outdoor
teleprompter glass, which is twice as reflective as a standard beamsplitter
mirror.

What does your studio space look like? Advantages of your setup?

I have two walls–a black backdrop for vibrant colors to stand out, and green
screen, which allows me to edit in any background. Gaffer tape allows me to hang
the paper without damaging the walls. I recently added a black backdrop to my
ceiling so I don’t need a shroud on the backside of the glass.

What gear do you use?

Two 32″ Samsung TVs, tv stands, presidential teleprompters with custom sized 18″
glass with rounded corners. I have them plugged into my laptop using a HDMI
splitter.

How do you write fast scripts?

I don’t use teleprompter software because it always seems to goof up my tempo
and ends up costing me a lot of time. I simply use Microsoft Word, because I can
easily add all the formatting such as different colors and bullet points.
Sometimes I will copy and paste my Word file into a HTML editor, if I want to
flip it using my web browser. The rest of the time, I simply display it on my
pre-flipped 32″ screens.

Between scenes, I audibly speak the subject matter or scene number so I can go
back later and quickly organize and label my video files before editing.

Photo booths are gorilla marketing to get more content for your videos.

Pick a spicy background! Don’t conform and use a simple white one, unless you
have to. Pick out something that really makes you pop.

I like black because it makes me look super vibrant.

Use the Halo Teleprompter to enhance the lighting in your space and add an extra
camera angle in to the mix.

By the way, mute your devices before recording! Save yourself a ton of time.

► Never used a ring light before?

It beautifies your face and makes your video less grainy by putting more light
in the shot!

Halo Teleprompter

Make sure your camera man/woman has your best interests. This is the number 1
most critical for me aside from the gear itself. It’s amazing to have someone at
the front line with you, battling til the end!

You are the super star and don’t forget it! Make a study of acting, which
clothing looks good, body language, humor, vocal tones, and more. There is
always a next level.

Go out of your comfort zone so you can level up. Otherwise you will always be
making the same BORING videos.

Every successful video that I enjoy has comedy in it. There are so many types of
humor – study this and you will have a gold mine of content to create in a whole
new way.

When you go in and edit your videos, don’t forget to use music and sound effects
to make it a more dynamic shot.



OUTDOOR TELEPROMPTER: WHICH GLASS TO USE OUTSIDE

That moment when you have a speech to give outside. & You need a teleprompter.
You definitely need to check this out before you use the wrong glass at the
wrong time. 😳

Imagine taking your typical teleprompter setup outside. Then, when you get to
the event and pull out your equipment, you realize you made a huge mistake. The
30R/70T teleprompter glass is too transparent!

This could be you:
😱 “OH NO!…. I cannot read the text!”
*Looks at audience…awkwardly…squinting…*

I hope this isn’t you!

If you are in a bind, I recommend covering up the back of the teleprompter glass
with a black felt, or anything black. At least this way, you can avoid being
super embarrassed! This will allow you to read the text. 👏 Crisis averted. For
now.

Except…

👎 The only pitfall with this is that you will not be able to see your audience
through the mirror.

If you are reading this before the day of your event, you are in luck! We have
the Outdoor Teleprompter Mirror in stock, ready to cut and ship immediately. We
also have overnight shipping available.

Pretty much every day we have a new client with a huge emergency. That is why we
are here! 😏 Ready to provide the ultimate teleprompter glass, super fast, for
your convenience.

The Outdoor Teleprompter Mirror is 70R/30T. On a sunny day, or in outdoor
conditions, the text is way easier to read. Bonus points for being able to see
the audience and connect with them! Some people even use a standard mirror. The
only issue with that is that you cannot see the audience as you read the
teleprompter.

Do NOT get caught with your pants down! I want you to smile, project your
confidence and work on delivering that speech like a pro.
