Ever wonder how Brian Williams or your local newscasters deliver long strings of information without looking at notes or stumbling? Teleprompters! Think our president can make those great speeches without a hitch? Nope... he uses a teleprompter.

I don't know why I waited so long, but I finally faced the truth and bought my own teleprompter. I have to say that it is incredibly empowering. I now can write out my video message in advance and deliver it without having to worry where I'm going with my talk, if I've left something out, or if I just started going way off topic. I can adjust the speed so that it seems comfortable and natural, and I can highlight sections so that my wife and I can both be on camera and look like we're as professional as newscasters. It's great!

Now I don't hesitate to write out a message that I want to deliver via video, load up the teleprompter, fire up the camera and get 'er done.

There are a lot of teleprompter options available, from using an iPhone or iPad, to dangling notes from your tripod, to good old fashioned cue cards. The thing I don't like about off-axis options like cue cards is that you aren't truly looking at the camera, and that just bothers me. The prompter I bought fits over the camera's lens so that you are looking directly at the viewer.

If you start shopping for professional teleprompters you'll often find them in the multiple thousands of dollars, but you don't need to spend that much. I paid $799 for the Telmax OS-15, a 15 inch prompter, and as you can tell I love it. You can learn more about the teleprompters from ZaPrompt at http://bit.ly/cdTuxQ, and yes, I like them so much that I signed up as an affiliate.

If you are doing online video marketing or creating video products for sale, you will find that a teleprompter makes you far more productive and professional on camera. Try it!

  • @marketRUMBA This was done with a 500 watt softbox placed slightly to my right. There is a hair light above and behind me with an amber filter and spun wool on it to make it soft and give some definition from the background. That's it, really. It was a quick setup. The backdrop is a muslin cloth.

    For audio I had a Sennheiser ME66 shotgun on a stand in front of me.

    I shot it with my Canon XH A1s.

    I've done a lot of work on my studio since then, adding sound baffles to improve the audio.

  • Rick, I really like the lighting and sound in this video. Even better than some prior videos you have posted. The lighting is soft and with no glare and your voice is deep and resonant. Very good. Can you tell me what lighting you use and what kind of microphone. thanks
