What are the biggest mistakes people make when purchasing a teleprompter?
1. 0:41 Buying one that's not portable.
2. 0:51 Buying one that's too portable.
3. 1:35 Buying a teleprompter that tips over.
4. 2:12 Buying one that only works with iPad.
5. 2:39 Buying a teleprompter with cheap glass.
6. 3:19 Not having a dedicated studio space.
7. 5:41 Using a device that's too small.
8. 6:47 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. 8:32 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. 9:02 Not recording in 60fps. If you're not using slow motion, no big deal. Personally, I love using slow motion in my videos.
11. 9:44 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. 10:29 Eyes darting back and forth. Stand far enough away that you can read without being "detected"
13. 10:50 Wasting time. 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. 11:02 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. 12:56 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. 13:23 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. 14:26 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. 15:32 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.
20. Bad device settings.
21. Bad lighting.
22. Listening to paid reviews about teleprompter products.
23. Bad editing skills.
24. Loud background music.
25. Hire talent.
