With the sharp increase of videos being done for the web, more and more “first-timers” are putting their faces on their web site. This comes with no small amount of consternation for these would be first time web stars. Many spend hours trying to memorize their scripts and their uneasiness is clear to see on the video. That is, of course, until they graduate from TKU.
TKU is what I call my “College of Teleprompter Knowledge”. It works so well that I actually have a certificate that I present to my clients after they successfully complete a course and their first video.
As you probably know, it’s the Teleprompter that makes those TV news anchors sound so good delivering the nightly news. If they can do it, why can’t you? Of course, you do have to know how to read. Click here for a funny teleprompter blooper.
Whether you’re a first time star-to-be on camera or a seasoned veteran, the Teleprompter just makes life a whole lot easier. Just last week my teleprompter made a visit to Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady’s house as he filmed a PSA for the NBA’s charitable efforts to help victims of the earthquake in China. Tracy is quite the pro in front of a camera but having a Teleprompter made it just that much easier for him.
Moral of the story: Don’t feel embarrassed to ask for a teleprompter! Everybody’s doing it! And if you’d like to attend TKU, you can reach me at jim@lonestarsound.com
See you on the web!
