• Practice Makes Perfect: Before a live recording, practice reading your script through the teleprompter to get comfortable with the scrolling speed and maintaining a natural gaze.
• Eye Contact: Position your camera lens as close to the center of the reflective glass as possible to ensure you maintain direct eye contact with your audience.
• Lighting: Ensure adequate and even lighting on your face and the teleprompter screen to prevent reflections or glare that could obscure the text.
• App Settings: Experiment with different font sizes, styles, and background colors within your teleprompter app to find what is most comfortable for your eyes. A dark background with light text is often preferred.
