Teleprompter Practice Scripts

Practises: Warm-up

Hi, I'm glad you're here. My name is Alex, and I make short videos about things I'm learning. I'm not an expert. I'm just a little further along than I was yesterday. If that sounds like your kind of channel, stick around.

Practises: Pace and clarity

Good morning. Here's your forecast. Expect clear skies this morning, with temperatures climbing through the afternoon. Clouds roll in after sunset, and there's a chance of light rain overnight. Tomorrow looks cooler, so grab a jacket on your way out.

Practises: Natural enthusiasm

I've been using this for two weeks, and I have thoughts. The good: it's fast, it's quiet, and it just works. The not so good: the battery could be better. Would I buy it again? Honestly, yes.

Practises: Authority and eye contact

Good evening. Our top story tonight. City officials approved a new plan to expand public transport across the northern districts. The project is expected to take three years, and will add twelve new stations. Supporters say it will cut commute times. Critics worry about the cost. We'll have more on this story after the break.

Practises: Explaining clearly

Let's set this up together. It takes about two minutes. First, open the settings menu in the top corner. Next, tap on display, and turn on mirror mode. Now place your phone under the glass, screen facing up. That's it. You're ready to record.

Practises: Confidence

Every week, small teams lose hours to the same problem. They record a video, stumble, and start again. And again. We fixed that. Our app listens as you speak and scrolls at your pace, so the first take is the good take. We're already used by thousands of creators, and we're just getting started.

Practises: Pauses and emphasis

Ten years ago, I stood on a stage like this one, and I froze. (pause) I forgot every word. The room went silent. And in that silence, I learned something I've never forgotten. (pause) The audience isn't waiting for you to be perfect. They're waiting for you to be real.

Practises: Articulation

Red leather, yellow leather. Red leather, yellow leather. Unique New York. Unique New York. You know you need unique New York. The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Six slippery snails slid slowly seaward.

Practises: Acting from a prompter

You think I didn't notice? I noticed. I noticed every single time you said you'd call, and didn't. (beat) But I'm not angry anymore. That's the part you should be worried about. Because when I stop being angry, it means I've stopped caring.

Practises: Storytelling

Let me tell you about my grandmother. She never had much, but every Sunday, her door was open. Anyone could come. Neighbours. Strangers. Kids from down the street. She used to say: the table is never too small. I think about that a lot. Because the world could use a few more open doors.
