Make Your On Camera Narration Performances Powerful
One of the ways you can make your on camera narration performances powerful is to know how to properly use a teleprompter. Before I share this with you, first, I want to make sure you know what an on camera narrator does on projects.
The on camera narrator is the person who is reading directly into the camera and most likely is reading off a teleprompter. The person is typically sharing a lot of information for the audience. Unlike most acting performances, the on camera narrator typically won’t look at the other actor.
How An On Camera Narrator Must Use a Teleprompter
If the on camera narrator is using a teleprompter, it is very important to only look at the teleprompter. One of the 7 strategies you will learn in this video is that once you begin reading off of the prompter, the on camera narrator must continue to look at the teleprompter. There is an urge to look at the other person (if there is someone else in the project,) but you can’t look back and forth from the prompter to the person. It will look very strange.
