Let's talk about something a lot of us ponder over—teleprompters. Do we love them, hate them, or just not want to mess with them at all? Well, as someone who’s spent years in front of the camera, here’s my take.

Teleprompters can be both a friend and a foe. They're fantastic when you're super keen on hitting all your key points, like when you’re talking about a new product or service. But, and it’s a big but, they can make you sound robotic. And that's a no-go if your aim is to connect deeply with your audience. Trust me, people want the vibrant, human you—not a monotone reader.

My advice? Ditch the prompter when you can. Jot down a few key bullet points and speak from the heart. Your authenticity will shine through, and that's what engages people. But if you find yourself needing that safety net of a teleprompter, practice until your reading voice sounds as lively as your speaking one.

In this 5 minute episode you’ll learn:

• Tips on how to effectively use a teleprompter
• The importance of using bullet points to guide your video presentations
• The situations where using a teleprompter might be beneficial
• Recommendations for teleprompter apps

Keep pushing your on-camera skills. It’s worth it. And hey, if you're interested in more tips about being dynamic on camera, follow me on Instagram or LinkedIn!

How do you not sound cheesy or salesy on video? It's all about shifting your mindset from selling to teaching. If you've ever worried about coming across as a pushy salesperson, I totally get it—you're probably recalling those overly aggressive pitches we've all seen. But here's a tip: focus on delivering educational content. If you're curious to learn more about creating engaging videos, feel free to connect with me on Instagram, LinkedIn, or my YouTube channel!

Episode Takeways:

• Focus on Content Quality: Instead of pushing your product, think from a content perspective. Educate and provide value to your audience first.
• Reframe Your Mindset: You're only salesy if you're aggressively selling. Transition from selling to teaching.
• Educate & Entertain: Ensure your content is informative and entertaining. Make the audience feel something rather than just hearing a pitch.
