Although, the larger the font, the fewer words will appear at a time, it will save you squinting or slipping up and getting panicked. You can often switch the text from white on black to black on white if that makes it easier for you to read. You may also need to adjust your glasses as you’ll be focussing on the mid distance rather than close distance as you would be with a script.·        You can’t see many words at once on a prompter, so it’s tricky to read ahead and get the sense of the sentence before you read it out loud. So, you have to know the script in advance to get the correct delivery and intonation and not be caught out by any unusual words. You may be able to have some key words underlined or in CAPITALS to help guide you through. Having said that, some studios write the whole script in capitals which can make it tricky to spot a name or title. ·        Write out words how you will read them and in the correct order: “AU$0.7m” does not necessarily belong on a teleprompter, instead a presenter may prefer “700-million Australian dollars”.·        Beware of any ‘stage directions’ that might be included in the script [usually in square brackets] such as [CAMERA ONE] or [AD LIB TO FILL TO 29:30] which you should not read out. ·        Have a hard copy of the script to hand in case the prompter malfunctions, turning the pages as you proceed.
