TELEPROMPTER APPLICATIONS

I have been practising with some Teleprompter applications on my iPhone to make sure I look at the little green dot on the camera rather than looking at the screen. This is so that when I’m talking to the camera I am not looking so shifty which is the effect to get when you’re looking away from the camera and is it off to the left or to the right.

Overdub as it is called needs at least 10 minutes of my voice to do that and my recording was only 9 minutes long.

RECORDING VIDEO – OTHER PKM APPLICATIONS VERSUS TANA

I just recorded a video using an application called Teleprompter on my iPhone. I really like using it on the settings are easy to use and follow. The good thing about choosing a teleprompter is that it forces me to speak at a slower speed. I am often talking too fast for use within a tutorial video. There only thing is, I just noticed after doing the recording that my my microphone on my Mac wasn’t plugged in.
