Jim James, a PR agency founder with 25 years of experience, explains how teleprompters fix the problem of speakers looking away from the camera while reading scripts. He covers accessible teleprompter tech and techniques so you maintain eye contact on video calls and recordings.
Hello and welcome to the Speak VR podcast. My name is Jim James and this show is for you. If you've got value locked up in your organization and you're just trying to look for some cost effective and simple ways to communicate that using public relations and other tools. Now, I've been running my own international public relations agency for over 25 years, but I've also built companies on three continents. So I've learned how to do public relations for over 500 clients, but I've also made it work for my own businesses. So today I'd like to share some insights on teleprompting and about how we're starting to see people looking into the camera but looking on one side. It's very distracting if we're on a zoom call or these videos we're watching or making. And when people are reading a script and you can tell if they're not looking into the screen, the solution is to use a teleprompter. Now, teleprompting is not just for big television companies anymore. And I'm going to share with you on this podcast some technologies that.
How can this be easy? The mindset approach approach to change how you build your business.
