TJ WALKER - THE HABIT INFLUENCER - Personal Development | LIVE STREAM

Prakul writes in from middle school in Palm Beach County, Florida. He's going into the fifth crisis. TJ I'm dreaming of becoming a broadcaster newscaster. I'd like some tips on how to read a teleprompter more effectively. And Prakul is one of my students in my online presentation training course for kids. Well, Prakul, here are the basics. And it doesn't matter if you are looking at NBC, abc, CNN News anchors, here are the most important things when you're reading from a teleprompter, you have to not all of a sudden look like this and freeze your head and focus on the words and go back and forth and sound like a robot. See how awful that sounds? It all comes down to just a handful of principles. For starters, you've got to move your face when you read. If your face is frozen, if your head is frozen, you're going to look scared and stiff. The next thing is you have to sometimes speak a little louder in order to show some variation, sometimes a little softer for some variation. And then sometimes you have to speak faster to show some emotion. And sometimes you have to slow down, pause a little. It really does come down to those handful of tips. Sometimes louder, sometimes softer, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. And of course, you have to move, move your head, move your face, do that and you will be ready for prime time sooner than you think.
