The material you are about to read is the result of my experiences of 20 years work in the production of industrial video programs, satellite interactive broadcasts and commercials. Be as transparent to the process as the reflective glass in the teleprompter. Let this basic thought guide you in handling the various situations, many politically difficult, and you will find that you can avoid a large amount of the stress that you encounter in many production situations. The teleprompter operator is a functionary, a tool, a method for the on camera talent to make the best presentation of which they are capable and make it as painlessly as possible. With this in mind, it will be easier to keep your ego uninvolved in the teleprompting process.
Nobody wants to work with an operator with an attitude.
