How to Naturally Read a Video Script (Without a Bunch of Retakes)

I know you’ve heard them -- we all have. Those unnatural-sounding online lessons, commercial voiceovers and audiobooks that come across as super corny... or so dull they sound like a technical manual.

And usually the reason they’re hard to listen to is because they’re not written -- or read -- like you’d actually speak in a real conversation.

But with a little practice, you can master the art of reading your script naturally on camera, without a bunch of retakes -- AND kick your audience engagement up a few notches too.

In this video -- How To Naturally Read a Video Script (Without a Bunch of Retakes), I’ll be showing you:
• When you might want to think about using a script (and when you may not)
• Why, When and How to use a teleprompter (it’s WAY easier than you think!)
• And my personal tech recommendations for putting it all together.

So if you’re ready to start creating engaging, scripted (and unscripted!) content for your audience or students... check it out!

I like the way you presented. Its Ok to imperfect. I think the most difficult path a new content creator faces is to think to be perfect as other successful you tubers. This thinking process discourse him/her to create content or to delay in creating content. Sometimes, he/she will think this is not my job and then give up. If he or she can accept to be imperfect then success is certain. Thanks a lot. Very encouraging !

Great tips! I'm stoked to try that teleprompter app you mentioned because I still like to have someone advance the script for me. I absolutely NEED a script and teleprompter to make my YouTube videos as concise and value-packed as I want them to be, and in the beginning, I'd use a free teleprompter app on my laptop and prop it up so that the screen was riiiight under my video camera then put it across the room.

Super valuable, practicable tips! I love the idea of using a prompter for the intros - and then go freestyle.

I appreciate very much this information. I do need a teleprompter for my online program but mostly for the fb videos when i deliver content. Please can you explain me more how i can make a handmade teleprompter like the one you are talking about that you were using for 5 years before buying a "normal one"? i tried to do it with my computer but it was not so natural because the eyes look towards the earth. I would like to seem the most natural possible. And for sure learning by heart and being 100% it is so much time consuming

How does it affect the script moving on when you are going off script? Does it just stop and when you continue the script it starts moving again?

Thank you, really appreciated! For now I tend to rely on my notes a lot, my eyes shift too much as I glance across to my notes.
