# Recording with teleprompter

> Use teleprompter workflow to record smoother, more natural narration.

## Overview

Use this guide when you want consistent delivery without memorizing a script.

The goal is natural pacing, clear eye line, and fewer retakes.

## Before you start

* Draft your script in short lines (one idea per line).
* Test microphone and camera levels before your first full take.
* Keep your scene structure open in the timeline so script chunks map to scenes.

## Steps

1. **Prepare script blocks**
   * Split long paragraphs into short spoken lines.
   * Add punctuation where you want pauses.
2. **Set teleprompter speed**
   * Start slower than your normal speaking pace.
   * Run a 20-30 second test to calibrate.
3. **Position for eye contact**
   * Keep the script near the camera line.
   * Reduce line length if your eyes drift too far.
4. **Record in segments**
   * Record scene by scene instead of one long take.
   * Re-record only the segment with mistakes.
5. **Review and trim**
   * Cut stumbles and long pauses.
   * Check sync between spoken lines and on-screen actions.

## Check your result

* Voice delivery sounds natural and paced.
* Eye contact feels steady enough for viewers.
* Script segments align with scene transitions.

## Troubleshooting

### Delivery sounds robotic

Shorten lines and add natural punctuation. Teleprompter-friendly text is not the same as written prose.

### Eyes look like they are reading

Move script position closer to camera and reduce each line width.

### Timing drifts after edits

Recheck scene boundaries after trimming and adjust clip offsets before exporting.
