Teleprompter
hire in Sydney

Autocue with an operator who knows how to run it. Your executive reads their words, looks straight down the lens, and sounds like they mean it. Usually part of a shoot, sometimes on its own.

What a teleprompter actually fixes

Ask a busy executive to learn three minutes of script and one of two things happens. They don't learn it, or they learn it badly and you spend the morning doing take after take.

A teleprompter puts the words over the lens. They read while looking straight at the camera, which reads as eye contact to the audience. Fewer takes, less pressure, and everyone out on time.

Where it earns its keep

Executive pieces to camera

The CEO message, the results update, the change announcement. Words that have been through legal and can't drift.

Product and launch

A presenter covering a lot of detail without losing the thread or the energy.

Events and stage

A confidence monitor at the lectern so a speaker can stay on time and on message.

How we work

How a job runs, step by step.

Five stages, all handled. You brief us once and give your feedback. We run the rest.

01 Your part

Brief

Tell us the goal, the audience and the deadline once. Jess turns it into a scope, a plan and a fixed quote, so you know what you are getting before anything is locked in.

  • One clear brief, no back and forth
  • A fixed quote up front, itemised
  • One point of contact, start to finish

The operator is the point

A prompter with nobody running it is worse than no prompter. Scroll too fast and the speaker chases it. Too slow and they sound like a robot waiting for permission.

Our operator follows the speaker, not a fixed speed. When they pause, it pauses. When they skip a line, it keeps up. Done right, nobody watching can tell it was there.

  • Through-the-lens prompter, so the eyeline is dead centre
  • An operator scrolling to the speaker, live, not on a timer
  • Text size and line breaks set to how that person reads
  • Last-minute wording changes typed in on the spot
  • A separate confidence monitor for stage and lectern set-ups
  • Scripts loaded in order for a batch of short videos

Making it not sound read

The giveaway with autocue isn't the eyes, it's the rhythm. People read at a flat pace and land every sentence the same way.

So we do a run-through, mark where to breathe, and cut anything that reads fine but says badly. Our crew came up through live news, where reading to camera is the job, and that coaching comes with the booking.

I’m really relaxed. Even at events I’m not at, I’m not worried at all. It’s set and forget.

I had a partner, not a supplier. They were truly part of the team, across a four day, five week event.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Can we hire just the teleprompter?

We supply it with an operator rather than on its own. An unattended prompter is where most of the bad takes come from, and the operator is the cheap part of the day.

When do you need the script?

The day before is ideal so we can format it and set the line breaks. We can load a script on the morning, and we can change wording on the spot.

Will it look like they're reading?

Not if it's run well. The text sits over the lens so the eyeline is correct, and the operator follows their pace. We'll do a run-through so it sounds spoken, not read.

How much can someone read in one go?

Three to four minutes is comfortable. Beyond that we break it into sections, which also gives the editor somewhere to cut.

Can you bring one to an event?

Yes. A confidence monitor at the lectern or downstage is a common ask for conferences and awards nights.

Where we film

Across Sydney and greater NSW.

Based in Sydney, filming across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, Parramatta, the Inner West and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate for the right job.
