2 Awesome Secrets to Looking Into Lens While Using Free Teleprompter Apps

https://youtu.be/gPEk8ioKl68

I recently had to shoot a 2-minute video from home and needed to use a teleprompter. Since I don't need a teleprompter for home auditions very often, I only wanted to use a free prompter.

My biggest issue was not being able to look directly into the lens while reading the words. I finally figured out a workaround that I share in this video.

If you have any other suggestions for being able to use a free teleprompter app and be able to look straight into the lens of the camera, please share it in the comments section of my channel.

Great video, Aaron Marcus. I also posted this comment on your video. I’ve been thinking about something. What if actors can’t stop laughing during a scene? Probably on a Comedy movie or show. Do you know any ways actors can stop laughing so it doesn’t take up time on set? That’s an idea for a video.

Aaron Marcus

Hi Maurice, great question and great topic. I have found that sometimes it just happens. And, at some point you just have to fight your way through it. But, as I am sure you have seen in many out takes, it can take a little while to finally get through the material. Thank you so much for the suggestion. I am always open to hearing other great ideas from you.

Great info Aaron Marcus . Love your setup on the books. My biggest issue is light reflection on my glasses. I've seen a few videos on this but haven't really found one that helps.

Aaron Marcus

Maybe you could talk with an optometrist about non-reflective glasses. Is there a way of having the lights placed at a different angel where the reflection isn't so great?

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Aaron Marcus. Always great to see your videos and hear your responds to questions.

Leonardo Ramirez

Aaron Marcus I think you're right in that the secret is somewhere in the light placement and angle. Just hadn't found it yet. I'm wearing anti-reflective glasses now and they don't work so well.

Aaron Marcus

Hope you can find your sweat spot for the lighting.

Aaron Marcus

Thank you Maurice.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Aaron Marcus.

Leonardo Ramirez

Thanks Aaron Marcus . Thanks for all you do for actors in the community.

Aaron Marcus

You are very welcome Leonardo. I remember what it was like getting started. It was really hard for me. I didn't have anyone to turn to for help or for guidance. I always knew that if I ever had any success, I would try and help others. That is one of the reasons why I love giving both in-person and virtual workshops as well as private coaching. Thank you again for your kind words. Please help spread the word about my channel with your fellow actors.https://www.youtube.com/c/aaronmarcusactingandmodelingquicktips
