For stage performers, neither the traditional teleprompter nor the presidential teleprompter, aka, speech teleprompter is suitable for on-stage prompting.
Performers, singers, comedians and generally those who need to see text or lyrics to perform at their best use a confidence monitor or downstage teleprompter monitor.
The downstage version is usually positioned so that the audience can’t really see it. It is often in a black box covered with a non-reflective black fabric such as duvetyne.
Confidence Monitors Sizes and Configurations:
Two or three small 19″ monitors placed low at the lip of the stage so that the speaker or performer can walk about without losing sight of the text or lyrics. We sometimes disguise them as audio speakers. Works well for singers!
One or two larger monitors 32″ to 36″ are placed just off the stage making them invisible to the audience. Require that the singer or speaker occasionally glance back into the wings rather than into the audience.
The rear of house monitor is a large monitor usually 42 ‘ to 60″ placed at the rear behind the audience. Performers can look into the audience giving the impression of eye contact.
But when the speaker needs to walk around the front of the room or even move down into the audience, the teleprompter of choice is the confidence monitor.This is often a large 40″ to 80″ monitor placed at the rear of the room or multiple smaller monitors like 36″ monitors mounted low to the floor on a rolling swivel cart.
A reliable teleprompter to truly give you confidence.
Singers and actors alike use downstage monitors so they concentrate on the performance, not memory.
Teleprompters for live performances that can be hidden from the audience and adjusted for specific brightness and color settings.
We have various-sized confidence monitors, from 32" to 80". If budget is an issue, I would recommend using the Basic Presidential. The larger monitors in the back of the room, depending on size, are generally more expensive than the Basic Presidential and have the following disadvantages:
The speaker appears to be looking out over the heads of the audience. Lack of eye contact which is preserved by the presidential.
Any audience member could inadvertently walk in front of the view of the monitor.
The audience can see the large monitor and see that the speaker is just reading his/her speech
The long cable run can be a trip hazard or be kicked out
As set up and wrap time is longer there may be an issue of overtime.
