Below are a few pointer for giving an informal speech. Bu using the teleprompter you can easily scroll through your points.

• Remember adults are self-directed. You are a facilitator and not a grade school teacher.

• Ask your audience to share their experiences with the group; adults need to connect learning to their knowledge base.

• Help your audience see the importance of your topic to their work. Adults are goal-oriented and will appreciate an educational program that is organized and has clearly defined elements.

• Remember to show your audience respect. They bring a wealth of experiential knowledge to your presentation and will, if allowed, contribute richly to it.

• Control the cross-talk. In these environments you can lose control of the presentation if you do not maintain the focus of the audience. This does not mean adopting Draconian-style dictatorship, but do make sure everyone is aware that you are the presenter and keep control of the other participants.

Lots of people these days take their laptop onto the stage and they usually have a Teleprompter running which helps make them sound more professional.

During the early 1980s, a workable solution was found for many of the early teleprompter‘s inherent problems. A personal computer could be used to generate and scroll electronic text on a monitor. This monitor could be placed above or below the lens of a television camera without being visible to the home viewer. A special one-way mirror or a shrouded piece of window glass could be angled to reflect the monitor’s text towards the on-air talent.

Since this reflected text does not enter the camera’s lens, only the on-air talent can view the contents. This feature of a modern teleprompter allows the performer to maintain apparent eye contact with the audience while reading a prepared script. The reading speed can be controlled by the camera operator, director or even the talent. A teleprompter helps create the illusion that a news anchor or politician is speaking spontaneously, when in fact the words have been carefully scripted before the broadcast.

One of the technical challenges involved with a teleprompter is the creation and display of text. Because the reflected image of the text is reversed, the original text display must also be reversed to compensate. This reversed text feature proved to be quite a challenge for programmers during the earliest days of word processing software. Text reversal continues to be a concern for teleprompter programmers, but there are recent innovations in the industry that may provide teleprompter text without such a need for alterations.

MSI Prompt is not as sophisticated as these professional teleprompters however neither is the price. MSI Prompt is a simple yet effective personal teleprompter that has the added feature of allowing you to record as you read.

New Feature – Due to many customers requests we have also now made the scrolling accessible with hot keys. By using the arrows on your keyboard you can control the scrolling speed.

Just click on the scroller area and your ready to adjust up and down speeds with your keypad.

Because all the controls and the text are in the one screen you can adjust all the features in real time.

No need to compile and restart.

• You can change the font size to suit your preferences instantly
• You can change the colors of the text.
• You can change the colors of the background
• You can adjust the speed of scroll
• You can pause, stop or restart at the click of a button.
• It is a set size for PC only.

The TelePrompTer company was founded in the 1950s by Fred Barton Jr., Hubert J. (Hub) Schlafly, and Irving Berlin Kahn. Barton was an actor who suggested the concept of the teleprompter as a means of assisting television performers who had to memorize large amounts of material in a short time.

The first personal computer–based Teleprompter, Compu=Prompt, appeared in 1982. It was invented and marketed by Courtney M. Goodin & Laurence B. Abrams in Hollywood, California. This custom software and specially redesigned camera hardware ran on the Atari 800 Personal Computer. Their company later became ProPrompt Inc., which is still providing teleprompting services some 26 years later. Other paper-based Teleprompting companies—Q-TV and Telescript—followed suit and developed their own software several years later, when computers with enough graphics power to provide the smooth scrolling text became available..

It should also be noted that Jess Oppenheimer, producer of I Love Lucy, claims credit for the original concept of the teleprompter and was awarded the U.S. patent for its creation. Originally used so that Lucille Ball could read commercials on-camera, it soon became a staple for television news.

As late as 1992, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson was still using an early mechanical teleprompter.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Autoscript (a UK- and US-based company) pioneered TFT monitors rather than the traditional CRTs. This enabled significantly less weight on the camera itself and more portability. They also introduced high-brightness monitors enabling prompters to be used in direct sunlight. A further breakthrough in 2005 introduced Voice Activated Prompting. Along with their partner, Sysmedia, Autoscript developed a prompter that required no peripheral to control the scroll of the prompter. The voice-activated prompter simply scrolled at the speed of the presenter’s speech.

Using tools like the MSI Personal Teleprompter is a great way to keep you on track and also make sure your presentation is professional. The beauty is you can also record it while you are giving the talk and post it later on the Internet for futher reference.

Here’s how you can control your nervousness and make effective, memorable presentations:

* Know the room. Be familiar with the place in which you will speak. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the microphone and any visual aids.

* Know the audience. Greet some of the audience as they arrive. It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers.

* Know your material. If you’re not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practice your speech and revise it if necessary.

* Relax. Ease tension by doing exercises.

* Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear, and assured. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be successful.

* Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining. They don’t want you to fail.

* Don’t apologize. If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any problems you think you have with your speech, you may be calling the audience’s attention to something they hadn’t noticed. Keep silent.

* Concentrate on the message — not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties, and outwardly toward your message and your audience. Your nervousness will dissipate.

* Turn nervousness into positive energy. Harness your nervous energy and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm

* Gain experience. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking.

Using msiprompt to keep you on track can be a great tool. Just enter the points of your talk and then scroll through them to keep you on target.

Your audience will appreciate you keeping to the topic and it adds some credability when they see you using a tool.

So far as I understand your sales copy, the “main” selling point is that this is 5 to 10 times LESS than cost of comparable existing software. That is true, but I think you need to demonstrate or explain all of the various ways this program can be of great use.

For example, i have already discovered it is a great way to create an “outline” and keep it up in front of me during phone interviews, to make sure I stay on track and do not miss any key points I want to make. Also, you could use it to create scripts for clients, record them, and easily create info products for your clients — either for a set fee, or royalty basis. We got tremendous reaction from several clients who said they would love to do their own “info product” or course, if all they had to do was sit there and read a script, or speak from an outline.

Preparation

In making recordings, the goal is always to get a clear, undistorted speech signal with as little noise as possible.

Noise that will detract from or ruin signal quality for acoustic analysis can include:

* Any kind of environmental noise

* Speaker movement, especially if movement impacts the microphone or an object close to the microphone

* Voice overlap between speakers

* Noise from the computer system during transfer to computer

The best way to minimize environmental noise is to record in a sound-proofed or sound-treated room. To reduce the effects of noise in an ordinary room:

* Choose a quiet location

* Cover large reverberant surfaces with blankets or cloths

* Unplug electrical appliances

* Close doors and windows

* Turn off lights and fans or air conditioning

* Remove anything that ticks, buzzes, bangs, rattles, squeaks, hisses, or otherwise makes itself heard

* Always make a one minute black recording to see if there are any noises you have missed.

* Make sure you log off any software application like chat programs etc. There is nothing worse than almost getting to the end of your recording and your mail or chat program pipes in with a ding or what ever.

When recording speech form texts it is usually possible to satisfy all, or most of the above conditions. However, to record speech in “natural” situations, speakers often must be allowed to move around and interact with other people, with objects, or with their surroundings. This makes it substantially more difficult to get optimal recording quality.

How to create your audio files using Audacity!

Click here for the live flash movie. (broadband)

This tutorial will help you produce all types of sound files. The first thing you will need is a recording program. Audacity is cross-platform – it runs on Windows (98 through XP), Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and many Unix platforms, including Linux. Audacity is a free audio editor. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and more.

Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings. It also has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications. Built-in effects include Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal, and it also supports VST plug-in effects.

• Audacity is free and the source code is available under the GNU General Public License.
  .
• No limits on the number of tracks or the length of any track, except the size of your hard disk. .
• Import almost anything: WAV, AIFF, Next/AU, IRCAM, MP3, and MIDI files are supported natively, but Audacity will also open just about any uncompressed sound file and automatically deduce the format (using the Import Raw Data… feature).
  .
• Audacity not only includes many high-quality effects built-in, but also lets you use plug-in effects in the industry-standard VST format. There are dozens of free, shareware, and commercial VST plug-ins online that do everything from Reverb to Noise Reduction.

• Audacity acts like a non-destructive editor , providing multiple levels of undo, but it also writes changes made to the audio to disk, eliminating the need for complicated real-time processing. .

• Label tracks allow you to annotate waveforms (for example, transcribing speech) and later export the waveforms to a text file. .

• Powerful spectral features allow you to view waveforms as spectrograms or plot the power spectrum of any region of audio, and even export this data to a spreadsheet.

Here is a complete tutorial for Audacity.

How Can I Record Myself? The first thing you need is a microphone or some kind of input device. Most multimedia computers come with a microphone, but you can also pick one up from any computer or music store. The microphone can be plugged in directly to the sound card in your computer. Most sound cards use a 1/8" Walkman-type headphone jack, so make sure your microphone is compatible with this. What are the steps of recording? Here is a quick step-by-step guide to recording yourself:

• Before you start you recording write down what you want to say. When you are recording speak slowly and concisely.
• Plug your microphone into the mic input in your sound card
• Open up your audio recorder/editor and put it into record mode
• Check the input levels to make sure the signal is loud enough, but not too loud.
• Hit "record" and start speaking
• When youre finished, hit "stop"
• Depending on the software you use save it as .wav or .mp3 file
• If your audio application supports editing, you can remove any unwanted sections

 

Once you have finished and if your software did not allow you to save as a mp3 or wav, you can use an MP3 encoder to convert your sound file to MP3 format. WAV and AIFF files run about 10MB per 1 minute of CD-quality audio, and converting to MP3 can reduce this by a factor of 12. For some background about MP3, check out our MP3 tutorial. What are the steps of converting my sound file to MP3 format? Heres the remaining steps to convert your audio file to MP3 format:

• Open your MP3 encoding application
• Choose the "Convert" function
• Choose the WAV of AIFF file you want to convert to MP3
• Choose the sampling rate and bit depth of the MP3. This is usually 44.1 kHZ and 128 bits, and will result in compression by a factor of 12.
• When you are finished converting, add a title and other background info to the MP3 track using the track editor.
