Episode 616: How to Use a Teleprompter for Self-Tapes

And so you'll see here, and I'm gonna be 100% honest and open about this, is I booked my first call, my very first call for Electric Bloom, which was called how we became the biggest man in the world that first time, the first call.

And you can see it here in my, in my you know youtube or whatever uh you can watching the video you can see that i i i here's the teleprompter it's in there i i booked it that way and you know i will that wasn't the book and i did that first call and then i had a call back with a you know the producer And there were a studio network.

Everybody was there for that.

And I booked it.

So what I'm saying, I was saying, I never said go into your callback.

I never said go into your test, not knowing your lines.

I actually said, don't even go into your first, you know, when you're doing it, you still need to know what you're doing.

You still need to know all of that stuff.

You know, a teleprompter, we're thinking about it as a newscaster and they're like reading everything off of it.

That's not how you use a teleprompter as an actor.

That is not how you use it.

You still have to do all your work, all your homework.

You still have to know everything about it, break down that script, and everything has to come into play here.

But maybe there's something that you're doing with lines or there's a piece of a paragraph or a monologue that you just don't have time to memorize because you've been on set.

And I work.

And so I still want to continue to work.

So anyway, I felt that type of way.

I felt a type of way about this dude calling me a con artist who doesn't know anything.
