So my students are skeptical when I tell them they have to move their head when they're speaking using
a teleprompter.
Well T.J. that's not my style.
I never do that.
First of all you do when you're comfortable when you're talking.
But here's what I want you to do.
I want you to watch five minutes or so of your favorite cable newscast.
And in fact flick around to several of them.
But here's the key.
I want you to watch with out the volume on and look at the top of the show when the news anchor of the
talk show host is introducing segments they are typically speaking from a teleprompter.
You can also do this by looking at the broadcast news networks ABC NBC CBS and just watch at what the
news anchors do.
They're moving their head they're moving their face their eyebrows are moving they're communicating
a great deal when they are reading the news.
Now newscasters tend to have a little stiffer style and they're tending not to use they use their hands
and they're sitting down.
But I do want you to focus on the head movement and the facial expression you'll see tremendous variety
there and that can serve as a good role model for you.
