DIY TELEPROMPTER UPGRADE
(It should not go away just because we have services in the church building again.) Teleprompters also greatly upgrade video announcements for Sunday!Ī professional teleprompter is financially out of the reach of most churches, but the plans we have and want to share with you only take simple construction skills, a few tools, and costs less than $40. If communication is our job, and we want to excel, then every church should at least explore the option of using a teleprompter, especially for the electronic social media.
The teleprompter facilitates eye contact by putting the message on a screen that is in the same place as the camera, thereby creating a video version of “eye to eye.” The one speaking shares heart to heart with a listener when they make eye contact – even when using electronic media.
We all know that a key to communication is eye contact. Using a teleprompter helps a speaker stay on message, not chasing rabbit trails that may be entertaining, but usually distract from the point of the message and divert communication. Subsequently, our AGK Superintendent asked me to make one for our AGK office, where it is now in service.Įvery major speaker uses a teleprompter, and after working with them I can see why. Not knowing anything about it, I did online research, developed a model, and then built the teleprompter that the church now uses weekly.
To that end, about a year ago, my pastor (Steve Rains, Lifepoint Valley Center) asked me to build a teleprompter for our church. It therefore stands to reason that we would do all we can to excel as communicators. The church is in the business of communication. By Steve Preston, AGK Missionary, Highway Chapel
