A teleprompter is so many things to so many people! You’re here, so, the chances are you know the object itself and how it functions. If not, perhaps you’re looking for a teleporter? Understandable mistake. We are future minded after all.
We could go on and on about why your production needs us, but we’ll make it short. Our collective is made up of some of the smartest, sharpest, fastest, most instinctual operators the business has ever known. They’re extraordinary under high pressure! We like to say that they can land a B-52 on the flight deck of a moving battleship in choppy waters (metaphorically, of course). And what’s more? None of them are grumpy OR weird! (If you’ve ever worked with a grumpy prompter op (and oh, there are many), you know why this is HUGE.)
To us at Promptin’ Circumstance, teleprompter, or promptin’ is a way of life. Just try yelling “PROMPTER!” in a crowd and if a PC employee is around, he or she will snap to.

We’re a Mac based company. And to paraphrase the Apple motto of the late 90’s, “it just works,” anything you can hand us on whatever format, we’ll make it work.
Having said that, we prefer word or text with no tables. Pdfs can be done, but you should add a good hour onto the formatting time to make sure it’s solid.

Need to memorize a laundry list of things you have to recite back to a camera or crowd? Here, have a laundry list of ways Promptin’ Circumstance can benefit you:
- The Script need not be memorized to be delivered with confidence, polish and accuracy.
- Eliminates the need for notes, cue cards and index cards
- Allows the speaker to focus more on style and delivery rather than memorizing content.
- Enables presenter to maintain eye contact with the audience, be it live or on TV.
- Reduces video production costs by making it easier to get longer and more accurate ‘takes.’ (We’re the fixers)
- Makes complicated speeches and presentations consistent time after time.
- Makes the talent feel cool. How often do you get a person dedicated with telling you what to say?
We don’t ask for much beyond a small table that can accommodate two MacBooks side by side. But if you reallllllly want to know, a teleprompter successfully performs his or her job with:
TV Sets / Trucks / Live Shows
TV Sets / Trucks / Live Shows
- An audio monitor with Pre-Fade audio from the talent and/or program
- A Headset with the AD, the talent, the writers / producers dialed in
- A return monitor showing our feed, so we know we’re sending signal.
- If Necessary a feed. We generally show up with all outputs from VGA to Composite to HDSDI, but it’s always good to know ahead of time what we’re walking into
On-Cams
- We’d love to know what type of camera you’re using ahead of time.
- A robust tripod that can accept 20 lbs and over
While Promptin’ Circumstance boasts the best teleprompter operators in the business and the most robust, tested (and tested again) gear, sometimes there’s an issue that would stump Nikolai Tesla (pre-pigeons). Fear not! Our crack support team is available 24/7 and uses the highest of high technology to assess and solve problems. Like internet providers, we like to boast 99% up time.
Oh, do we ever. We’re covered for anything you need us to be covered for. Just ask and we’ll supply a COI.
