Autocue hire

An autocue (or teleprompter) is an essential tool for professional newsreaders, TV presenters, actors, politicians, and public speakers. It enables them to deliver lines naturally while maintaining eye contact with the audience. The autocue displays a script in front of the camera lens, allowing the speaker to read seamlessly.

Despite the belief that reading from a script can seem robotic, using an autocue actually enhances delivery. By eliminating the pressure of memorizing a script or improvising, speakers appear more relaxed, confident, and on-message, resulting in a polished yet authentic performance.

With an experienced autocue operator, the script scrolls at the ideal pace, adjusting to the speaker’s reading speed. Scripts can be edited in real time, with custom formatting for emphasis, spacing, and action cues, ensuring an optimal delivery.

Additionally, an autocue saves time and costs during production. Editors can work directly from the script, focusing on the best takes rather than piecing together sentences. On shoot days, the autocue reduces retakes and enables efficient filming with multiple contributors, making it a valuable tool for both live events and video production.

At Preston Street Films, our professional autocue system and skilled operators bring years of experience, having worked with stars like Sir David Attenborough, Tom Cruise, Alan Titchmarsh, and even the late Queen Elizabeth II.
