News Reading is an art, it is an art of persuading people, reading a paragraph might seem like an easy task, but adding life to it, is a difficult task. A news presenter must know where to change the tone, for instance, it might seem obnoxious if a news presenter reads a tragic accident in a happy tone. One major quality a news presenter has to possess is switching moods with their voice modulation while the other major quality happens to be reading the news from the teleprompter duly.
A Teleprompter is a reading machine/machine that provides/displays a speech or a script for the prompter or a reader to present the idea or the matter provided to them.
Here are a few ways to master reading from the Teleprompter:
Believe in what you read: An artist has to get in the skin of the character to make the audience believe and relate with a character, likewise, as a news presenter persuading people becomes an added responsibility, anyone can read a news article but not everyone can present it, believing in what you read will make your audience believe what you are reading is true.
Voice Modulation and Pronunciation: A news presenter must not stammer when presenting the news. Switching moods can be only possible through voice modulation and tone, also rapidly understanding the matter and presenting the news is a key to ace news presenting.
Read your script and understand your pros and cons: A news presenter most often is presented with the script before the news telecast, read through the script before you present the news. Look for the word pronunciations if you are unsure of the pronunciation and understand the script before you present it.
Breathe: The teleprompter’s speed is dependent on the reader, read it duly as the executive behind the prompter will set the speed according to your reading speed. A presenter need not overexert themselves and read at the pace they are comfortable with so do not forget to breathe in tension.
Hydrate yourself and eat well: News reading needs a lot of concentration and energy. Eating moderately and not stress eating can make reading easier. Hydrating oneself and drinking enough water is equally essential, as a news presenter the voice is the key at the end of the day, taking care of one’s voice and health is very important in this job. To concentrate on the headlines one has to get enough sleep and should be focused, drifting away or dozing off, while presenting news can make your viewers turn off their televisions.
