About This Service
A Teleprompter Operator loads scripts into professional prompting software and controls the scroll speed in real time, enabling on-camera talent to deliver lines naturally while looking directly into the lens. Assignment Desk provides experienced prompter operators who adjust pacing to match each speaker's cadence, ensuring smooth and confident deliveries — even when scripts change at the last minute.
Our Teleprompter Operators arrive with complete prompting systems including camera-mounted beam-splitter teleprompters, presidential (glass) teleprompters for speeches and events, iPad-based prompting for smaller setups, and confidence monitors. They handle all setup, script loading, and real-time operation so your talent can focus entirely on their performance.
Teleprompter services are available in all 24 Assignment Desk markets and can be added to any crew booking. Whether your production is a corporate CEO message, a political address, a training video, or a live event presentation, professional prompting dramatically improves talent performance and reduces shoot time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I hire a Teleprompter Operator instead of using an app?
A professional Teleprompter Operator adjusts scroll speed in real time to match each speaker's natural cadence — something an auto-scroll app cannot do. They also handle last-minute script changes, format text for optimal readability, and troubleshoot technical issues on set. This dramatically reduces takes and shoot time.
What types of teleprompter systems do you provide?
We provide camera-mounted beam-splitter teleprompters (the most common for interview-style shoots), presidential glass teleprompters for speeches and events, iPad-based prompting for mobile setups, and confidence monitors for talent reference. The right system depends on your production format.
How far in advance do you need the script?
Ideally, scripts should be provided at least 24 hours before the shoot so the operator can format text for optimal readability. However, our operators are experienced with last-minute script changes and can load revisions on set in minutes. Final scripts are always preferred but not required.
Can a Teleprompter Operator help non-professional talent?
Absolutely. Our operators are experienced in coaching non-professional talent through the prompting process — adjusting text size, scroll speed, and line breaks to match each speaker's comfort level. They help nervous executives and first-time on-camera talent deliver polished performances.
Can I add teleprompter services to an existing crew booking?
Yes. Teleprompter services can be added to any Assignment Desk crew booking. Simply mention the need when submitting your booking request or call 312-464-8600. The teleprompter operator and equipment will be coordinated with your existing crew schedule.
