Teleprompter Setup, Eye-Line & Natural On-Camera Delivery

Eliminate left-to-right eye scanning and stiff robotic phrasing through proper lens-to-glass geometry, narrow script columns, and conversational delivery.

Founders, physicians, lawyers, and educators turn to teleprompters to record substantial educational videos without spending days memorizing lines, yet viewers spot an amateur prompter setup right away: eyes darting horizontally like windshield wipers and flat, breathless essay sentences. Both problems stem from optical placement and written-vs-spoken formatting, and both are completely solvable. In this course, we dial in exact focal-length distance, narrow centered text margins, and vocal pacing tailored to your speaking style.

Course Learning Pillars

Core Capabilities Developed in This Course

Every learner starts from a different background. These are the core capabilities this course develops, paced to your goals across the sessions we plan together.

Zero-Scan Optical Distance & Margin Math

Pair a 50mm–85mm focal length at 2.2–3.5 meters with a narrow 3-to-5-word center column so your pupils remain steady on the lens axis.

Writing for the Ear & Visual Beat Cues

Convert stiff written paragraphs into short spoken breath groups marked with pause beats, vocal emphasis, and natural transition cues.

Clean Beam-Splitter Sealing & Glass Exposure

Seal the black camera shroud tightly behind 70/30 or 60/40 beam-splitter glass so zero room reflections or lens rings ghost into your shot.

Voice-Tracking & Silent Hand/Foot Scroll Control

Configure voice-following scroll apps or silent Bluetooth ring/foot controllers so the text waits when you pause or ad-lib an example.

Course Syllabus

Core Concepts & Topics Covered

Below are the main concepts and topics covered in this course. In your Free Online Intro Session, we align the exact depth and number of sessions to your experience and goals.

Topic 01

Optical Axis Alignment, Focal Length & Beam-Splitter Setup

Rigging tablet beam-splitters or dedicated studio prompters at true eye level while protecting contrast and sharpness.

Why placing a 24mm prompter 80cm from the speaker exposes obvious horizontal eye sweeps
Locking the active reading pointer 2cm directly over the center of the camera lens
Compensating the 0.3–0.5 stop light loss of beam-splitter glass without raising sensor noise

Topic 02

Spoken Script Rewriting & RTL Persian / English Typography

Reformatting real professional scripts into vertical breath lines and setting clean, legible RTL Persian and LTR English layouts.

Trimming dense written clauses into natural spoken contractions and conversational rhythm
Fixing Persian RTL punctuation reversal, font weight, and line spacing inside prompter apps
Color-coding emphasis words, breath breaks, and planned cut/zoom transitions

Topic 03

On-Camera Coaching: Micro-Expressions, Gestures & Looking Away

Practicing live reads on camera until stiffness melts away and your delivery feels warm, unhurried, and completely unscripted.

Using natural micro-nods, hand gestures, and brief off-glass thought glances so eyes never look frozen
Delivering strong opening hooks and relaxed closing lines without rushing the final sentence
Going briefly off-script for a quick personal example and rejoining the scroll smoothly

Topic 04

Batch Course Recording, Bilingual Versions & Direct-Eye Calls

Running calm multi-episode recording blocks, clean pick-up retakes, and direct-eyeline video calls using desktop prompter displays.

Restarting flubbed sentences from the previous breath marker with a visual clap/pause for clean edits
Planning 100% to 110% 4K punch-in framing beats across long talking-head lessons
Placing webinar slides or live client video windows on desktop prompter glass for true eye contact

Common Questions

Which teleprompter hardware and apps handle both right-to-left Persian and English scripts cleanly?

Many generic prompter apps scramble Persian punctuation or reverse English technical terms inside Persian lines. In this course, we test reliable RTL-friendly apps (such as PromptSmart Pro for voice-following scroll and Elgato Camera Hub / Teleprompter Pro setups) directly on your own bilingual scripts, and during the Free Online Intro Session we help you pick hardware suited to your camera or desk.

How does the Free Online Intro Session work, and how many sessions will I need?

Every course begins with a Free Online Introductory Session where we review the core syllabus together, evaluate your current background and goals, and map out how many sessions you actually need and whether continuing Online ($69 CAD/hr) or In-Person ($99 CAD/hr) suits you best. Session count is never a rigid one-size-fits-all number; it adapts to your own level and pace.

Do I have to commit to a multi-session package, or can I get just the PDF guide?

There is zero upfront package commitment: live sessions are booked flexibly session-by-session ($69 CAD/hr online or $99 CAD/hr in-person). If you prefer a self-paced written guide instead of live coaching, a standalone $39 CAD PDF option can also be requested for this topic.

Are courses taught in English, Persian (Farsi), or bilingual?

Your choice: every session with Iman Adlkhah can be conducted 100% in English, 100% in Persian (Farsi), or naturally bilingual with industry terminology.
