What is a Prompter?
A prompter is a device or person that helps performers remember their lines or cues during a live performance, speech, or presentation.
Types of Prompters
- Teleprompter: A screen that displays text for a speaker to read from while facing an audience.
- Stage Prompter: A person who discreetly provides cues and lines to actors on stage.
Importance of Prompters
Prompters ensure smooth delivery of content without the need for actors or speakers to memorize long scripts, reducing the risk of mistakes.
