Earprompter from Ovation a Perfect Fit for Public Speakers
May 14, 2008
In business, one of the most important skills is the ability to stand in front of a group and effectively get the message across. Unfortunately, fear of public speaking is our number one fear (most people would rather have a root canal), and most speeches and presentations are read, which seriously limits their impact.
There is a solution to this thorny problem, and it’s called the Earprompter.
The Earprompter is a system that allows speakers to deliver their presentations word-for-word, without memorizing or notes. This system combines miniaturized electronics with the latest speaking techniques, to enable people to become effective public speakers with just a half-day’s training. They can give their speeches, however long or technical, perfectly every time, with relatively little preparation… usually a matter of hours.
For the past twenty years, the Earprompter has been the best-kept secret of professional presenters and spokespeople. There were also a few businessmen and politicians who discovered that using this device gave them the edge they needed to be leaders in their fields. The Earprompter is also big in the convention and the acting worlds (Marlon Brando used it for twenty-five years), and is starting to make headway in the corporate and political worlds as well. Its uses are unlimited: making strong forceful presentations at meetings, speaking at fundraisers, delivering a consistent message on tour, speaking to stockholders, standing in for another speaker at the last minute, giving presentations in a foreign language… the list goes on.
Using this system allows the speaker to leave the lectern and notes behind, walk out into the audience, and deliver the message face-to-face, a style which is extraordinarily effective. The Earprompter allows the speaker to maintain eye contact with the audience, and really connect. It brings with it a large dose of charisma, a characteristic that is especially important when speaking to potential investors, stockholder and clients.
One very senior member of the Clinton administration had to deliver two or three speeches a day, each of them to different organizations, several times a week. He attended our training, and after giving his next speech, a member of the audience said, “Sir, I heard you speak a couple of months ago, and today you were absolutely riveting. You’re not the same speaker.” The official just smiled and said “Thank you!” And that theme has been repeated many times, both here and abroad.
So if you’re giving a presentation, and you absolutely, positively, have to get it right, the Earprompter can take a load of your shoulders, and your mind.
