In case you didn’t know, “Autocue”
is a name commonly given to the computerised prompting system used by

of your script and it scrolls upwards as you talk. The Autocue operator
follows your script and ensures that no matter how fast or slow you’re
talking, the Autocue keeps up with you. But if you don’t use it
convincingly, your presenting will look flat and stilted...
