How To Naturally Read a Video Script (Without Doing One Million Takes)

When I first started, I would spend hooours writing my scripts. Then I got the advice that you shouldn't write your script -- you should outline it! This was a game changer for me.
In this video, I'm going to cover everything related to presenting on camera, whether you should memorize vs teleprompter your scripts. We'll also cover how to write a video script since this is where it all begins! I'll explain when to fully write a video script vs. when to outline a video script. Then we'll cover tips for recording either option!
If you're looking to speed up your filming time, sound natural on camera and learn how to record a video without a million takes then this one is for you!

How To Naturally Read a Video Script (Without Doing One Million Takes)
• How To Naturally Read ...

[@Retipster]

Tip #2 has been absolutely HUGE for me. I’m terrible at reading off a teleprompter, winging it, and going off bullet points. Even after making videos for 7+ years, delivering in chunks is still the only way I’ve ever been able to make it work (and it actually works pretty well).

[@thecritterandthebutterfly]

The majority of our videos use voiceovers which are scripted and read off a monitor. Our on-camera footage is unscripted. You do a good job using the TelePrompter. Animated and engaging. The concentrated stare of reading gets to some people though. It depends on how sensitive your audience is to it and how long the shots are. I've suggested to on-air talent that they look away as if looking at back up notes occasionally whether they have them or not for extended shots. There are other ways, but just something to break the lock on the TelePrompter. It takes a bit of practice but can make a big difference.

[@Ben-us2ve]

Anybody else feel like they were having a staring contest watching this video

[@CRANEREVIEWS]

Ahahaha that made me laugh out loud! =D

[@ForcedPositivityMalayalam]

She's staring right into my soul. It makes me highly uncomfortable!

[@parody_pals]

HAHAHA

[@tmeriahkruse]

I appreciate her honest and warm gaze, personally

[@crosscourtrabbitcompletetennis]

Not at all. She comes across very engagingly.

[@markrogerson2026]

Some great tips, I dislike jump cuts ( or worse when people try to hide them with a with a 3 frame blur between clips ) so have been trying to record in a single take, but then i trip over a word after 5 minutes and it's back to the start! Love the simplicity of switching the framing - hides the joins really well without needing to change the camera angle at all. Have been thinking about a teleprompter too and this has encouraged me to try one.

[@theinvestmentdoctor8178]

This was EXTREMELY useful. Appreciate the effort you put in making such amazing video😊

[@Jghjkl829]

I had no idea my phone could even record in 4K. Thank you queen of tips

[@GerritSchulze]

I didn't know either. Even my vintage iPhone SE can do 4k at 30fps.

[@boltnut55]

Me neither!

[@ernielee-teacher2215]

This makes so much sense, I had been doing some of this, but you did a great job explaining why. Being consistent is the key. Keep up the good work- thanks for posting.

[@kelsiewilhoit7039]

Thank you for this! Filming my first videos for a course this weekend and feeling NERVOUS! I’ve decided I’m going to go line by line and edit using zooms like you did in the video. I like how that kept the visual interest & distracted from the cuts. Thanks for the help!

[@VictorPraizTech]

This really helped me.. I've been writing scripts as a young KZbinr... I definitely using outlines now. Thanks for this. I have subscribed.

[@louiseattzs]

Very helpful. Could tell before I ever finished writing one that outlining was for me, just didn't know how. The Delivering in Chunks points seems to make the most difference for me. Thanks!

[@ColinHoad]

This was really helpful, and you've pulled back the curtain on those 'B-roll' bits of footage and the zoom in / zoom out thing that I've seen in so many other KZbin videos - now it makes so much more sense! It's actually serving an editing purpose and isn't just about having more stuff going on in the video! That was a revelation - thanks for this huge tip 😀

[@grooveecard]

Nice video! Great info for those starting out or wanting to streamline their videos. I totally agree with what you have here. If you are one-man-banding your videos, you'll save time by knocking out a script--especially if they're smaller in scale. If you've got a lot of info to record, and you're used to presenting that info, then an outline will save you major time. It's up to us to find the right mix of efficiency.

[@michaelmarwick2247]

Hi Amanda, it is impossible to detect that you are using a teleprompter. You convey the impression of being supremely confident and supremely knowledgeable. I particularly like how you maintain eye contact throughout. Impressive.

[@thomassaylorrealtorlicense8763]

ditto that. Most folks would not think you were using a teleprompter, only that you are very confident in what you are saying. Nice goin'.

[@CityPrepping]

Great video! I find using a teleprompter with an outline super helpful.

[@JohnCunninghamTeam]

So....you have the outline itself on the teleprompter; great idea!

[@loaff83]

just got the app, its so helpful

[@angelaballard3929]

Yes, that'd be the way to go

[@peterwamae3169]

fantastic topic on how to read a video script. I really appreciate it as always. It's been a year since I made a video from the disruption of the covid 19. I've severally followed your videos and see how consistent you have been. thanks for keeping us posted.

[@fdprudhomme5586]

Oh my god, many thanks for this! The online teaching has been such a pain for everybody that I decided to script my classes and shoot them. Students love it but it takes me so much time!! Your tips helped me a lot and encouraged me to carry on. I will definitely watch your other videos to get more efficiency in my work flow. I am new to this but I think I am getting better everytime. Thanks again Amanda!

[@Altxfmradio]

7:29 minutes of time well spent great refresher for guy getting back into this stuff after 27 years. Thank you excellent work very pro.

[@GhostOnHiatus]

Outlining, zooms for jump cuts, batches of sentences, all very particularly useful tips. Yes I can tell you are using a teleprompter, it's the spacing between your words and it felt more clear, in a rhythm and concise but its best when it comes to how to and information videos. Great video, thanks

[@rootsofmoney7830]

Well said

[@ifocus1279]

Yup

[@krane15]

No you can't tell she's using a teleprompter. You can tell her speech is even and consistent and you surmise its due to pre written copy since most humans don't have speech that consistent and fluid.

[@CRANEREVIEWS]

@@krane15 yeah, I think you are correct on this one!

[@boltnut55]

Only because she didn't stumble through any of it :) I'd be all over the place!

[@OMGRaj]

I bought the Neewer teleprompter. Wrote a script for my product review video. There is so much information I can't imagine doing this type of video without a teleprompter. Since it will be my first product review video, I imagine I will get better at them and be able to flow with just an outline after some time and practice. Thanks for your great videos. They are helpful and insightful.

[@TheUnquietWriter]

Great tips, thank you. I’m working on more scripted content these days so ordered the parrot teleprompter and the remote you suggested. I love how compact it is.

[@t.ghoush]

I personally never scripted a video , but i always had the headlines written. But what a nice cheaper solution! for those who want such a tool ! Technology is making it easier than ever to create your own video world . Lastly, you are a very good storyteller ! Keep it up !

[@BrandonGrieve]

[@w2best]

I love outlining! It's working great for youtube - but for an online education I think it's harder to wing things. 10 min video content vs 60+ is a different game.

[@jmanchester]

Great info here! Teleprompters are great to keep you on subject and deliver precisely what you want to deliver but you are so right about having to make sure your script is on point and ready to read prior to recording. Love the content! Subbed!

[@LisaJeane]

Thanks for the video! I loved the idea about outlining and winging it. Great tips and advice for anyone getting started on YT!

[@Kdot992]

I've always found trying to remember a script word for word makes me come across a bit robotic on camera but maybe that's just me 😂 Thanks for the video, will be using the outline tip more and the chunking tip was gold!

[@americandean8083]

or just use ppt mirror tool to convert and invert the script you typed from powerpoint on your iPad or smartphone and use the device in a teleprompter if you want to avoid script memorizing and to read word for word, and the ppt mirror tool use bluetooth pageflip pedal to switch your slides during video recording.

[@benkeyes5010]

I'm definitely an outline presenter. I do both recorded content and live presentations/seminars. Outlining allows me to create a consistent message and improvise based on interactions and knowledge of my audience. I really enjoy your content, Amanda. Another great video! I'm curious about your vocal fry at the end of each sentence. I have been taught to "lower my tone" at the end of a sentence to sound more knowledgeable and in control. You always come across clear an concise (must be the great scripting!). Is that an intentional vocal trait?

[@cyberdragon5074]

I need subscribers and watchers. Never give up on your dreams. Strive for success. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sInVimCEg9ubasU

[@robbiegarnz7732]

That is a great point about the need to script. It’s a fine line between being natural and being succinct. I tend to ramble if I don’t have at least an outline. I’ve never actually scripted anything start to finish, but, since I’m a hiking and fitness vlogger, a lot of the content is loosely structured.

[@LinnRivers]

This video came at such a perfect time. I literally just ordered a teleprompter right before seeing this and I'm so excited. Love your energy and enthusiasm. ❤

[@The_Why_Girl]

Really enjoyed this video, Amanda! No, I couldn't tell that you were reading off a teleprompter :) How long does it take you to script your videos vs writing an outline only? Is scripting + teleprompter faster than outlining? Thanks for your work! New sub :)

[@tinonhamburo]

Me: Wanted to know how to read naturally. Brain: Listen to that amazing voice 😂

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodd1501]

You can just use an online telepromter

[@abolourian]

Loved this video! I had a lot of trouble memorizing scripts and it was always a disaster. Since I'm planning to start an online course, I was looking for ways to read the script and I think I'll follow your suggestion and will buy a teleprompter. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

[@techlitindia]

Thanks Amanda for explaining everthing in short and effectively.

[@DodaGarcia]

This is the first time I see your channel, awesome content and you’re so good-looking too!! (No hetero 🙏) As a musical artist I don’t usually have to shoot scripted videos and for livestreams with fans I usually use outlines, mostly because they involve interaction anyway. But then just as you said, for the broadcast version I always find myself having to edit out a lot of filler, dead air and repetitive parts even if I stayed on topic, apparently that’s just something we do? So thanks for the tip, now I’ll know to use a script when I have to shoot something prerecorded - seems like it’ll save me a lot of time.

[@CarlaCalderon]

I thought of writing a script and thought of even memorizing it. It seem like a lot of work so I ended up just wing it lol 🤣

[@ISPEAKGA]

I like to do my videos natural but sometimes the script is the best option

[@drentreprenuer]

But you can avoid the "uhm, ah, okay,". The natural ways of talking.

[@ISPEAKGA]

Phoenyx Academy sure

[@Sahanrealty]

It’s pain in the ass lol.

[@danielmadrid818]

@@Sahanrealty A real pain in the A* is when English is not your first language, but you insist on creating content in English. I see myself scripting and repeating over and over again HAHA. I want to share some memories and shots taken during my trips, music without voice or narration is not very engaging though.

[@AgnesMann]

I could not tell you were reading this at all! Such helpful tips yet again. Thank you Amanda.

[@Pollerizer]

I love your take regarding when to script and when to outline! I have a Parrot teleprompter, and agree with you that the remote that comes with it leaves something to be desired - button clicks are also loud. Hopefully not, or is at least less of an issue with the Ikan remote, which I’ll definitely look into based on your recommendation. Thanks, Amanda!

[@Anvyy]

I'm still kind of figuring it out. I feel like reading everything is great if your content is informative, but when it's for entertainment it makes you look robotic.

[@amitagarwalfitness]

Actually, even when it's for entertainment, u can make it sound entertaining. You need to speak with emotions while reading, using pauses, exclamations, and changing tone of voice as per situation... Then, it won't sound robotic.... I try to do that in some of my videos where I just read out.... And then it sounds fine...

[@krane15]

Not when its done right. What you're referring to is the limit of the presenter. Watch a newscast. You can immediately tell when they switch to improvisation (during transitions, e.g. news to weather/sports/etc.) The whole meter and tone changes.

[@cienciabit]

[@konrad7592]

I don’t know why there is still this myth of cinematic 24 FPS. I do not recommend shooting in 24 frames a second. Reason is: the majority of people is watching KZbin on their phones or tablets. Their native frame rate is 60 FPS, making 30 or 60 frames a second the only “correct” frame rate matching the screens frame rate. For every other frame rate, KZbin has to either drop a frame here and there, or double a frame. Depending on the content, it might look choppy. 24 frames a second is a cinematic frame rate which makes only sense on devices supporting it natively, which is not phones nor tablets and also not the majority of computers. Please stop shooting in 24 frames unless you specifically want to target cinema or projectors.

[@bruceyako3993]

24fps is a rate at witch our brain cannot detect changes in frames making videos appear smooth, Unless you are recording a fast action scene such as a car chase, 60fps is a waste of processing time, even then, your brain will fill in the details. Technology can change but biology stays the same.

[@konrad7592]

Bruce Yako 24 FPS is the framerate we BEGIN to see a series of pictures as a fluid motion. But you can DEFINITELY see the difference between 24, 30, 60 and even 120 FPS. Any gamer will tell you as well as any iPad Pro, OnePlus 8 Pro, etc. owner. Besides that, there is still the issue of doubled/skipped frames when watching 24fps content on a 60hz screen.

[@bruceyako3993]

@@konrad7592 you're confusing what the eyes can see with what the brain can translate. Do some more reasearch on how the eyes and the brain work, Stop listening to gamers lol.

[@konrad7592]

Bruce Yako I did my research. And besides that, I can safely tell you the difference between 30 and 60 FPS with my left eye while just woken up. Everybody can see the difference. That’s a fact. And there is STILL THE ISSUE that KZbin or the device you’re watching on has to ditch or insert a frame when displaying 24fps on a 60hz screen. 24 just cannot be evenly divided by 60. And that might cause the footage to look odd. You cannot argue with that.

Hello Amanda, what a relief. I have been making educational videos since 2015, I need 2 days for one minute of video, including scripting. But the most difficult thing I found were the intros and outros, n which I am to be seen myself. I'm German but record in English - many repetitions, slip-ups, glitches - annoying. I can agree with everything you said, from the stupid idea of talking directly into the camera at the beginning to the idea that teaching material should be based on scripts. This has the advantage of being able to publish the text as a book. Now I'm looking for a teleprompter and I stumbled over you. Thanks a lot for the video - great performance - very convincing! - Reiner

[@santiagorodriguesmanica6619]

Hi Amanda! I am new to your channel (actually; thanks, KZbin algorithm!) I am new to content creation and by far my biggest bottleneck is the script. I may spend a whole weekend writing and rewriting my script. Because my content is very technical and I want to deliver it as simple as possible to a broad audience. Sometimes it is very frustrating when you have lots of ideas and topics sitting there, just waiting for the right inspiration to be perfectly scripted. I should start trying some blended/outline method ;-) thanks!

[@ScreenActingSuccess]

Thank you, Amanda. I use an outline. And, I do not read it. I am an actor, so I comfortable on camera. When i screw up, I simply pause, hold my position, then continue where I left off in the same position so that I can make a relatively smooth jump cut. I recommend knowing all of your key talking points and learning to deliver each one different ways. That helps you to be relaxed on camera and to not worry about forgetting specific lines or words. It's the same approach i take to on camera acting auditions.
