One thing leads to another

Ok, so I know I was fairly cryptic yesterday. Let me go into a little backstory. many moons ago, I made a few videos about my voice work and the amazing products in my store. If you still haven't bought something, you should be ashamed of yourself. when making those videos, I knew the general idea I wanted to convey but I never had a script and didn't edit the content to make it more seamless. The other day, I wanted to make a little longer video and there were some very specific things I wanted to talk about. I decided I needed a script. While I was contemplating that idea, I thought to myself, self, how am I going to read this without holding a paper or keep eye contact with the camera. I know, I need a teleprompter! That quickly got me thinking, are there teleprompter apps for the iPad? Lo and behold, there are! I started some research to try and see how they work. I found a couple that are voice-activated so they follow along as you read. That's when it hit me! I started experimenting with a couple apps. I found one that works really well for what I wanted. This is where the magic happened. Once again, I thought to myself, self, what would happen if I put my narration projects on the teleprompter? So, that's what i did. I tried a very short test. It seemed veryeffectivee. Normally ahalf-hourr block of text can take around two hours to record. The way I have done it in the past was to read a digital copy off my iPad like an e-reader. This morning I had some time and wanted a longer test. The segment that I recorded this morning was about 25 minutes long and only took me about 50 minutes to record.  I am very excited by the possibility that recording this way will cut my recording time in half! Granted I've only recorded one story at this point. I hope that this process will continue to speed up my recording. I did end up buying the app to be able to load more than one section at a time and to be able to use the teleprompter for more than 3 minutes. I felt that the $30 one-time price was more than worth it. That's all for now. FYI, while I do frequently use AI to make my posts a little longer and more engaging, this one was 100% written by me.
