Our Most Popular Teleprompter Services
We offer a complete range of teleprompter configurations to match any production setup. Every service includes a professional teleprompter specialist, software, and all necessary hardware for a full 10-hour day.
Rise/Fall Presidential Speech Teleprompter
Dual transparent glass panels positioned on either side of a podium, allowing speakers to address the room naturally while reading their script. The audience sees nothing but clear glass. Ideal for keynotes, political speeches, press conferences, and corporate events.
Through-the-Lens Teleprompter
The industry-standard on-camera teleprompter. A beam-splitter mirror mounts directly in front of the camera lens, so talent reads their script while maintaining natural eye contact with the viewer. Used for commercials, episodic TV, corporate video, and PSAs.
Academy Style Teleprompter
Large-format displays placed behind the audience, facing the stage. Speakers look out over the crowd to read their lines while appearing to make direct eye contact. Preferred for major award shows, concerts, and large-scale events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does teleprompter rental cost in Los Angeles?
LA Teleprompter’s basic package starts at $700 for a full 10-hour production day. This includes a professional teleprompter specialist, software, all necessary hardware, and on-site script support. Pricing varies depending on the type of teleprompter setup, the number of systems needed, and any additional operators required. Contact us at (818) 299-4450 or booking@lateleprompter.com for a custom quote.
Q: What does a teleprompter operator do?
A teleprompter operator (also called a specialist) controls the scroll speed of the script in real time, matching the talent’s natural speaking pace. They also handle setup and calibration of the teleprompter equipment, eyeline optimization with the camera department, on-the-fly script changes and re-writes, and troubleshooting any technical issues that arise during the shoot. A skilled operator is the difference between a smooth, efficient production day and one filled with retakes.
Q: How far in advance should I book a teleprompter?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekends and large events. However, we understand that production schedules change quickly. Contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline. We respond to all inquiries within 2 hours.
Q: What type of teleprompter do I need?
It depends on your production. For on-camera reads (commercials, corporate video, TV), a through-the-lens teleprompter is standard. For speeches and keynotes, a presidential teleprompter is best. For live events and concerts, confidence monitors or front of house displays are ideal. For documentary interviews, an interrotron creates the most natural results. Not sure? Call us at (818) 299-4450 and we’ll recommend the right setup based on your shoot.
Q: Do you provide the script or just the teleprompter equipment?
We provide the teleprompter equipment, software, and operator. You provide the script. Our specialist will load, format, and optimize your script for the teleprompter before the shoot begins, and will implement any changes or edits in real time throughout the production day.
Q: Can the script be changed during the shoot?
Absolutely. Real-time script edits are one of the most important reasons to hire a professional teleprompter operator. Our specialists handle on-the-fly changes, re-ordering, additions, and rewrites instantly on set.
Q: What areas do you serve?
LA Teleprompter is based in Los Angeles and serves productions across Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Las Vegas, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and nationwide for traveling productions.
Q: Do you work on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Production doesn’t stop for weekends or holidays, and neither do we. We have multiple specialists available and can accommodate shoots 7 days a week.
