The Ear Prompter is the magic bullet at auditions that have cue cards filled with wall-to-wall copy! It's just like having your own personal teleprompter in your ear! It's a skill that is a must for the TV Host / Commercial / Corporate Industrial actor and yes it can even be used at some legit auditions! Have you ever had an audition where you had so much copy you felt you were in over your head or unprepared? With an Ear Prompter you can easily record your copy, play it back in your ear, and mimic it back as if you've known it your whole life, giving an audition that seems totally memorized or improvised. NEVER have to look away at the camera to look at that cue card again. Producers love actors that use Ear Prompter because it saves them time and money!! Clients won't have to hire a Teleprompter Operator and rent costly Teleprompter equipment if they hire a talent who brings their own Ear Prompter! You can use your Ear Prompter in places a Teleprompter could never be set up, like on the beach, in the middle of Times Square, etc. Plus you'll never look or sound like you are reading because you're not!!!
