I’m a proud Certified Speaking Professional with the National Speakers Association, and I hang out with speakers all the time. So I’m sad that I haven’t partied with my friends to celebrate Professional Speakers Day (August 7).

If you record video to share, using a teleprompter can help you stay on track and sound more professional. The Teleprompter Mirror site has a phenomenal free online teleprompter. Paste your text into the site, then choose whether the text automatically scrolls at an even pace or advances as you speak by listening through your microphone.
