It's no secret that business has slowed down, and every dollar must be examined twice, and then spent once.  That’s why so many clients are eager to hire actors who know how to use the ear-prompter.

I'd like to offer you new technology that can drastically reduce your production budgets, leaving more of each production dollar in your pocket.

What if you didn't have to rent a teleprompter and operator, use clumsy cue "cards," or rely on the talent to memorize tricky copy?

You'd save money.  Your productions would run more efficiently, end on time and under budget.  Editing would go more quickly because there would be fewer "busted" takes to patch together.

The tool that makes all this possible is the "ear-prompter," a remarkable tool I use to prompt myself, without needing cards, teleprompting or memory.

I've made the majority of my acting income using the ear-prompter on tradeshows, commercials and industrials, as well as teaching the ear-prompter class to others -click on demo to see a sample of my most recent work.

I have the capability of producing quality auditions tailored to your needs.  Just e-mail or fax the script and I can e-mail a digital image to your computer or have a VHS formatted tape sent right to your door.
