Tips that work
1Script the first 15 seconds word for wordYour hook decides whether people stay. Bullet-point the rest if you like, but write the opening out in full.
2Read at 140–160 wpmThat's natural talking speed for most creators. Slow down for tutorials, speed up for punchy shorts.
3Keep the text near the lensUse a narrow Text Area so your eyes stay close to the camera.

Questions
Do YouTubers use teleprompters?
Many do, especially for tutorials, explainers and sponsor reads, because it keeps videos tight and cuts retakes.
How do I not look like I'm reading?
Keep the text close to the lens, read a little slower than you talk, and mark pauses with [PAUSE] in your script.
