What is it?
Basically, the Ear-Prompter is a simple way to gain a huge competitive advantage on stage!
The Ear-Prompter is a mini ear piece, which hides in the ear canal and receives signals from a neck loop worn under the performer's clothing. An actor simply records lines on a voice recorder, plugs in the neck loop, and hears the script clearly in the ear!
This "new" performance tool has crept onto the scene. We say "crept", because those who are using it are getting a large share of the work...and they aren't generous about sharing their secret!
The Wireless Ear-Prompter has been the rule rather than the exception in the Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta markets for years.
Does it work? In an article in MARKEE magazine, Baltimore
talent Sherry Moseley said "I tried one out at an audition
three years ago. I blew my competition away, and I was
sold forever." Washington-based narrator/spokesman Mike
Handley has been an enthusiastic user for nearly ten years.
"My 'Ear' has been about the best investment I've ever
made. It strikes me as bizarre that a lot of talent don't
use it today when you consider the overwhelming competitive
edge it gives you. The competition thinks it ought to
be illegal!"
Over the years some actors have patched together make-do
units. But Chandler's INSTANT MEMORY SYSTEMS worked with
for years with labs to create a dedicated system tailored
to the specific needs of the performer. It is so well
received in the field that the company backs it up with a 15-day
"Satisfaction Guarantee" as well as a full, 3-month warranty.
