My little desktop sound booth unfortunately is too tall to mount a script above it. What I have started doing is sending my script to my iPhone and reading from that. It allows me easier placement (as the screen is much more narrow than a sheet of paper) and I don't have the problem of flipping a page prematurely and having that sound register in my recording (amateur mistake). I can even use iPhone software that will auto scroll my script for me, like a mini teleprompter. You have to love the democratization of technology! :) Hey Ben, thanks for the comments.

I see so many inexpensive setups that just plain work <i>well</i>. It looks like yours is another to be added to that list. One thought I had: Can you somehow setup your script above your sound booth? I'd imagine that would keep from getting crosseyed by the end! Chris,
