Before stepping into the world of online videos and storytelling, Emmy Award-winning anchor Andrea Morehead Allen was a familiar face in the local TV news scene.

But after a breast cancer diagnosis, she faced a challenge that many can relate to: the struggle with memory recall. The pressure of memorizing lines and facts began to weigh heavily on her. It became hard for her, turning what used to be easy into something stressful.

Not one to be deterred by an obstacle, Andrea searched for a solution that would enable her not only to create videos, but also to stay on point with her message and maintain her expert profile. Enter BIGVU teleprompter.  Over the course of more than five years, Andrea has been utilizing BIGVU’s teleprompter to enhance her work and establish a stronger connection with her audience.

    Imagine being free from the stress of memorizing lines while recording a video. With BIGVU, Andrea experienced that freedom.

    “I don’t have to stress about memorizing lines anymore,”

    she says, clearly excited. This new way of working helps her connect better with her audience and focus on the moment instead of getting stuck in her script.

    A great example of this change is her Soul Exhaustion series. Filmed in beautiful places—like her peaceful swimming pool or the relaxing beach—these videos really connect with viewers.

    “I get lots of compliments from people around the world,”

    Andrea says.

    The special backgrounds remind everyone how important mental health is and encourage them to find calm in their own spaces.

    What’s more, BIGVU gives Andrea complete control over her presentation. She says, “I LOVE the ability to change the speed of the prompter.” This lets her adjust how fast or slow she speaks, whether she wants to talk calmly or more energetically. The outcome? A smooth presentation that feels personal and engaging.

    With BIGVU, Andrea's productivity went up. She now makes at least six videos every day, able to focus on making great content instead of dealing with technical issues. She says, “It’s a really efficient system that has cut down the time I spend filming,” and she feels excited about all the creative options in front of her.

    Andrea's audience has grown a lot since she started using BIGVU. She saw more views and followers on her social media. "I really thank BIGVU for helping me reach more people," she says with a proud smile in her voice.

    "BIGVU lets you be your own boss!" she says, sharing how she feels about using the platform. It not only helps her communicate better but also allows her to show her real self, which she thinks is very important in today's online world.

    If you're thinking about starting video content creation, Andrea strongly suggests using BIGVU. She says it gives her "BIG SCREEN ENERGY" and "BIGVU ENERGY" to really show who she is. It's not just about the tools; it's also about connecting with people on a personal level.

    Outside of work, Andrea loves spending time at the beach and living a healthy lifestyle. As a breast cancer survivor, she enjoys activities that bring her joy and peace—something that shines through in her videos.
