Speaker Notes
The presenter’s notes in slide form viewable only to the presenter in the DSMs (downstage monitors).
Speaker notes in the DSMs are a discreet way for presenters to reference their talking points while still having the flexibility to walk the stage and maintain eye contact with the audience. This is not an ideal method of teleprompting because the presenter can only cue the graphics operator to advance either the speaker notes or the presentation slides. True speaker notes in script form should be done with a teleprompter.
Speaker notes have also been called kicker slides.
