Your questions, answered
Feel free to contact us with your ideas or questions!
What is a self-tape reader?
A self-tape reader plays the other characters in your scene while you record your audition tape. It listens to your lines, recognizes cues, and responds naturally so you can tape without needing another person in the room.
How fast can I get a tape done?
Most actors go from uploading sides to a finished tape in under 10 minutes. Drop your PDF, pick a voice, rehearse a few takes, and record.
Do I need someone else to read for me?
No. The line reader handles all other characters in the scene. You rehearse and record on your own schedule.
Can I record video from the app?
Yes. The iOS app lets you rehearse with the reader and record your self-tape from the same screen.
Does it have a teleprompter?
Yes. The built-in teleprompter follows your voice and scrolls with you. It's there when you need it.
Is the reader consistent between takes?
Yes. The reader delivers the same read every take, so the only variable is your performance.
What devices are supported?
The full self-tape workflow (reader + recording) works on iPhone and iPad. Rehearsal with the reader works on any device with a browser - laptop, tablet, or phone.
Is it free?
You can start for free. Character voices and extended usage are available through a subscription or one-time top-up.
What if I get sides last minute?
That's exactly what this is built for. Upload your PDF, and you're rehearsing in under a minute.
