How it works

Add your script, bring your reader, press Play

An audition reader in three steps, all in your browser - no signup, no AI voice.

  1. 01

    Paste your sides or drop a PDF

    Drop a PDF of your audition sides onto the page, or paste them as CHARACTER: line text - parsed into your scene automatically, ready to rehearse in seconds.

  2. 02

    A line reader in a real human voice

    Record or upload real audio for every line that isn't yours - no casting a stranger. Your reader plays back on cue while you perform your own lines live.

  3. 03

    An audition reader that listens back

    Press Play and the line reader follows you word by word, advancing the moment you finish and cueing your reader automatically - the same turn-detection engine behind linespeaker.com's platform.

Everything it does

A self-tape reader, built for the room

One tool for rehearsing auditions and shooting self-tapes. Private by default, free to use, and yours alone.

Private by default

Here is exactly where your data goes, and where it does not.

Stays on your device
Scripts you paste or type, your webcam takes, and the speech recognition that follows your voice all run in your browser. They are never sent to us.
PDFs, and nothing else
Upload a PDF and we use it only to read out the text, then delete it automatically within 30 days. It is the one thing that reaches our servers.
No AI training
Your scripts and your recordings are never used to train AI models.
One scene, three ways to work it

Reader, teleprompter, line learning

The same script drives all three. None of them needs an account.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything actors ask before running an audition scene through AuditionLead's self tape reader.

What is AuditionLead?
AuditionLead is a free self tape reader for actors - a line reader and a voice-tracked teleprompter in one. Paste or upload your sides, upload or record real audio for your reader, and run a line-by-line rehearsal that advances as you speak.
How does AuditionLead work?
Add your script, pick the character you're reading, and attach audio for every other character's line - recorded in-app or uploaded. During a rehearsal, your line reader plays each reader line on cue, then listens as you read your own line and advances automatically when you finish, or after a timer if you'd rather not use your microphone.
Can AuditionLead run lines with me online?
Yes - that is the whole app. Upload or record real audio for every other character, pick the part you're reading, and AuditionLead plays their lines on cue, then listens and waits while you say yours. The reader's voice is one you recorded or uploaded yourself.
Can it read lines with me when I don't have a scene partner?
That is what it is for. Record a friend reading the other parts, or read them in yourself, and AuditionLead runs the scene back with you as many times as you like - at any hour, with nobody else in the room.
How do I add my script?
Paste your scene as CHARACTER: line text, or upload a PDF of your sides (up to 10 pages) and the scene reader parses it for you. Stage directions in parentheses are recognized automatically and skipped during rehearsal - there's no support for uploading a photo of your script, only pasted text or a PDF.
Does AuditionLead have a voice-tracked teleprompter?
Yes - the teleprompter tracks your speech line by line as you read, highlighting where you are and advancing when you finish, using the same turn-detection engine behind linespeaker.com's platform, compiled to run in your browser.
What languages does AuditionLead support?
Speech recognition currently listens in English. In the future, support will be added for other popular languages.
Can I record a self-tape while I rehearse?
Yes. Turn on Record mode to capture your camera alongside your microphone and your reader's audio, mixed together in the browser - a self tape reader and a self-tape recorder in one session. Rehearse as many takes as you like and download the finished tape when you're done.
