A real voice, not an AI one
Record or upload real audio for every line that isn't yours - no AI voice, no casting a stranger. Your reader plays back on cue while you perform your own lines live.
You said you would call.
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.
You said you would call.
I know. I sat there with the phone in my hand.
That is not an answer.
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.
Voice-tracked teleprompter
Your lines scroll on cue and follow your voice word by word. It keeps up through pauses, re-reads, and ad-libs, hands-free.
Your reader's real voice
Upload or record real audio for the other characters. Human voices playing on cue, never robotic text-to-speech.
Record self-tapes in HD
Roll your webcam while you rehearse, with your mic and the reader audio mixed in. Download the finished take, no watermark.
Unlimited retakes
Rehearse the scene and re-record as many times as you like. No take limits, no caps, no credits to spend.
Paste or import a PDF
Drop in a PDF of your sides or paste the text. Your scene is parsed and ready to run in seconds.
Free, with no signup
No account, no download, no plugins, nothing to pay. Open it in your browser and start reading.
Runs in your browser
Works online in any Chrome browser. Nothing to install, and nothing to configure.
Private by default
Paste or type a script and nothing leaves your browser. Your webcam takes stay on your device, not our servers.
Not used for AI training
Your scripts and your recordings are never used to train AI models.
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.
Reader and teleprompter
The same script drives both. Neither one needs an account.
Reader
Rehearse against your reader's real audio. Upload or record the other character's lines, and they play on cue while you act - then it waits for yours.
Teleprompter
Your lines scroll on cue, following your voice word by word. Hands-free - no remote, no foot pedal, no timer running away from you.

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.
- 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.
