The problem

Reading sides with a wall is killing your auditions.

Friends are busy. Roommates can't hold eye contact. Your grandma won't pick up the pace. You need a partner who shows up, knows their cue, and looks the part so that you can focus on the rest.

How it works

From sides to tape, in three beats.

01

Drop in your sides

Upload a PDF or paste the text. We pull characters and lines automatically.

02

Cast the partner

Pick the role you're reading, then dial in voice, build, wardrobe, age range, and key light until the partner looks and sounds fit for the scene.

03

Run the scene

Rehearse off-book on your laptop. Switch to Self-Tape mode when you're ready to film.

Features

A scene partner that actually plays the scene.

Holds for your cue

Tunable strictness — Loose for organic overlaps, Strict for tape pacing.

Takes direction

Hand the partner notes between takes: 'more grounded,' 'land the button,' 'whisper this one.'

Hide the script

Blur the panel, or only surface lines on cue when you stall. Build muscle memory faster.

Pace control

Slow the read down for cold work or push it up to broadcast tempo.

Multiple voices

Match the partner's voice to the scene. Adjust the read style without restarting.

Customizable appearance

Cast the look: build, wardrobe, age range, and key lighting. Your eyeline fits the scene.

Self-tape mode

Distraction-free UI for tape day. Phone films, laptop reads. We never record video.

Direction, between takes

Talk to the partner like a reader.

Quick chips for common notes, or type your own. The next take adjusts — same scene, new shape.

Take 03 · between

  • You

    Take it again — slower, more grounded. Don't push the anger.

  • Partner

    Got it. Holding for your cue.

  • You

    Try a longer pause before 'I'm taking the job in Lisbon.'

  • Partner

    Adjusted. Picking up from line 6.

Phone + laptop

Tape on your phone. Read on your laptop.

Frame your phone for tape. Park your laptop just past the lens — that's the partner, and that's your eyeline. ActAcross never accesses your camera; the laptop is purely the read.

Phone placement

  • • Phone at chest height, framing for tape
  • • Laptop just past the lens — partner sits there
  • • Eyeline drifts to the laptop, not the camera
