Stops Picking Up Audio
Response from developer
Hey there, Yes - that’s right! We use an AI platform to generate the voices that pays the voice artists every time their voice is used. This increases our running costs substantially, is a trade-off that we are aware of, and have made to protect artists and be ethical in our AI use. We do have non-subscription options available though: you can purchase a ‘Pro Pass’ when you only need Linus for 3 or 7 days for an audition or self tape. But 10 lines is usually enough for an Ad audition! Good luck with your next auditions, and thanks for your feedback 🙏 - Alfred
Great line drilling app.
I’ll stick to cold read
This app seems like a banger , i no longer need to feed lines in , it’s just scans the sides and add the readers voice in. Super cool .
The issues began when i tried to self tape .
The app won’t always recognize the cue , and not moving forward with the scene, so i needed to start recording from the beginning, till i finally managed to record the whole scene, when i watched it , the AI voice sound glitchy (start quiet and then became louder) and then the then the readers line were overlapped my voice, so as i say my lines , the first half of the line my voice was silent .
I’m very disappointed with this, the experience was rather frustrating.
I’ll stick to cold read for now

Update: Closes the video out now with new update mid recording
Update: I never knew it was honoring my Phone Screen Lock setting, which it never did before. I had to turn it off manually. However Linus has already got back to me to let me know the latest update has fixed this issue because it never should have been doing that in the first place. Glad to know they are always reading the reviews and updating as necessary. Thank you! This app literally has everything, which is why I have always suggested it to my acting friends.

Hey TheAverageActor, I’m really sorry about this. Linus was honouring your iPhone’s Screen Lock setting when it shouldn’t have been, and we’ve now released an update that fixes it. Please update Linus and email us at support@getlinus.app so we can make this right for you. We hope to welcome you back now that it’s resolved. – Callan, (co-founder of Linus)
Reader Never Has A Headache
Update: having turned in auditions using Linus, I now have an agent. Not saying Linus will get you an agent, but it will help you to get those auditions out in a timely manner, and more auditions means more possibilities of bookings! I really enjoy the loop feature when I have the opportunity to play with many takes, it also means I am running my lines over and over. Linus should be in every actors arsenal of tools!

Tristaffer! This made us smile. We love that Linus has gone from being the backup reader to becoming part of the excitement around shooting an audition. This is what it's about! Thanks for taking the time to share this, and for having us in your corner. Callan (co-founder) :)
