Since 2016, Slatable has helped actors create self tape auditions, even without a reader. We pioneered the ability to record professional auditions completely solo, eliminating the need to rely on others for a truly independent workflow. Built specifically for actors, the app combines recording, editing, and industry standards in one streamlined workflow. Whether you're at home, traveling, or on set, Slatable lets you concentrate on your craft, not the technical details of a self tape audition. Our SceneAudio feature allows you to self tape without a reader and with Premium's SceneAudio AI you can now convert your voice to sound like you're reading with another actor. Our innovative teleprompter lets you use PDFs, text or even scanned pages in camera or with a beam splitter teleprompter setup.  Created in collaboration with industry-leading casting directors and industry professionals, Slatable is the go-to app for aspiring and working actors around the world.
