coldRead vs ActingPal

Smart, interactive must-have app made for actors by an actor. coldRead runs lines with users by responding to their cues just like a real reader would. Memorize, rehearse, and self-tape all by yourself. No internet connection, no email address, and no annoying signing-up process required. The lines you record aren’t sent or synced to the cloud - they stay on your device. Speech recognition happens on the device as well. coldRead runs on iPhones, iPads, and silicon (M-chip) Macs. coldRead Remote app is available for Apple Watch. Stop bothering your friends to read with you. Don’t spend money on time-limiting recording studios. Save money. Be independent. Save time. • EASY TO USE Record each line of your script and you’re all set. Lines will be transcribed as you record them. • ACTS AS YOUR READER When you say the very last word of your line (the cue), coldRead will “read” the following line back to you, just like a real reader would. • YOU ARE IN CONTROL Rehearse anywhere and anytime you want. Change the pitch, speed up or slow down. Be loud or be quiet. It will follow along. • BUILT-IN TELEPROMPTER Memorize your lines quickly and efficiently. Use the built-in teleprompter until you’re off-book. • SELF-TAPE Put yourself on tape for that last-minute audition or before you get into the room with a casting director.
