Aside is a self-taping studio designed for actors. It gives you everything you need to prepare and record auditions without relying on a human reader. How it works: 1. Upload your script – Aside organizes the lines in your script. 2. Set up your self-tape – Use the selfie camera in the app to record. 3. Teleprompter view – Your lines are shown as you perform. 4. AI scene partner – Other characters’ lines are read aloud with natural voices, so it feels like rehearsing with a live reader. Additional tools for preparation: • Script analysis: Dramaturgical breakdown with character intentions, acting choices, and coaching questions from a Method perspective. • Line memorization: Practice with teleprompter guidance until you’re fully off-book. • Rehearse mode: Perform your role while AI reads the other characters.
