Audition Buddy reads every other role aloud, so you can self-tape any script, at any hour, without a reader. It is eleven at night, the sides came through at six, and the tape is due in the morning. Nobody is free to read with you. Audition Buddy is the scene partner who always is. Upload the script. Audition Buddy reads it, finds the scenes, and works out who is in them. Choose the character you are playing. Every other role gets a voice, and you choose how each one sounds — mood, energy, and which voice reads it — because a reader who rushes you is worse than no reader at all. Then tape it. Your lines scroll on screen while the camera stays on your face, so your eyes stay on the lens instead of a page just out of frame. Pick the pace before you start and it holds it: slow to find the scene, natural to run it, brisk when you already know it cold. Watch the take back straight away. Keep it, retake it, or record five more. Every take is saved under its script, scene and character, so the one you want at four in the morning is the one you can actually find. Download it in full quality or send it straight to your agent. Record your slate once — name, height, location, agent — and it is there for every submission after that. When you're not taping, the Search tab carries a reading list on auditioning, self-taping and the craft — pulled from working actors' own sites, updated through the day. WHAT YOU GET FREE Your first script is free, and it stays free: unlimited takes, unlimited retakes, and AI co-actors reading every other role, for as long as you keep it. Uploading, reading and organising scripts are free forever, on every script. AUDITION BUDDY PRO Pro unlocks recording on every script you upload, not just your first: • Record every script, not just your first • AI co-actors read every other role aloud • Unlimited takes, downloaded and shared in full quality Pro is a monthly subscription and renews until you cancel. Cancel any time from your Apple Account settings. BUILT TO BE PRIVATE No trackers, no analytics SDKs, no advertising. Your scripts and your takes are files on your phone. An account exists so you can restore them later and so the co-actor voices can run — nothing more. You can delete your account, and everything held for it, from inside the app. Made for actors who tape their own auditions.
