Upload your self-tape and receive a detailed performance score with personalized coaching notes in minutes, not days. No more guessing whether your take was good enough. Know exactly where you stand and what to work on before you hit send. Every submission is scored across professional acting categories that casting directors care about most: • Emotional Authenticity - Are your emotions truthful, layered, and grounded in the scene? • Character Commitment - How fully do you inhabit the character's world, choices, and point of view? • Vocal Delivery - Is your voice dynamic, clear, and serving the material? • Physicality & Presence - Are you using your body, eye line, and spatial awareness effectively on camera? • Timing & Rhythm - Are your beats, pauses, and pacing working with the scene or against it? Each category is scored individually and combined into an overall performance rating, giving you a clear snapshot of your strengths and the specific areas holding you back. But scoring is just the beginning. Every submission comes with a detailed coaching breakdown - written feedback that reads like notes from a top acting coach. You'll get actionable advice on what's working, what needs adjustment, and exactly how to improve your next take.
