Break down the sides. Learn your lines. Tape it with a real reader. Cut it and send casting one link. When you book it, go deep: ask the script anything, hear it like a table read, carry your notes to set or stage, and keep a journal of the whole year. Subtext is here for every inch of the actor's job. I've been in this business for over 20 years. In many ways, this is my life's work. I built what I always wished I had and now it's yours. Break a leg, Ali Momen Actor and maker of Subtext GET THE AUDITION IN Import your sides as a PDF, scan printed pages with your camera, or share them straight from Mail. Give Subtext its own address and casting emails arrive with the role, the due date and the breakdown already pulled out. When a new draft lands, Subtext shows you exactly which of your lines changed. KNOW THE SCRIPT Subtext reads your script and finds the characters, the scenes and the beats. Get a synopsis, then ask the script anything: what a line means, what led here, what the scene is really about. Answers come from the pages you loaded. Mark up the page with a pencil: highlight, underline, circle the turn. LEARN YOUR LINES Run lines hands-free with an AI scene partner that listens and answers when you finish. Pick a voice for every character by casting type. Paraphrase or strict, your call. Hide your lines, or show only the first letter of each word. Cut in over your reader and they trail off, like a person would. Loop a scene until it's in your body. Stuck? Say "Subtext, line?" and you'll hear the next three words. Every run gets a score and a list of lines to drill. READ WITH A REAL PERSON Send a friend a link. They record the other lines in their browser, no app and no account, and their voice plays when you rehearse and tape. Or read live together on video, with the script moving as you both speak. Film on your phone or your own camera, and their clean voice is mixed into your take. No one free tonight? Record the other lines in your own voice. TAPE IT A self-tape studio with a teleprompter that scrolls your lines while you film. Use two devices with the Rig: one films, the other holds your lines, plays your reader and rolls and cuts. Mark your print, trim, add your slate, clean up the audio, and export named the casting standard way: Your Name, Character, Project. Share one link casting can watch in any browser. VOICEOVER BOOTH Record VO with the script scrolling in front of you. Studio Sound makes it cleaner and fuller. Export an MP3, or separate files for every take. OWN THE ROLE Drop notes anywhere on the page and keep them in your Notebook. Hear the whole script performed in a table read. On iPad, Stage Mode turns it into your script: hold to read, turn pages with your thumb. YOUR JOURNAL Every tape you send lands in your Journal with the date and the part. Log the rooms, the callbacks and the coaching sessions by hand, and mark what came of each one. Search by project, role or casting office, so when an office calls you back you know what they asked for last time. And keep the work in between: a line that stuck, a note from class, a picture of the coat that's exactly the character. It counts how many times you went out. It will never show you a percentage. YOUR WORK STAYS YOURS Your scripts never train an AI model, and neither does your voice. No AI voice ever goes on your tape: a tape is a performance, and your reader is a real person. FREE TO START Your first two scripts are free. Go unlimited with a Subtext membership, monthly or annual, with a free trial. Members' scripts, notes and progress sync across their devices through their own iCloud. Terms: https://getsubtext.co/terms Privacy: https://getsubtext.co/privacy
