Your audition. When you are ready. Import your audition sides, choose your role, and record. SelfTape Studio reads the other characters' lines aloud and waits for your turn. You can work through the scene on your own schedule, with a reader that never gets tired. FROM SIDES TO A SELF-TAPE Import your sides and the app identifies the characters and separates the scenes. Choose the part you're playing and voices are assigned to the other characters. If a line belongs to the wrong character, you can correct it before recording. TAKE YOUR TIME Try a different approach. Record another take. You can keep working with the same imported script without spending another credit for each recording. REVIEW AND SHARE Watch your saved takes, choose the one you want, and send wherever the audition asks. Your videos are saved on your device. TRY A SCENE FIRST The app includes 10 practice scenes. Choose either role and record as many takes as you like. These included scenes are free. Sign-in is required. SUBSCRIPTION AND CREDITS Your first import is complimentary. After that, the monthly subscription includes 5 credits each month. One credit lets you import one PDF. If you need more, you can buy additional credits in packs of 3. Credits are for importing PDFs, not for recording takes. You can rehearse, record, review and export more takes of an imported PDF without using another credit. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm a purchase. The monthly subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Current prices are shown in the app before purchase.
