Sideskick vs Throughline

The scene partner who never cancels. Sides Kick is the modern audition tool for actors. Upload your sides, pick a voice for every other character, and run the scene with an AI reader who's always on call. When you're ready, hit record — your AI reads opposite you while the camera rolls. One app. One workflow. No one else in the room. RUN LINES IN UNDER 30 SECONDS Drop in a PDF. Snap a photo of a printed page. Paste from your email. Import from a URL. Sides Kick parses your script, finds every character, and lays out the dialogue — automatically. Pick the role you're reading. The rest is on us. AI VOICES THAT ACTUALLY ACT Six expressive AI voices powered by the latest text-to-speech. Assign a different voice to every scene partner. Then dial the intensity: • Cold Read - flat, neutral, on the page • Natural - conversational, real-life • Emotional - pushed, charged, alive • Full Performance - the take, every time WORD-BY-WORD TELEPROMPTER Your line lights up word by word as the AI reads. Look up. Stay in the moment. The teleprompter waits for you to finish your line before advancing to the next - no awkward pauses, no scrambling for your place. SELF-TAPE WITHOUT THE SETUP One tap switches you from rehearsal to recording. Landscape framing. Camera rolls. AI reads opposite. Teleprompter overlays right where your eyeline already is. Record a slate with name, agent, and role — attach it to the take with one tap. Submission-ready. Every time. A LIBRARY THAT WORKS LIKE YOU DO Every take saves to your Tapes library.
