Rehearse your lines. Record your self-tape. No reader needed. Snap a photo of your sides or drop in the PDF. Scriptmate reads every other part out loud and waits for your cue. NOTHING TO RECORD Most line apps make you record every character yourself before you can start. Scriptmate parses the script, finds the characters, and marks your lines. Import, tap your role, rehearse. Under a minute from sides to first run. PHOTO, PDF, OR TEXT Scan paper sides with the camera, import a PDF, or bring in a text file. Long script? Pick only the pages you need for tonight's scene. A READER THAT ACTUALLY HEARS YOU Scriptmate follows your speech word by word through the whole line, not just the last word. Drop a word, pause, or go up on a line, and it still knows where you are. Your reader answers the moment you finish your cue, whether you are off book or cold reading. Speech recognition runs on your phone. VOICES THAT SOUND LIKE PEOPLE English and Spanish scripts get natural voices with real rhythm and emotion, generated on your iPhone. Every character gets its own voice, and you can swap it any time. Prefer a human? Record the other parts yourself, one line at a time, and the reader plays your takes. SELF-TAPES WITH CLEAN AUDIO Put your headphones in and record. The reader plays in your ears and the camera mic picks up only your voice. Landscape framing is enforced, so casting never sees a vertical tape. No lines on screen while recording, so you stay in the moment instead of reading. FOCUS MODE Optional. Block distracting apps while you rehearse, and lift the block the moment you stop. FIVE LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, and Korean scripts, with cue detection in each language. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import your sides. Photo, PDF, or text in, parsed scene out. 2. Tap your character. Your lines are marked automatically. 3. Run the scene until you are off book, then record your tape. TRY IT FREE Run a full demo scene the moment you open the app. No account, no sign-up. Import your own sides and run them once, free. A 7-day free trial unlocks everything after that. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Scriptmate Pro: $9.99/month or $69.99/year after a 7-day free trial. Full access, no restrictions.

About

The Audition Log

Features
Read full description

The Audition Log is an audition tracker for actors on iPhone and iPad. Record every audition, who was in the room, what you wore, and how it went, then keep your monologues, headshots, resumes, and expenses in the same app. Never walk out of a room and forget everything again. LOG EVERY AUDITION Capture the details while they are still fresh: the project and role, who was in the room, what you wore, which monologue you performed, and how it felt. When a callback arrives weeks later, you will know exactly what you did, because you wrote it down. • Log theatre, on-camera, and voiceover auditions • Mark each one as an open audition (EPA, ECC, open call) or an agent call • Track the format: monologue, musical audition, readings and sides, pic and resume submission, or self tape • Attach sides, scripts, and photos to each audition BEFORE YOU WALK IN • Add the audition date to your calendar from the date field • Open the casting office in Google Maps with one tap • For self tapes, add the link and due date, then turn on Remind me and choose how many days in advance. The reminder goes into the Reminders app. CALLBACKS AND RESULTS Mark each audition Submitted, Pending, Callback, Offer, or Not right now. Choose Callback and add the callback date from a calendar and the callback location, with a Google Maps link. Your home screen counts everything automatically: total auditions, theatre versus on-camera versus voiceover, and every result. Tap any count to see just those auditions. MONOLOGUE LIBRARY Store your repertoire with a text editor (bold, italic, lists) and filter by classical, contemporary, TV and film, comedic, dramatic, or musical. Bring in text from PDF, Word, or plain text files. HEADSHOTS AND RESUMES Upload your materials once and preview any file. Select several and email them to a casting office or agent from inside the app. TRACK EXPENSES Log what auditioning costs: headshots, classes, travel, sheet music, theatre tickets, and more. Amounts format as currency as you type, and the list keeps a running total in date order. Export to Excel or CSV, or copy everything into a new Google Sheet. INDUSTRY RESOURCES Casting director directories for New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Florida, the Southwest, and Washington, DC. Agent and manager listings by city. Rehearsal and performance spaces in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Direct links to Actors' Equity Association, SAG-AFTRA, Actors Access, and Casting Networks. ICLOUD SYNC Your audition log, monologues, and expenses sync between your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. Uploaded files stay on the device you added them to. BUILT FOR ACTORS No subscriptions. No ads. No data collection. The Audition Log was built by an actor who was tired of losing the details that matter. Your data lives on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We never see it. Visit us at theauditionlog.com 2916 characters. ## Fixes to the current listing - The current description says everything syncs through iCloud. Uploaded files (headshots, resumes, sides) stay on the device, so the text above says that your log, monologues, and expenses sync and that files stay put. The website says the same. - The current resources paragraph leaves out Washington, DC. It is included above.
