YOUR READER
Ready when you are. Built around your performance.
Self Tape Partner is your reader for rehearsal and the self-tape itself. Work on the scene, explore different choices and shoot when you are ready.
A reader when you are ready to shoot
Self Tape Partner reads the other characters while you rehearse or record your self-tape, so you can begin when you are ready.
Try the scene different ways
Explore different rhythms, intentions and emotional choices. Change your approach and discover which version best supports the performance.
Keep the process in your hands
Adjust the reader’s pace, pauses and timing, then repeat the scene whenever you need another run or another take.
HOW IT WORKS
One setup from the first read to the take you send
Add the scene, choose your role and shape the reader around your performance. Then rehearse, explore and record without changing your workflow.
Check the scene
Review the dialogue, character names and speakers before you begin. Correct anything that was set up incorrectly and choose the role you are performing.
- Review dialogue and character names
- Correct speakers and scene content
- Choose the character you are performing
Shape your reader
Set up the other characters so their voices, pace and pauses give you the space you need to perform the scene.
- Choose voices for the other characters
- Control pacing and pauses
- Adjust the reader around your performance
Rehearse and shoot
Use the same reader setup to rehearse, try different choices and support your performance while recording the self-tape.
- Repeat the scene when you need another run
- Explore different performance choices
- Use the reader while recording the take
Available for iPhone and iPad
Download Self Tape Partner, set up your scene and use it as your reader while rehearsing or recording your self-tape.
Rehearsal and choices
Use repetition to build a stronger take
Self Tape Partner gives you the freedom to repeat the scene, explore different choices and adjust the reader before deciding how you want to perform the take.
The reader stays consistent. Your choices can keep developing.
Try another version
Repeat the scene with a different intention, emotional direction or pace and compare how each choice changes the performance.
Adjust the reader
Change the reader’s pace and pauses when the scene needs more space, more pressure or a different rhythm.
Prepare for deeper collaboration
Notice which choices work, where you feel stuck and what you want to explore with a coach, teacher or human scene partner.
Human collaboration still matters
A human reader can bring spontaneity and real response. A coach can help you work more deeply with character, conflict, relationship and performance. Self Tape Partner gives you a reliable reader when another person is not available and supports the work you do between those collaborations.

OUR STORY
Built from a real actor's problem
Self-tapes often come with short deadlines. You can be ready to work, but still have to wait because no reader is available at the same time.
Self Tape Partner was created to give actors a reliable reader they can use when they are ready. Set up the scene around your performance, rehearse, explore different choices and record the self-tape without having to organise the entire process around another person's availability.
