Subtext: The Actor's Toolkit

The greatest app for actors, period. Get the role, learn the role, own the role—scene partner, self-tape, table reads, sides, and more, all in one place.

Built by a working actor, for working actors.

Sides land at 4pm, the audition's at 10am, and there's no one to run it with. Subtext is the reader that's always with you — on the train, the night before, backstage. Drop in your pages and run the scene out loud, right now. Rehearse it, tape it, send it — all in one place.

A PARTNER, ANY HOUR. Every other part is read aloud in an expressive AI voice. Say your line, the mic listens, and your words reveal themselves one by one as the scene moves with you — hands-free, take after take. It's how a scene gets into your body.

HEAR THE WHOLE SCRIPT. Hit Read-Through for the entire scene aloud — every character in their own voice, a narrator reading the action. A table read in your pocket.

READ WITH A REAL HUMAN. When it counts, run it against a person. Send anyone a link — they record the other lines right in their browser, no app to install — and their real voice reads with you, in rehearsal and on every self-tape.

TAPE IT. SEND IT. Your self-tape studio too. Record in landscape with a teleprompter that scrolls to your voice. Do as many takes as you want, trim each clip, add a clean cut or fade, and export to Messages, Mail, or Files — first take to send, all in one place.

VOICEOVER, STUDIO-READY. Lay down VO auditions scene by scene, pick your best take, and trim it on the waveform. Turn on Studio Sound and each take is polished to studio quality — tuned to that recording, not a one-size stamp — then it all exports as one clean MP3.

GO OFF BOOK — FAST. Hide your lines and speak them from memory. Blanking? Peek a hint, or switch to First-Letter Mode for the long passages. Every pass is faster than the last, until the part is yours.

DROP THE PDF. WE READ THE ROOM. Upload your sides exactly as they landed — START and END marks, FYI brackets, even the scribbles. Subtext lifts out each scene. On a full script it finds the scenes you're in, so you're not scrolling past eighty to reach your three.

MARK UP YOUR SCRIPT. Pick your character and every line lights up. Highlight, underline, circle the turn, scribble the beat — your marked copy travels with you.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING. Subtext reads the scene and hands you the given circumstances — context, relationships, stakes.

KEEP YOUR GIGS STRAIGHT. Group scripts into Projects, search by title or character, and file each audition under its gig. Plus casting calls and industry headlines for your region on the Today tab.

FROM THE ACTOR WHO BUILT IT: "I've been a professional actor for more than twenty years. Subtext exists to take you deep into the text — whether you're learning an audition the night before or stepping onto the set or the stage." — Ali Momen

Learn the lines. Rehearse the scene. Own the role.

Subtext. Your scene partner, always. ———
