You know this moment.
You got your sides at 6pm. Your audition is tomorrow at 10am.
You need a reader.
Your usual scene partner is busy. Your roommate doesn't know the material. Your coach isn't available. So you end up recording take after take — mumbling the other lines yourself, losing eye contact every time you glance at the page, submitting something that doesn't show casting what you can actually do.
So you go looking for a line memorization app.
And every one of them just scrolls text at you.
You don't need a reader who's available.
You need a reader who's always available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about self-taping without a reader.
A regular teleprompter just scrolls text. I Need A Reader also reads the other character's lines back to you — in a real-sounding voice, at the timing you set. It's a scene partner and a teleprompter in one tool. Generic teleprompters were built for YouTubers. This was built for self-tapes.
That's exactly who this was built for. No scene partner needed — ever. Upload your sides, set up the AI reader for the other character, and record your audition at any hour. The reader never cancels, never rushes you, and never gets tired of doing another take.
No — and here's why: when you're not fighting to remember your next line, you have more of yourself available for the actual acting. Most actors find their performances improve because they can finally focus on listening and reacting instead of mentally cuing the next line.
Your scripts are never used to train AI models, never shared with third parties, and never stored beyond your session unless you choose to save them. When you delete a script, it's permanently removed from our servers. This tool was built for the reality of professional acting — confidentiality is not optional.
You record the other character's lines in your own voice at your natural pace. The AI transforms that recording into a character voice — male, female, or neutral — while preserving your exact timing. Your scene partner sounds like a real actor who read the script, not a robot reading text.
