What Do Actors Need to Self-Tape Solo?

Linus combines cueing, recording, teleprompting, cloud review, and sharing so actors can self-tape without assembling a patchwork workflow.

AI Scene Partner

Your AI reader delivers lines naturally and waits for your cue before responding. Just like rehearsing with a real partner.

Voice Commands

Say "Hey Linus, record" to start taping hands-free. Control playback without touching your phone.

Smart Teleprompter

Lines scroll naturally as you perform so you never get stuck mid-take. Adjustable speed and positioning.

Record In-App

Record directly in the app with front or back camera. No switching between apps or external equipment needed.

Linus Cloud

Upload takes to Linus Cloud for easy review and organization. Access your tapes from any device.

Shareable Links

Generate shareable links to send tapes directly to casting directors, agents, or your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Linus gives you an AI scene partner that reads the other character's lines, waits for your cues, and supports both rehearsal and recording in the same workflow. That means you can self-tape on your own schedule without trying to line up a friend, classmate, or coach every time you have new sides.

Voice commands let you control the self-tape flow hands-free, which is especially useful when you are already framed and in character. You can say "Hey Linus, record" to start and stop takes without walking back to your device, making the process feel smoother and more professional when you are taping alone.

Yes. Linus works on iPhone, iPad, and the web, so actors can choose the setup that fits their space and workflow. Many performers like using an iPad for its larger screen during rehearsal and review, while others prefer using a phone for a more compact self-tape rig.

Linus Cloud lets you upload completed takes so you can review, organize, and share them from different devices after recording. Your self-tapes stay private unless you generate a shareable link, which makes it easier to collaborate with agents, coaches, or casting contacts without moving files around manually.

Yes. You can generate a shareable link directly from Linus and send it by email or message, which makes delivery much faster than exporting and re-uploading files elsewhere. Recipients can open the tape in the browser without creating an account, so the review process stays simple.

Yes. You can try Linus free with a 1-page scene of up to 10 lines, which is enough to test the rehearsal flow and the self-tape tools before committing. That gives actors a practical way to see whether the product fits their audition process without starting with a paid subscription.
