• EASY TO USE
Record each line of your script and you’re all set. Lines will be transcribed as you record them.

• ACTS AS YOUR READER
When you say the very last word of your line (the cue), coldRead will “read” the following line back to you, just like a real reader would.

• YOU ARE IN CONTROL
Rehearse anywhere and anytime you want. Change the pitch, speed up or slow down. Be loud or be quiet. It will follow along.

• BUILT-IN TELEPROMPTER
Memorize your lines quickly and efficiently. Use the built-in teleprompter until you’re off-book.

• SELF-TAPE
Put yourself on tape for that last-minute audition or before you get into the room with a casting director. Take as many takes as you need, and take as much time as you want.

Exchange lines or folders with your friends in just a few taps, or change the pitch to make your voice sound different.

Keep saying offline language not ready

The app in general is really helpful but it sometimes stop working and keep saying “offline language not ready”. Utterly frustrating

Useful, but limited

It’s ok. Does what you need with a little tweak time, but not being able to manually trim audio is difficult. You can auto-remove silences at beginning and end, but an in app editor would be hugely useful.

Cuts off lines and sound when recording

When I self-taped with this and had a longer sentence of dialogue it would cut me off by coming in with the next line if I took even the slightest pause (it also cuts off your voice when the reader voice you recorded comes in, so you can’t then use that take unless you want to try some ADR). So I separated my sentences into separate lines and tried again but then sometimes it wouldn’t recognise the pause and would wait for me to say another line before coming in with the next reader line. So I tried adding pauses to the script instead (you can choose the pause length) to allow room for me to say my line the speed I needed without being cut off. But when I watched the tape back I realised that if you speak or have any noise during a pause (as well as a speaker line) the sound doesn’t get recorded so there were loads fo gaps in my dialogue. I had to give up after take 15 and called a friend to help me tape over Zoom as it allowed no wiggle room and I was always stressed about when the app was going to cut me off during a minor pause and it affected my performance. This app would be great if it could record the sound of your voice as well as putting in a pause or recorded line and if it recognised speech better so didn’t cut you off too early with the next line. Gutted because I loved the concept and this would have been a game changer for self-tapes! Will look into purchasing again if tweaks are made.

Disabled functionality

I paid for a 3 month subscription and just a few days after I received the Apple Pay bill for the subscription, ColdRead disabled all the functionality associated with my subscription. Not happy with this at all

Great app - helped me do what I thought was impossible!

I just wanted to say thanks to the developers for such a great app. I really struggle learning lines, and having been cast in a play with a quite frankly terrifying amount of text, ColdRead totally saved my bacon. It can’t be stressed enough how brilliant it has been to be able to rehearse ‘as live’ with other actors no matter the time of day or night. Recording the other actors’ lines was a bit of a faff but nowhere near as time consuming as I’d worried it might be. The voice recognition is very good once you’ve tweaked the odd line here or there, and having the teleprompter style text is a great crutch as you get started. I did have to alter the default speed slightly but that was easy. As an added bonus, you end up with a digital version of the script that, thanks to the app’s night mode style colour scheme, is perfect to have to hand in the wings if necessary for cues etc. Overall this is a great app I’d highly recommend.

Pricey!!!

Think it’s a great app overall, helps me get off script and I can see and hear the lines which are great so rehearsing is easy. Really great for self trapes. Price tho!! £75 for the year is extortion really for an app on a phone. Should be half that price for a year!

Really helpful

This is really good to help learning lines. Like anything that relies on voice recognition, it’s not 100%, hence not 5 stars, but it’s 95% there.

Needs some polish

I am based in UK with an English accent and was very excited to purchase this app and what a terrific idea to help the actor. However, whether you use the on voice or on cue mode, there are issues. Sometimes the reader line jumps in even before one has finished saying one’s lines, or one has finished saying ones lines and the reeder hasn’t recognised it and so one is left waiting for the reader line and thus messes up your self tape. I hope the app can be made more sleek soon as it’s too costly otherwise.
