Cue. Your reader always shows up.

Most self-tapes get made the hard way. You talk a roommate into reading, or you record the other lines on your phone and act against your own voice, or you just hold the pages and hope casting forgives the eyeline.

Cue is the reader you always wish you had: ready at midnight before a deadline, patient through take twelve, and never in the room when you want to try something weird. The performance is yours. Cue handles the rest.

Built independently, with respect for the craft.

From sides to sent in three moves.

1.BRING YOUR SIDES

Paste the text, drop in a PDF, or snap a photo of the printed page. Cue reads the formatting, finds the characters, and lays the scene out like real sides.

New scene screen: paste text, import a PDF, or scan a printed page

2.CAST THE VOICES

Say which part is yours. Give everyone else a voice, set the cadence and tone, or write a director's note and hear the lines performed that way.

Customize voice screen: pick a voice, set cadence and tone, write a director's note

3.ROLL

Every scene gives you three ways in: hear it, run it, or tape it. The teleprompter holds your line near the lens and your scene partner answers on cue.

Scene hub: Table read, Run it, and Tape it, with cast and the full script

Learn it. Live in it. Tape it.

Three ways to run a scene, depending on where you are and how much time you have.

TABLE READ

Hear the whole scene

Every character in a distinct voice while the script follows along, word by word. Learn it on the couch, in the car, in line for coffee.

Rehearsal mode: your line is up, the cue light is on, and Cue is listening

RUN IT

Rehearse without the camera

The cue light comes on for your line and Cue listens for the end of it, hands free. Run the scene until it sits in your body.

The take editor: your take and reader lines on a timeline, with split, text, and lower third tools

TAPE IT

Record, then finish it

A clean take with your eyeline at the lens. Afterward, cut the take, slide reader lines on the timeline, add a name slate, and export.

Built around how actors actually work.

On cue, every time

Cue listens for the end of your line and takes the next one. No tapping, no glancing away, no rhythm broken. A tap always works too.

It waits for you

A dramatic beat is not a missed cue. Cue follows the line, not the clock, so you can take the moment the scene deserves.

An eyeline casting will notice

Your next line sits near the camera, so your eyes stay in the scene instead of drifting down to the page.

Direct the read

Write the voice like a director's note: a gravelly old detective, world-weary, speaks slowly. The reader performs the lines that way.

Or read it yourself

Any character can use your own recorded lines instead of a reader voice. Record them once and act against them in every take.

Deadlines on the page

Give each scene a due date and see at a glance what needs taping first. The night-before scramble gets a little calmer.

The edit, without the laptop

Cut the take, move reader lines on a timeline, balance their volume against yours, and drop in a lower-third slate.

One file, ready to send

Export a single video with the reader mixed in and leveled to your voice. Upload it and get back to your life.
