CastPilot · Audition Prep · iPhone & Android
Upload sides.
Download your prep.
CastPilot is an audition-prep app for actors. Upload the sides and in about ten minutes you get one short self-tape dossier (6 to 12 pages) plus Scene Prep cards with a clear choice for every part of the scene.
Your first brief is free. Built by an actor, for actors. Also on Google Play.
Scene breakdown

What's in the way

Make the choices yours
Each Scene Prep card gives one answer. Tap Other reads for different takes, or Regenerate for a fresh one.
What it helps with
The quiet hour before the tape — organized.
Get oriented fast
Who's who, what's happening, and where the pressure is — instead of reading it ten times and hoping it lands.
Move from vague to specific
From "I sort of get it" to a point of view that can actually be played on camera or in the room.
Ready for the tape
Your dossier is built for self-tapes: what to play, where it turns, and what to try on the next take.
A repeatable process
Same workflow whether the sides land two weeks out or two hours before the tape.
Everything in one place
Your prep lives with the scene it belongs to. Pull it up right before you go.
Arrive with something to play
Not perfect. Not solved. Just prepared — with something specific to bring into the room.
Our approach
CastPilot doesn't perform for you.
It doesn't hand you the "right" answer, either. What it gives you is a structure — a place to think and decide.
Every choice in the app belongs to you. Keep it, change it, throw it out. The work is still yours — your instincts, your training, your read of the scene.
CastPilot isn't a substitute for a coach, a class, or representation. It's the quiet hour before the tape, organized.
Studios & coaches
A shared way to arrive prepared.
Teachers, coaches, and studios use CastPilot as a shared way for actors to arrive with the breakdown and choices already in hand — so the room can focus on the work.
