Actor Trade
ActorTrade is built on a free trade system. Every minute an actor reads lines for another actor, they earn a minute of their own rehearsal time that can be used whenever they’d like, or they can trade in their minutes for prizes.
When an actor wants to rehearse or self-tape, they simply open the app up and click the rehearse now icon in the menu bar. From there you’ll be guided through a series of windows that will bring you to a list of available readers. Choose the reader you want to rehearse / self-tape with and enjoy!
Once you’re connected with your reader, you will see all the scripts you’ve uploaded from your email. Share the PDF you’d like to work on with the reader and off you go. Change the view if you’d like, and end the session early if you’ve rehearsed enough. To self-tape, click the ‘self-tape’ icon during a rehearsal and the screen will change to record mode. Record, play it back to see if it’s good. Instantly save it to your phone so you can send it to anyone.
ActorTrade makes it very easy for actors to upload their audition material straight from their phones.
When an actor wants to read for others to earn minutes of their own (which can also be cashed in for prizes, we will get there) they simply open the ‘read for others’ icon in the menu bar, set their availability time and be alerted when an actor wants to rehearse.
If you have some spare time and would like to earn minutes of your own by reading lines for another actor, just click the ‘Read For Others’ icon in the menu bar. ActorTrade will send out a signal to the other members that you are available to read and you will be notified once an actor has requested to read with you. If you are still available to read, just hit the accept tab and be taken to the live-video stream.
Actors are able to trade in their earned minutes for prizes instead of rehearsal time, if they’d prefer.
ActorTrade is the only free rehearsal/self-tape app that works on a trading system. Join the revolution!

I definitely like the premise of the app and how it works. Very easy to use. Although, it keeps reducing minutes from my time even if I'm not actively rehearsing. If the app is open, my minutes are counting down. Makes it very hard to save them up/rehearse! Otherwise it's an innovative, GREAT idea!
App doesn't work. Waited 15 minutes for the all to locate a reader. Tried it both ways: 1. To be the reader for people and then 2. For a reader to connect with me for a scene. It never connected with anyone. App also takes over your pdf's on your phone. I have an android and whenever I tried to view a pdf it immediately opened the Actor Trade app which was annoying. Anyway, I'm not sure how other people have gotten this to work if at all. But that wasn't a great experience.
This is an absolute must have for All actors that are auditioning on the regular. Cannot express enough how important it is to have a reader, have a good reader, and be able to have access to readers all the hours of the day 7 days a week. With this app there are absolutely no excuses that you can't find a reader for your audition.
I absolutely love this app. It's innovative, it's very 2019. We love Dylan very much. Great community. I hope this app grows even more. Thanks Dylan!
App doesn't work, kicks you out in the middle of attempt to record. All the fake reviews are from employees. YouTube it, no one is using it..
you guys change the whole foundation of the platform and I wasn't even notified I have unlimited self tape minutes and I'm not allowed to use them because you change the price point at calculation
A superlative way to meet & work with amazing entertainment folks.
The best app I will always recommend for actors.
Sorry but i cant find how to use this app can u help me to get out of this 😣
For some reason I can't get in my account. If they blocked me because I didn't use it often is silly
It blocked me. I cannot sign in! I don't know where to contact either. So bad.
This is an amazing App! I cannot believe this meets my rehearsal needs! I love the privacy that secures any script being read and the details that make this a well thought out App! I absolutely recommend this to any actor struggling to find a rehearsal partner! This is Wonderful!
Love the live stream video service! Great idea! :)
This app is a lifeline for me! As an aspiring professional actor, Actor Trade helps me with line memorization and I get to rehearse with a real person, live!
This is a great tool, I dont even need to leave my House in order to rehearse and I dont even want to mention how happy my Girlfriend is not to get bothered any more.Cool
It keeps long and I keep waiting for rehearsal to be done... I got bored and uninstall it again...
Great app easy to use
I absolutely love this app. It's easy to use and fun for actors who just love acting while helping others or need a self tape. There are some glitches sometimes that can be a little frustrating but there is a group on Facebook where you can talk about it and get an answer pretty quickly. You also can use it for rehearse purpose, chat and plenty of other treats like getting reward. There are videos on how to use it in the Facebook group and if you missed them, just ask for it. I still can't get a ringtone or a notification directly on my phone, I don't know why, I allowed the app, I have to go on my computer then on the group to see if someone need a reader, but hopefully I will get help with this. And if you need a reader last minute, it's simply the best way to find someone almost instantly!
