How to use this on self-tape day. Pick the preset that matches the brief. Run the piece three times — first slow, second conversational, third at performance pace. The middle take is usually the one that lands closest to what casting needs.
Pair it with the Monologue Duration Calculator to sanity-check word count before you drill, and the Random Monologue Generator to pull a length-appropriate piece from our catalog. For an end-to-end practice loop, use the scene partner tool to rehearse the piece in dialogue context first, then time the solo take here.
Run Lines Online reads the other characters aloud — 20 unique voices, no scene partner needed. Free.
