Built by actors, for actors.
Designed to make solo rehearsal feel natural.

Linus was built by two Australian actors to reduce their audition anxiety, and help them learn lines and self tape faster.

Step 1

Upload your script

Linus handles PDFs and other script formats, including casting notes, stage directions, and imperfect formatting.

Step 2

Choose your character

Tell Linus who you're playing and choose voices for every other character in the scene.

Step 3

Run the scene

Press play and run your lines while Linus delivers the rest so rehearsals feel natural.

Linus listens to you and knows when you have finished before it jumps in. Just like a real reader would.

Self Tape Studio

No reader? No problem.

Linus lets actors record self-tapes directly in the app with an AI scene partner delivering the other lines on cue, so solo rehearsal and solo recording feel much closer to a live read.

The audio mix is tuned to keep your performance clear while Linus' voice stays natural, and doens't overpower the scene.

Frequently Asked Questions

Linus is an app platform for actors that helps you upload scripts, learn lines faster, rehearse with an AI scene partner, and record self-tapes without needing a human reader. It works across iPhone, iPad, Android, and web, so you can prepare auditions, run scenes, and share takes from one place.

Linus is designed to help when a human reader is unavailable, not to replace acting partners altogether. Actors use Linus to rehearse scenes, run lines, self-tape, and organize takes in one place. The app reads the other character's lines on cue, so you can practice at home, backstage, or while traveling without waiting for someone else to be free.

Yes. Linus is built to handle real audition material, including PDFs with casting notes, scene headings, and inconsistent formatting. After you upload a script, Linus identifies your character, separates scene partner dialogue, and prepares the scene for rehearsal so you can get to work faster.

Yes. Linus includes an in-app self-tape workflow that lets actors rehearse, record, review, and share takes in one place. You can use the smart teleprompter, cue off the AI scene partner, and keep recording hands-free with voice commands.

You can try Linus free with a 1-page scene and up to 10 lines, so you can test the rehearsal and self-tape workflow before paying. When you need more, you can choose a short pass for an active audition period or a monthly subscription if you want ongoing access.

Yes. Linus is built to support private rehearsal work, and your scripts and recordings are not used to train AI models. Public marketing content may be indexed, but customer scripts, self-tapes, and private app data are not intended to be treated as public training content.
