The Need A Reader Actor App is the first app to connect actors with readers for auditions, self tapes, classes, rehearsals and practice. Actors get the help they need, and readers get paid. This free download on iOS allows actors to join the Need A Reader acting community, and choose a reader that works for you, or even become a reader yourself and GET PAID! Simply register once to become both a user and a potential reader for hire. Review an actor’s resume, skill set, and rating with just a few quick taps on your phone. Swipe right, add your job details, hire and schedule – it’s that easy! As a former casting director in Los Angeles and a current acting coach in NYC, I created the Need A Reader Actor App to allow actors the opportunity to practice when they want to, rehearse when they need to, or self tape when they have to, all on your phone.
