The best iPad apps for actors

ActorTrade, an iPad app for actors provides actors the opportunity to rehearse or self-tape with another actor any time they’d like, using our live-stream video service. This Actor Trade app 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. 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 
• Share the PDF you’d like to work on with the reader and off you go
• Record, play it back to see if it’s good
