The production requested a self-tape
Devin Brooks opens the Sides talent app on iPad. The request that arrived from the Wander & Fork producer in Flow 1 is waiting, with everything needed to prepare in one place.
The marketplace request and the preparation tooling are the same product. When a producer requests a self-tape, the performer does not leave to a separate app, a separate reader, or a separate editor. Preparation begins where the request landed.
Import the sides, mark strikeouts, choose the character
Devin imports the co-host scene, hides cut lines with a tap, and selects which character to read. The character Devin chooses is the performer. The other character is handed to the AI reader.
Selecting CO-HOST tells Sides which lines belong to the performer and which belong to the reader. That single choice configures the teleprompter and the AI voice in the next step.
You read CO-HOST. The AI reader takes HOST.
Teleprompter with a live AI scene partner
The patent-pending fade-in-place prompter holds each line at the eye line and fades to the next, so the gaze never leaves the lens, while the AI reads the HOST lines aloud. Devin can switch the reader's voice to match the character. This is the feature that makes a Sides submission better.
Press play to start the read. Each line fades into the eye-line position and the AI reader speaks the HOST lines. Switch the voice to feel the reader change character.
Record, review with auto-trim, submit to the pipeline
Devin records the take with the AI partner, reviews it with auto-trim that removes dead air at the head and tail, and submits straight back into the Wander & Fork opportunity pipeline from Flow 1.
The take returns to the same opportunity record the producer is reviewing. The submission arrives with full casting context attached, landing in the producer's review where it belongs.
An AI reader on its own is a clever trick. Inside Sides it lands with the role, the scene, and the opportunity attached. The performer prepares with a real scene partner and submits in casting context, so the producer receives a tape that already belongs to the pipeline.
