Self-Tape With Actry: A Full Walkthrough

Recording a self-tape inside Actry - setup, framing, AI reader, and export.

Published December 21, 2025

Self-tape mode in Actry pairs the camera with the AI reader. No partner. No problem.

Self-taping alone usually means recording on your phone, then re-recording lines because the cue was wrong. Actry handles both.

The work, step by step

  1. Tap Self-Tape on a scene. Available in Premium.
  2. Set framing. Mid-chest. Eye line. Lock the camera position.
  3. Test audio. Wear earbuds. The AI cue plays in your ears, not the room.
  4. Record. Hit record. AI reader starts. You play.
  5. Re-record specific lines. Pinch a line; re-record only that one. Actry stitches.
  6. Export. MP4, 1080p. Submit through your portal.

Common pitfalls

How Actry fits in

Self-tape mode is Premium for a reason - it replaces a $40 reader fee per audition.
