Will Roberts on Building My Audition Al: The App That’s Changing How Actors Prepare
Will, you’ve been acting for over four decades. What made you want to create this app?
After 40 years in the business from Oppenheimer to Studio City – I’ve seen one problem never change: actors scrambling to get ready for an audition with almost no time, no coach, and no reader. When I got the audition for Oppenheimer, I had less than a day to turn it around. Finding a coach for $175 an hour and a reader on short notice just wasn’t realistic. I needed something faster. That’s where MyAuditionAl.com came from necessity.
What does it actually do?
Think of it as your personal acting studio that never closes. You upload your sides, and the app helps you analyze your scene using the same methods top coaches use Stanislavski, Meisner, Adler, you name it. It helps you identify objectives, obstacles, and emotional beats so you can make real, confident choices as an actor. Then you can run your self-tape with an Al reader, so you’re not waiting for someone to hop on Zoom at midnight.
04 You can even get an evaluation on your performance, test out monologues, and build a professional actor profile that shows your range. It’s everything I wish I’d had years ago when I was sending tapes from hotel rooms or out-of-town gigs.
