blablabla

Free original two-person casting sides for film and TV auditions

blablabla is a rehearsal app for actors, and these are its free practice scenes. These original scenes are built to feel like the sides actors receive for real film and TV auditions: a quick setup, active conflict, a clear turn, and something worth playing in both roles. They cover the sort of family adventure, naturalistic YA, and prestige drama an actor might be asked to read when auditioning for productions from companies such as Disney, Netflix, and HBO. Pick either role, read the complete script, download it, or rehearse it in blablabla, which reads the other part aloud and waits for your lines. Use them to keep your skills warm and stay ready when a real audition lands. Reading and downloading need no signup.
