Turn Your Screenplay Into a Polished Audio Experience Execs Will Actually Listen To

Turn Your Screenplay Into a Polished Audio Experience Execs Will Actually Listen To

12/9/2025

Many execs and development teams now listen to scripts the same way they’d listen to a podcast or audiobook. It’s faster, it fits around their day, and it helps them feel the tone of a piece straight away. If you can hand someone an easy, engaging audio version of your script, you make it far more likely they will take it in quickly — and properly.

Table Read Studio now makes this simple. You can generate a clean, intentional audio read of your script, complete with expressive delivery and clear pacing, and export it as a single audio file you can send directly to anyone.

Why audio matters

A written screenplay asks for time and attention. An audio version removes that barrier. The listener can experience your story on a commute, during a walk, or while switching between meetings.

Good audio also communicates things the page can’t:

  • The rhythm of the dialogue
  • The pace of scenes
  • The ebb and flow of tension
  • The emotional intention behind the lines

These are the things execs often gauge within the first few minutes. A well-read audio version gets them there instantly.

A step above standard text-to-speech

Traditional text-to-speech often sounds flat, rushed, or unclear. It can make even strong dialogue feel dull. With Table Read Studio, the AI voice actors have an understanding of what they are saying, and in what context. To guide the delivery of lines further you can use Acting Directions. This means characters feel more grounded, more human, and easier to follow.

The result is a an audio version that feels like an early proof-of-concept for your story, not a robotic pass-through.

How to create your audio version

  1. Load your script.
  2. Assign AI voices to each character (remember to select a narrator if you would like scene titles, actions and transitions read aloud).
  3. Play through the scenes you would like to download. If you like, edit lines with custom acting directions.
  4. Export the audio using Download Audio.

You end up with a polished read you can send straight to producers, execs or collaborators.

What this unlocks for you

A clearer pitch
Instead of hoping someone will sit down with your PDF, you hand them an easy listen. They get tone, energy, and intent from the first minute.

A way to stand out
Most scripts shared at early stages are still silent documents. An audio version feels modern, thoughtful, and far more digestible.

A practical rewrite tool
Even before you share anything, listening to your script in finished audio form can reveal pacing issues, long stretches, repeated beats, and sections that need tightening.

A simple link between you and your team
Directors, producers, and actors can listen at their own pace. No scheduling. No table-read logistics. Everyone hears the same thing.

A new standard for presenting your work

Execs already use audio to get through more scripts in less time. Giving them a version that actually sounds good — not flat, not robotic — puts your work in a stronger position from the start.

It’s an easy way to let your script speak for itself.

Try it with your own project, or test the workflow with a demo script inside the app.
