How analysis starts
Give the read the right context
Sides starts with the tape, then asks for the role and sides when you have them. That context helps separate your lines, the reader, and the moments the analysis should care about.
Upload the tape
Drag in the take
Start with the take you are considering sending. Sides keeps the flow quiet and focused.
Choose the role
Connect the role
Tie the tape back to a role so the read understands who you are playing and what history already exists.
Add the sides
Add the scene text
Attach or paste the scene so the analysis can identify your lines, the reader, and the moments that matter.
FAQ
Before you trust the read

No. Scores help orient the read, but the useful part is the specific coach note attached to each category.
Does it replace a coach?
No. It is a fast second set of eyes for the moment before send, especially when nobody is available.
What should I upload?
Use the take you would actually consider sending. The read is most useful when the stakes are real.
Have a tape you are not sure about?
