Tools for Audio Drama Creators

Below you'll find a list of tools we've built to assist audio drama creators. From casting to scripting to post-production and distribution, we've got options to help make the process of making your show just a little bit smoother.

Our ATC Apps:

ATC Roster - an audio drama talent directory

ATC Roster is a free, curated directory of audio drama voice actors, scriptwriters, sound designers, and composers, every one of them vouched for by Audio Theatre Central. Producers can listen to demos and reels right on each profile, then narrow the roster by accent, age range, specialized character voices, genre, specialty, union availability, and more. It's built for audio drama producers and creators who want to find the right talent fast and hear them before they reach out.

ATC Soundwright - scriptwriting built for audio drama

ATC Soundwright is a free, browser-based scriptwriting tool built specifically for audio drama, designed to get new writers writing without wrestling with menus, settings, and formatting rules. Just start typing, and it formats your script for you, recognizing characters, dialogue, directions, sound effects, and music cues as you go, with character names that fill themselves in. When you’re ready, export a clean, standard-format PDF, or move your script to Final Draft or any Fountain-compatible app. Handy extras like a cue sheet, cast report, runtime estimate, notes page, and highlighted actor lines make it ready for production too. It’s made for first-time writers and seasoned pros who want a simple option on any device, and your script never leaves your browser.

ATC Sides Builder is a free, browser-based tool that turns a full audio drama script into polished audition sides in a few clicks.

Fill in the deadline, pay rate, character description, role direction, and submission instructions, then download clean, standard-format sides as a PDF. You can add a watermark and yellow highlighting if you like. It’s built for producers and casting directors who want to put professional sides in front of actors fast, and your script never leaves your browser.

ATC RoleMarker - Script annotation designed for audio drama actors

A free, browser-based tool that helps voice actors prep a script and take it into the booth, designed to work just as well on a tablet as on a computer. Load a PDF, pick up to six characters, and RoleMarker highlights every one of your lines, including group lines like ALL. You can also choose lighter highlights wherever your characters are mentioned in the action. Then mark it up with simple taps for underlines, stamps for pacing, volume, intensity, emotion, pauses and breaths, and notes for yourself, from the director, or on pronunciation. When the director changes a line, rewrite it on the spot with the original still visible. Nothing moves on the page, so your page, scene, and line numbers always match everyone else’s. In session, a distraction-free live view with dark mode and next-line buttons keeps you on track, offline too. Download a marked-up PDF or a backup anytime. No account needed, and your scripts stay in your browser.
