Features
Learn your lines one cue at a time
Keep your character in view, hear the other role, and move from supported reading to a real memory check.
Character focus
See only the lines, cues, and scenes that belong to the character you are studying.
Blackout mode at your level
Hide a line fully, leave its first word or initials visible, and reveal it only when you need a prompt.
Hear the other role
Use TTS or dialogue recordings, then answer out loud on your cue when no scene partner is available.
Keep a changing script ready to work
Turn a flat file into a rehearsal workspace you can navigate, annotate, correct, and update as the production moves.
Find the work fast
Move through acts, scenes, dialogue, or the full script. Filter to only your scenes and see line counts before you begin.
Build character work beside the text
Keep character details, relationships, objectives, emotional arc, and private notes where you prepare the scene.
Correct and update the text
Edit lines, resolve character aliases, and choose the right update mode when a new version of the script arrives.

With HitCue Pro, rehearsal can continue outside the room without splitting notes and recordings across group chats.
Cast recordings for solo practice

Shared notes in context
Keep rehearsal directions and decisions on the scene where the cast will need them again.
One script link for the cast

How to Prepare Audition Sides: A 24-Hour Actor Workflow
The fastest way to prepare audition sides in a day isn't to memorize a flawless line reading. It's to lock two or three playable choices you can adjust in the room, and to get off the page enough to make eye contact when it counts. Sides drop you mid-scene, usually with no context and a tight deadline. This workflow gives you an hour-by-hour plan to pull the facts, mark the turns, and run the scene out loud before you walk in.
Memorization
How to Memorize a Monologue: Cue Maps, Turns, and Pressure Tests
The fastest way to memorize a monologue isn't running it top to bottom until the words stick. It's mapping the turns — the points where your character's thought shifts — and using those turns as internal cues. A scene hands you a partner's line to trigger each response. A monologue gives you nothing external, so you have to build the trigger chain yourself. This article shows you how to map the turns, anchor each one to an image or action, and pressure-test the speech before you trust it under lights.
Script Analysis
Practical Aesthetics Acting: Turn a Scene Into a Playable Action
Practical Aesthetics gives you one job in a scene: figure out the action you're playing, then go play it. You don't manufacture the feeling first. You name what your character is literally doing, boil it down to a plain action anyone could play, and let the emotion arrive on its own. This is the method for the actor who freezes trying to "feel" a scene the night before class. Below is the three-question analysis, filled in on an original scene, plus the two ways it quietly goes wrong.
