Features
Rehearse every cue out loud
Hear the other role, say your own lines, and move from supported reading to a real memory check.
Scene Partner listens and continues
HitCue follows your words through the microphone and plays the next cue as soon as you finish.
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 synthetic voices or human dialogue recordings, then answer out loud when your cue arrives.
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

Annotation
Blocking in Theatre: How Actors Should Record and Update It
Blocking is not a note you write once. It's a record you rewrite several times before opening, so the way you write it matters more than the notation you choose. Anchor every move to the line that triggers it, keep the shorthand short enough to write while the director is still talking, and never erase an old move — cross it out and date it. Most of what you write in week one will change by week four, and some of it will change back.

Classical Acting Technique: Mark Verse, Breath, and Antithesis
Classical acting technique isn't a voice. It's a set of marks you put on the page before you decide how the line sounds. You scan the verse to find where the rhythm breaks, plan the breath by thought instead of by punctuation, then mark the antitheses and operative words the argument actually turns on. Do it in that order and heightened text stops feeling ornamental. Below is the marking pass, filled in on an original verse scene, plus the three places it goes wrong in rehearsal.

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.
