Script Buddy: Actor Rehearsal
Memorize. Rehearse. Go Off-Book.
Go off-book with ease.
Read, listen, and rehearse your scripts anywhere—at home or on the go.
Turn line learning into a routine that actually fits your life.
Rehearse while working out, walking, biking, commuting, or cooking.
Script Buddy reads your script aloud and helps you stay in the scene.
Assign distinct voices to each character, then black-out or mute your lines so you can actively recall them instead of reading.
Script Buddy is your reliable scene partner: it pauses and waits until you deliver your line, then continues naturally—so rehearsal keeps flowing.
