Most actors struggle to memorize lines and rehearse alone — you can't hold the script and act at the same time, and finding a scene partner isn't always possible. ActorCue solves that. Run lines hands-free, prepare your self-tape audition in minutes, and arrive at every audition off-book and confident — all from your iPhone, anywhere, anytime.
Three Ways to Rehearse
Performance Mode
Say "call action" to begin. Reader lines play automatically. Speak your cue word on your lines to advance — say "director line please" if you need a reminder.
Cue Mode
Say your cue word and ActorCue speaks the matching line immediately. Run your entire scene hands-free with the voice you choose.
Tap Mode
Tap anywhere to advance at your own pace — ideal for quiet environments, on-set review, or pacing through complex scenes.
SceneCue View
Your active line stays centered and highlighted as the scene moves. Cue words are always visible for quick reference. A delay countdown and listening indicator keep you perfectly in sync.

FAQ
ActorCue uses voice-triggered cues and hands-free playback so you can run lines repeatedly and naturally — no stopping to look at the script. The more you run the scene with ActorCue responding in real time, the faster you internalize the words. Most actors get off-book in a fraction of the usual time.
A self-tape line reader app replaces the human reader you'd normally need in the room when recording an audition. ActorCue reads the other characters' lines aloud — using text-to-speech voices or your own imported audio — so you can record a polished self-tape at home, alone, anytime.
Enter your scene's lines and assign each to a character. ActorCue plays the reader lines automatically and listens for your cue words using voice recognition on your iPhone. Choose Performance Mode for a full director-style scene run, Cue Mode for instant one-word triggering, or Tap Mode to advance at your own pace.

Cue Mode is instant: say your cue word and ActorCue immediately speaks the
matching reader line — great for drilling individual lines.
