About ActorCue
ActorCue is an iPhone app that solves the problem of needing a reader in the room for self-tape auditions and solo rehearsals — so actors can run lines hands-free, memorize faster, and record self-tapes without anyone else in the room.
Every actor knows the problem: you have an audition coming up, you need to run lines, and you don't have a scene partner available. You can't hold the script and act at the same time. Finding someone to read opposite you isn't always possible — especially at 11pm the night before an audition.
ActorCue is your always-available scene partner. You enter your scene's dialogue, assign lines to a reader character or yourself, and ActorCue reads the reader lines aloud while listening for your cue words. You run the scene naturally — speaking your lines, hearing responses — until you're off-book and ready.
For self-tapes, ActorCue reads opposite you in real time so you have a genuine line to react to on camera. No cardboard cutout. No reading off-screen text. No waiting for pauses. A real, responsive scene partner from your iPhone.
Director-style full scene run. Say "call action" to begin. Reader lines play automatically. Speak your cue word to advance. Say "director line please" if you need a prompt.
Instant triggering. Say your cue word and ActorCue immediately speaks the matching reader line. Great for drilling individual exchanges fast.
No voice needed. Tap anywhere to advance lines at your own pace — perfect for quiet environments, on-set review, or pacing through complex scenes.
Your active line stays centered and highlighted. Cue words always visible. Delay countdown and listening indicator keep you in sync with the scene.
