The Actor’s Brief
Tools for the working actor

Run your lines.
Anywhere.

Scene Partner reads every other part out loud so you can rehearse against a real cue — on the bus, in the car, the night before the shoot.

Meet Scene Partner

A scene partner that’s always free, and always available.

Drop in your sides, tell it who you’re playing, and it hides your lines and reads everyone else’s out loud — cueing you and waiting for your delivery, just like running lines with a friend.

Bring any script
Paste or upload your sides. It finds the characters automatically — and if a scan isn’t clean, you can fix the text and re-scan in seconds.
Hear every other part
Give each other character its own voice. Scene Partner reads their lines aloud, then goes quiet and waits for yours.
Three ways to drill
Read the scene, flip through cue cards, or run it hands-free with the spoken scene partner — whatever fits where you are.
Practiced in chunks
Long scripts break into bite-size sections, so you master one piece at a time instead of drowning in the whole thing.
Built for your phone
Designed for iPhone and Android. Add it to your home screen and it opens like a real app.
Private by design
Everything runs in your browser. Your script is never uploaded anywhere — not to us, not to anyone.
How it works

From script to off-book in three steps.

1
Add your script
Paste or upload the scene. Scene Partner pulls out the characters.
2
Cast it
Pick your role and hand each other character a voice.
3
Rehearse
Read, drill cue cards, or run lines hands-free — section by section.
About

Made by an actor, for actors.

The Actor’s Brief builds the tools we wished we had — the kind you reach for at 11pm the night before a self-tape, when you just need to get the lines in and there’s no one around to run them with you.

Rehearsal tools shouldn’t cost you money, and your sides shouldn’t leave your hands. So these are free, and they run entirely on your own device.

Work in progress

This is just the first one.

The Actor’s Brief is brand new and growing. More tools for auditions, self-tapes, and rehearsal are on the way — check back soon.
