Scene partner for actors

Run the scene until the lines are yours.

Paste your sides, mark your character, and rehearse against a scene partner that reads every other role out loud. Your lines stay hidden until you say them. Works in the browser on a laptop, a tablet or a phone in the audition hallway.

Free for 3 scenes with any Web For Actors account. Premium is $9 a month, or $5 if you already pay for Web For Actors. No app to install, nothing to print.

How it works

Three steps from sides to off book.

01

Bring the sides

Paste the text or drop in the PDF you were sent. Characters, cues and stage directions are split out for you.

02

Pick your role

One tap marks which lines are yours. Give the other characters a voice and a pace that matches how the scene plays.

03

Run it, then cover it

Read along with your lines visible, then turn the cards off and run the scene again with the page blank.

Features

Everything rehearsal needs, nothing to set up.

You get the sides at 9pm and the audition is at 10am. Go Offbook is built for that night: open a browser, work the scene, sleep, then run it once more on the train.

F01

Scene partner voices

A distinct voice for every other character, at the speed you want to be cued.

F02

Plays on your timings

Record how long each line takes once and the scene runs back at that pace on its own.

F03

Hide your lines

Run it with the cards showing, then switch them off and go off book.

F04

Sides straight from a PDF

Upload the PDF you were sent and the text comes out ready to mark up.

F05

Any screen, no install

Laptop at home, phone on the train, tablet in the hallway. Same scene, same browser.

F06

Flash cards, still there

The card view Go Offbook was built on, printable, now generated from the same scene.

After the run

Come back to the scene where you left it.

Your scenes are saved to your account: 3 on Free, as many as you like on Premium. Close the tab, take the subway, open it on a phone and the cards are still marked up the way you left them.

Delete a scene any time. It is your rehearsal, not a grade.
