Problem

Talent isn’t the bottleneck. Access is.

Desk research

Rehearsal partners are unreliable, unavailable, or emotionally flat.
Actors lose preparation quality, not because of talent, but because of access.
Existing tools just read lines. They don’t listen, react, or coach.

200K+

theater students in the U.S. alone rehearse without consistent support.

How it works

Upload, perform, get coached

Step 1 · Upload Script

Upload Script

Paste a scene and pick your role. Character names in ALL CAPS are parsed into an ordered cue list.

“Paste your script.” screen with a screenplay text box and a Parse Script button

Step 2 · AI Performs

AI Performs

The scene partner gets acting direction for each line (emotion, pace, pauses) and speaks it with an expressive synthetic voice.

Step 3 · You Perform

You Perform

On your cue, record your line. The recording is saved and sent to the backend for analysis.

Pitch & demo

Technology

Four models, one scene

A React front end talks to a FastAPI backend that parses the script, directs each line, speaks it, and analyzes the actor’s take. Scene memory smooths delivery so emotion doesn’t jump between lines.

LLM scene analysis

Analyzes emotion, subtext and intensity for every line.

Neural TTS

Expressive voice synthesis with emotional nuance (Fish Audio, ElevenLabs).

wav2vec2 emotion classifier

Detects the emotion in the actor’s own recording.

Response-alignment engine

Compares scene requirements against the actual performance.
