How do I set up a rehearsal?

If you're an actor, here's a good way to set up a rehearsal so you can learn your lines quickly.


NOTE that this Rehearse feature is not available in the free version of Scriptation. For more information on upgrading to Industry Pro, click HERE.

Open the script;

From the Top Menu, choose Rehearse.

NOTE that if the Rehearse icon isn't showing in the Top Menu, learn to customize your Top Menu to show the Rehearse tool.

Now that you're in Rehearse mode, select the Settings icon at the upper left (it looks like a gear).

In the Settings section, set Dialogue to Voice, Action Lines to Off, and set all others to View.



Select the Voices icon at the upper left (it looks like a person with sound waves);

Select your character and toggle on Rehearse as this character;

If you want your character name and dialogue to be highlighted on the page, set the toggle to on and use the color picker to select the highlight color.

TIP: If you're trying to memorize your lines, choose blackout from the color picker to hide your character's dialogue.



Select the caret to return to the Voices list.

Select each character to adjust their voice, speaking rate, pitch, and volume.

Towards the bottom of the screen is a drag handle; drag this up to display additional Rehearse settings. For more on these settings, check out this article.

When you're ready to run lines, press the play button in the middle. Practice makes perfect!
