Run Scene is built for script memorization. Instead of drilling a whole script as plain text, you choose the role you want to practice. Partner dialogue and action cues play around you, then your line stays hidden until you speak it from memory.
Quick start (2 minutes)
- Open a script Memorization and choose Run Scene.
- Pick your speaker role if the game asks you to choose one.
- Press Start Scene. Listen for partner cues and action lines.
- When your hidden line appears, speak it from memory.
- Review the transcript and continue through the scene.
How Run Scene works
- Focused role practice: Only your selected speaker is scored. Other roles stay in the scene as cues so the rehearsal still has context.
- Partner playback: Browser or generated voices can read non-focused dialogue and action lines before your turn.
- Hidden lines: Your current line is withheld until you recall it, which keeps the game closer to real rehearsal.
- Transcript review: After you speak, Run Scene compares your captured line against the script and marks wording that needs attention.
- Chunk-aware sessions: Use practice focus or chunking to rehearse one scene, beat, or section at a time.
A useful rehearsal routine
- Run one short section: Start with a small chunk so the cue-to-line rhythm feels manageable.
- Listen for the cue: Let the partner line finish, pause for the beat, then deliver your hidden line.
- Fix the exact miss: If the transcript shows a miss, repeat only that cue and response once before moving on.
- Chain the scene: When individual lines feel stable, run the whole chunk without stopping.
- Finish aloud: After Run Scene, do one Speak pass or live recitation to confirm the lines work outside the guided scene.
Settings worth adjusting
- Your role: Choose the character you are memorizing. If the selected role has no lines in the current chunk, pick a different chunk or speaker.
- Cue voices: Give partner roles distinct voices so it is easier to hear who is speaking.
- Next context: Keep upcoming cues visible when you need orientation; hide extra context when you want a harder rehearsal.
- Speed: Slow playback while learning new cues, then return to performance pace once the order is familiar.
Troubleshooting
- No role appears: Make sure the script has speaker names on their own lines and dialogue beneath each speaker cue.
- The wrong lines are scored: Open settings and confirm your focused role is the character you want to practice.
- Speech capture feels off: Speak clearly, reduce background noise, and edit obvious transcript mistakes before reviewing.
- The scene feels too long: Turn on practice focus and choose a smaller chunk before running the scene again.
Run Scene is strongest when you need more than isolated line recall. It trains the cue, the beat, and the response together so memorized lines start to feel playable.
