Choose Script in the editor, then paste your scene.
The spare key
A sample scene
You play Alex. Jamie gives you the cue.
Jamie · Cue 1 of 2
You kept the key?
Alex · Your line
I thought you might come back.
Read, recall, then check. No microphone needed here.
What is the best way to memorize a script?
Read the scene for meaning before learning the words. Practise each cue with its response, check missed phrases, and build up to the full scene. Use a partner or recorded cues so you learn when to speak as well as what to say. Here is how to practise in Memorize By Heart.
Add the scene
Choose Script and paste your sides, the pages for your audition. Keep speaker names on their own lines with dialogue underneath. Check the parsed preview and pick your role.
Recall from the cue
Open Run Scene. Let the partner line finish, then speak your hidden response. Start with a short scene and build up.
Check, then run it again
Review your captured words against the script. Correct speech recognition mistakes, practice missed phrases, then run the scene without stopping.
Keep the cue in the picture.
In our original sample, Jamie asks, “You kept the key?” Alex replies, “I thought you might come back.” Practice that exchange as one piece.
If you say “I knew” instead of “I thought,” check the script and repeat the exact phrase. Once the words feel steady, play with the intention and delivery.

A few things before you start.
How do I memorize lines for an audition?
Read the whole scene so you know what your character wants. Work on one cue and response at a time. Hide your line, say it aloud, then check the script. Repeat the parts you miss before running the scene from start to finish.
Can I rehearse without a scene partner?
Yes. In Run Scene, choose your role and let the app play the other characters and action cues. Your lines stay hidden for recall. You can choose cue voices and adjust playback speed. Browser voice features and microphone permission are needed for spoken practice.
Can I practice a monologue too?
Yes. Add it as Long Text, then try First Letter to reduce your prompts, Type It to check exact wording, or Speak to practice aloud. Script mode and Run Scene are useful when you want to keep character cues in the rehearsal.
