Rehearsal® Pro 4+

An invaluable tool for actors

I’ve been using this since launch and as a professional actor I’ve run countless scripts through this. The line sets and ability to black out your lines are the best learning and rehearsal tools available.

I was getting worried that this app had been abandoned as I hadn’t seen an update in many years and I was starting to see more quirks in it so I had started looking at alternatives. I am glad to see a recent update now. One thing Scriptation has that has been a game changer is the ability to select a character and it automatically highlights all those lines. A major time saver I’d love to see in Rehearsal.

I also have used the “line sets” feature to be my own reader for auditions though ColdRead has taken that over for me now.

As a long time fan who has constantly recommended this app to fellow actors, I hope it continues to develop and improve. It was definitely the first of its kind and extremely useful and innovative.

Leaves a lot to be desired

Great app in theory, but often doesn’t work to full capacity. Seems a bit deceitful to make the scanning process for adding scripts to be a camera icon, only to inform you upon clicking on it that you need to download an Adobe app to actually scan the script now. But I did that. Problem is, once you’ve completed the scanning process and followed all the steps provided, it’s still 50/50 whether the “Import to Rehearsal Pro” option will show up on your menu bar. And that’s important, because if you try to send the PDF to Rehearsal Pro when it doesn’t explicitly say “Import to Rehearse Pro,” it doesn’t work whatsoever. So I tried another method that’s suggested of using the email created when I made an account for the purpose of adding a script. The script after several minutes does show up in the app, but when I try to add it, despite re-emailing it several times, I still get the error message “Error writing file.” I like the app when it works, but right now charging $20 for...this...is simply insulting. I want the app to succeed really badly, because it’s a useful tool. But quite frankly it’s just a headache right now

Developer Response ,

David Jon...I'm really sad you didn't give us a chance to help you solve your issues by sending us a help request before leaving this review. I don't see anyone in our help request queue over the last two weeks with either "David" or "Jon" in their name, and no one has sent us any support requests that reflect your issue in this review. Can you please use the Send A Message page on our site (it's on the FAQ page) so we can get get the information we need from you to get you squared away? As for using Adobe Scan for our scanner, there are several reasons we chose to do that, and there's no deceit involved. It's free, it's from the people who invented PDF, and it creates much smaller and higher quality scans than we could within our app. You share the PDF that Adobe Scan creates right into Rehearsal Pro, and it works just fine from there. If Rehearsal doesn't show up as a sharing option, you may need to enable it on your device in the app list that will allow PDF imports. At any rate, we want to help, and we're hoping you'll get in touch.

Couldn’t book without it!!!

I have used Rehearsal Pro for years now and can’t imagine my life without it! I had no idea I would use it as often as I do. I have always been “old school” by using paper and highlighter … and sneaking a peek while I’m driving! The Rehearsal Pro is a game changer. Over the years, I have walked hundreds of miles with my earbuds in listening to lines and responding aloud. People just think I’m talking on the phone! I also use it in the car on long drives or just around town. David‘s videos on how to set up the app are very useful. The turnaround time for the app to receive my script and it be available for rehearsal is phenomenal. It has never disappointed. I recommend this app to everyone in the industry!!
