"I love this app! Rehearsal lets me learn my lines in the car while I drive to work. It already saved my a** when I was thrown a major new dialogue scene 45 minutes before we started shooting it. I plugged the new scene into Rehearsal and I was off book by the time I got out of the make up chair." -Clark Gregg (Iron Man, Avengers, Desperate Housewives, New Adventures of Old Christine)
"I am very pleased with the results of using Rehearsal so far. It is a powerful tool in preparing for auditions, or for days of work, especially when I am pressed for time. It is easy to use and I have no doubt that as it evolves, it will be a part of my work process for a long time." -John Carroll Lynch (Shutter Island, Dexter, The Drew Carey Show, Body of Proof)

Latest reviews of Rehearsal 2 app for iPhone and iPad
I use this app every day. Orlando Florida is a commercial market and most auditions are last minute. I can prep my sides easily and go as long as I want with out needing someone to read with me. I dont remember how I rehearsed with out it. I heard about it on INSIDE ACTING PODCAST. Thank you David.
David came through after months of perseverance for you voice over artists out there one can actually email mp3s directly to the casting entity from Rehearsal 2! ...and that is not all…it is an awesome tool for on camera audition preparation as well, beautifully facilitating the opportunity to hone ones listening skills while getting off book. I always get a kick out of walking across a studio lot to an audition with my iPhone held up to my ear seemingly I am chatting away when in fact I am listening to the other characters lines and speaking my own in turn.. relaxed focused and confident striding in to the audition! Nice going David H. Lawrence :) Creative Courage
Rehearsal 2 has been a compete game changer for me! I live in LA and spend WAY too much time in my car, so the fact that I can run my lines on a loop while driving is amazing. I love the fact that I can make notes, add audio files, photos, & video to my scripts. I can saturate each script with so much information. Genius!
Another app that makes a grueling monotonous task a little easier. Worth the money if your an actor.
This is a fantastic idea for an app, but switching between blackout mode and the highlight view is abysmally slow. Unusable, honestly. But even if it worked quickly, you should be able to peek at individual blacked out lines. As it is now, all you can do is toggle it on or off for the whole script at one.
