new best friend

Over the last two years, I had the (absolute) luxury problem of having a number of jobs that overlapped each other. The work was very challenging and I was inundated with dialects to (attempt!) to master and dialogue to memorize. I was doing a show called Copper at the same time as Sons of Anarchy and about to start Vikings. In fact, there was a five week period in 2013 where I had nine episodes of those three series to film in less than five weeks. A friend told me about “Rehearsal” and it was like an answer to my prayers. I would highlight the script, record the dialogue (everyone’s lines) and listen to the scenes over and over. In my car, on set- wherever- Rehearsal was my constant companion.
I always feel that as an actor, my only defense against any scenario is preparation. Especially when I am showing up in high pressure situations on high profile projects. I don’t care how experienced you may be, there is always a feeling of being the new kid on campus. There is no better way to assure your new cast mates you can handle the situation than being off book and ready to throw down. This app is an incredible tool for us actors. Before I would record voice memos, but Rehearsal loops the scenes and allows me to add notes to the script. Thanks David for such a useful tool. Sincerely, Donal Logue
