Why OffBook
Run lines the moment the audition lands — no scheduling, no waiting, no favors needed.
Responsive cues help partner lines land naturally, so your performance feels like a real scene, not a recording session.
Import, rehearse, record, and review in one focused flow. One app. One session. Done.
The Science of Rehearsal
Actors don't improve by reading a script alone. Research on deliberate practice points to something simpler: rehearsing the scene, listening, responding, and repeating it under real conditions. OffBook gives you a responsive partner for that kind of practice — anytime you need one.
Running the scene again and again turns hesitation into instinct, so you walk in ready.
A scene only comes alive when you're really responding to another voice, not waiting for your line.
No reader, no problem. Rehearse with a responsive scene partner as many times as the part deserves.
“I read it 250 times.”
“If you’re thinking about your lines, you’re not listening.”
The App
Features
Bring in casting sides from PDF, including Share/Open from Files or Mail. OffBook extracts the scene, supports multi-scene scripts, and lets you clean up the result before rehearsal: fix dialogue, change speakers, add missing lines, and remove what you don't need.
OffBook listens for your spoken cue and responds to the scene you're actually performing, instead of forcing you onto a fixed playback timer. Visible listening and cue-match feedback lets you see when the Reader has heard you.
Choose a ready-made Reader voice and OffBook performs the Reader lines for you, no recording required. Or perform the Reader lines yourself and transform the voice while keeping your timing, rhythm, and acting choices intact.
Keep your lines visible while you record, with adjustable text size and current/next line guidance so you can stay in the scene without losing your place.
Hear the Reader privately through AirPods or headphones while your performance is recorded separately. It keeps the Reader out of the room and makes natural interruption and overlapping dialogue practical when the scene calls for it.
OffBook keeps the Reader as a separate stem after recording. In Gallery, rebuild the finished tape with the Reader lower, at its recorded level, or higher, then play and save the finished mix.
Actor Pro Tip
Use silence as your instrument.
Want a dramatic beat before the reader responds? When recording or customizing a reader line, leave a little silence before the line starts. OffBook will trigger the reader on cue — and that silence becomes part of the performance.
How It Works
Open your audition PDF on your iPhone and Share it with OffBook Studio. OffBook extracts and formats the scene automatically. For a few quick lines, use Quick Lines instead.
Select which character is yours. Your Reader takes every other role, voices and all.
Run the scene. Responsive timing means cues come in when they should, not on a fixed loop.
Hit record and go. Your performance, your take — fully produced from your iPhone.
