Run Lines With Me

I just downloaded this app to rehearse my lines for the next school play. It’s super super helpful and really convenient, but I can’t pay for the subscription, and I don’t really want to anyways. But that’s not my biggest issue. I recorded 9 times, realized I should be doing a different process for recording, and deleted all of my recordings, thinking I’d still have the 10 free ones because I deleted all of mine. Instead, the app said I only had one free recording left, even after deleting all of them. I deleted the app and redownloaded it to see if it was a glitch but that didn’t work. I don’t know if it is a glitch or just a stupid part of the app but either ways I feel like I just wasted my time recording all of those lines just for me to not be able to fix it or make up for the lost time. And now I can’t record ANYTHING at all because it says I’ve used all of my free recordings even though I have nothing recorded. Again, awesome app and concept, absolutely hate that you have to pay, especially as someone whose younger and has no way of paying for the subscription.

I’m not usually someone who would write a review for apps. However, this app is seriously mind blowing. I’m an actress who has to memorize a ton of lines within a short period of time. I always struggled with them because I wanted someone to read the cues for me. I browsed through several apps trying to find something that would do this for me. And this was by far the best one I have found. It’s great because there are multiple settings to choose from. I personally like having the pause to say my line. It also allows you to review your lines a LOT more. I will turn on the recording and listen to my lines while coloring, or other activities. So now I’m much more prepared. No worries! You can organize your recordings into folders which is so helpful! You can also label each individual recording. The other thing I love is how affordable the price is for a full subscription. Most apps like these are unreasonable with their prices, but this app is great! I 100% recommend for my fellow actors out there.

I usually don’t write reviews, I usually don’t pay for subscriptions on apps either, but this app is a literal godsend for me as an actor. Some people will just use voice memos, but having an app that you can have it repeat or move onto the next one is so useful. Not to mention the fact it tells you when your character is speaking so you don’t accidentally start saying a line when there’s supposed to be a pause.Plus, the subscriptions are actually reasonably priced and NOT $100 a year and $5.99 a week. It was definitely worth it to pay $5 and get an entire year. In my last show, I struggled so badly with my lines that I cried a lot at rehearsals (this was in 8th grade) and I knew that going into highschool this year, the stakes would be higher. My school has won national musical education awards 9 years in a row and we win a lot of musical theatre awards. When I got my roll in the play, I was shocked that I had gotten a huge roll, bigger than one I ever thought I’d get as a freshman (no other freshman got speaking roles, other than one who was only in 1 scene). I was the second biggest role in the show and I KNEW I had to find something to use to work on memorization with.That’s where this app came in, I can memorize an entire scene in 20 minutes and keep it memorized, I go through it once with the script, once with minimal looking at it, and then a few times without it and boom, I’m memorized!TLDR: This app is awesome, subscriptions are very reasonably priced, and has helped me a ton with memorizing lines for the second biggest role in the play
