Personal rehearsal tool

Pocket Rehearsal

Add a short scene, choose your role and rehearse against spoken cues. Use prompts while learning, then remove them as the lines settle.

  1. Add script
  2. Cast and check
  3. Rehearse

1. Add your scene

Paste text or open a short scene from a file you are using. You can correct the parsed lines before rehearsing.

Open a script file

Use a clear image, text-based PDF or Word .docx file. Images can be up to 10 MB; PDF and Word files up to 8 MB. Files are read in your browser and are not uploaded to Stark Drama.

Word support is for .docx. For an older .doc file, save a copy as .docx or PDF first.

Formatting help

Put the speaker before each line, followed by a colon:

CHARACTER: Line of dialogue

Lines that wrap onto the next row are joined to the previous speaker automatically.

Bracketed stage directions are ignored. In Word files, italic stage directions are also left out when the formatting can be identified.

Privacy on school and shared computers

Using a shared device?

Shared-device mode stops Stark Drama leaving your recent-page list or project work behind after the browser session. It also resets optional analytics to off. Your exam-board choice may remain as a simple site preference.

Turning it on clears Stark Drama work already saved in this browser. Back up anything you need first.
