Incredible
Absolutely love that I can change the intention of each line of the AI voice to help give it more nuance and guide the performance that I need from it. It ends up truly feeling like a scene partner.
Unreliable and New AI Voice is Worse Than Before
Often misses cues and will just sit there silently, usually halfway through a scene. I bought the subscription and it was doing alright but yesterday they released an update and the female AI voice now speaks like she’s illiterate which makes it embarrassing to submit to reputable casting directors.

Hey there, Thanks for your review - the new voices were added because they are direct-able and have more context about the scene, that being said, you can revert to the old voices! There is a setting in the "i" button in the main menu to turn them off. We are testing the voices, so if you could email us at hello@counterpart.actor with the scene where the voices messed up, would be great to take a look. We'd love to make it right for you. Alex

Review
fantastic app, everything I needed
Great for learning lines
But you do have to pay for more than one scene, then give you one scene for free.
Utterly Unreliable
Unreliable for important auditions. App routinely stops talking in the middle of a sentence, especially if the scene is several pages long. Routinely misses cues. For important emotional scenes it is absolutely infuriating, making you repeat the performance over and over because it will fail mid-sentence, omit a line altogether, or leave you hanging without responding to your cue.

App sux when it comes to importing scripts
Tried importing multiple times, multiples ways after reading FAQ explanation of how it is supposed to be done. Failed. God forbid coding the app to directly access/open the file directly……or worse, have a spot to drag and drop the file for importing. <sarc>
Do not wast your time.

Hey there, The mac app doesn't support importing. It's designed to be a reader version of the iOS app to just read scenes with you that are already set up on iOS. Sorry this wasn't clear.
Good App
Great app, the voices are good although the delivery they give naturally with no direction is quite bland, I use this app a lot!
Also please add Bluetooth headphone connectivity!

Great potential, lacking execution
This app has the potential to be a godsend when you can’t find a reader, but the bugs it currently has make it at best infuriating, and at worst unusable. It will randomly decide it’s gonna ignore all cue words anywhere in the script (frustrating, especially while in a long scene), the first reader line echos very loudly in playback like 70% of the time (borderline unusable), and will sometimes bug an entire script so hard it will start reading a line and then skip half the script and start playing a line 10 lines ahead of where you are every time(unusable); changing cue words, manually reentering lines, deleting and reentering lines, nothing works. The script is permanently bugged, and if you’re importing it, it’s bugged forever. I suspect it’s something with the AI voice as recording the lines yourself and keeping it in your own voice seems to solve the problem. It still needs a video playback in the app so you don’t have to wait for an export to see it, and the AI voices, while novel, are mostly unhelpful as readers as they have a monotone, obviously AI delivery. As it stands, stay on the free version.

Hey there, Thank you for your review - it's super helpful. We are always trying to make Counterpart better, especially for taping. Would you mind telling us which scripts these issues happen on? We want to see what specifically is going on. Please reach out to us at hello@counterpart.actor We really look forward to hearing from you!
Game Changer!!
I absolutely LOVE this app. It’s more efficient and functions better than any other tool for the same function. Highly recommend for actors, this is a must
10/10
Always use this when I go on walks to memorize my audition scenes.
Confusing and doesn’t really work
There is not much to it. Even with minimal functions it’s overly complicated. When trying to upload scrips it would miss pages at a time. There are a lot better options out there
Very user friendly
It is extremely easy to navigate and use.
Great app
The best working app
Easy to use
Memorizing my lines for GTA VI became so much easier with this app - highly recommend!
great app
really easy to navigate and a great multi-use tool for learning lines and taping! i really like being able to send to my friend so their voice can be my reader
Masterpiece
The app is super intuitive and easy to use. It actually helps so much in terms of auditions and memorizing!!!
Changes the game for actors
Very seamless to navigate as a user and engaging to rehearse with as an actor. I’ve found, as an actor, that it’s easy to put off learning your lines sometimes and Counterpart erases that. Gone is the excuse of not having a scene partner. You upload your material into the app and you’re ready to go. It helps me to stay accountable and it allows me to enjoy the “tedious” work. I would 100% recommend this app to anyone looking actor or ANYONE trying to memorize something important.

Booked on first use!
Literally the first time I used this app I booked the role! I had a live audition and felt really confident about the character, but couldn’t remember the lines for the life of me. I ended up using Counterpart right before my audition and now I’m recurring on a huge show!
