Act Natural is a daily practice app for actors — a gym, not a school. No course to sit through. Exercises, real texts, and the tools you actually use before an audition or on a Tuesday night with nothing booked. Actors train hard at drama school, then spend most of a career training alone. Between jobs there is no class, no scene partner, and no structure - and the work that keeps you sharp is exactly the work that stops happening when nobody schedules it. This gives it a shape. WORK ON YOUR CRAFT • 79 exercises across nine crafts: voice & speech, body & movement, emotional access, imagination & character, scene analysis, listening & reaction, improvisation, cold reading, and memorisation • Timed, step-by-step instructions with a voice guide, so a session can be done hands-free with your eyes shut • Say how many minutes you have and get a session that fits • Six warm-up routines that auto-advance: pre-audition, daily, voice, body, emotional prep • A suggestion each day, and a surprise button for the ones you keep avoiding REAL TEXTS, IN FULL • 53 public-domain monologues, complete - Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen, Wilde, Shaw, Molière, Strindberg, and Greek tragedy • 18 public-domain scenes with the full dialogue • Pick your part and let the app read the other one aloud • 40 tongue twisters across three levels • 8 accent and dialect references with practice passages • 10 plain-English technique explainers: Stanislavski, Meisner, Adler, Hagen, Chubbuck, Practical Aesthetics and more THE JOB YOU ARE PREPPING • Import a script by PDF, photo, or paste • Highlight your lines, mark beats, annotate • Cue mode listens for the end of your line and moves the scene on, hands-free • Progressive line hiding and first-letter mode for learning lines • Analysis worksheets built on Shurtleff's 12 Guideposts, Hagen's Nine Questions, Chubbuck's 12 Steps, and Practical Aesthetics • Character worksheets for backstory, relationships, and given circumstances YOUR OWN MATERIAL • Add your own monologues by typing or dictating them, then practise, record and favourite them like anything built in WATCH IT ADD UP • A calendar showing every day you practised • Current and longest streak, and a weekly goal • Total hours, sessions, and a breakdown by craft • A reflection journal saved to your history • Record a take today and play it against one from March PRIVATE BY DEFAULT There is no account and no sign-up. Nothing you write, record or import leaves your device, and there is no feed, no sharing, and no way for anyone else to see your work. Almost everything works with no connection at all. ACT NATURAL PRO Two AI generators are paid: fresh cold-reading scenes on demand, and character briefs to improvise from. Everything else in this list is free and offline. Act Natural Pro is $2.99/month, auto-renewing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in Settings.
