Arrive ready. Actors rarely struggle because they can’t remember a line. They struggle because preparation is fragmented... one place for the script, another to learn lines, a friend to read opposite them, another app for the self-tape. Through all of it, one question hangs on: am I ready? MyLine is your acting companion. It brings script prep, line learning, rehearsal, and self-tape into one place so you can stop switching tools and start building confidence in the work. Whether it’s an urgent audition drop or a monologue you want to own, MyLine helps you get from first read to performance on your schedule, without waiting for someone else to be free. What you can do Import your sides: Bring in PDFs, Word docs, text, or photos and get into the scene quickly. Learn your lines: Hide your dialogue, run cue-by-cue, and build fluency at your pace. Rehearse with a scene partner anytime: Practice opposite voice cues, or use Active Listening so the app waits for you. Self-tape in one flow: Record with Autocue, review takes, and share when you’re ready. Share and prep with others: Work in groups or with a remote reader when you need a real partner. Why I made MyLine "I am an actor with over credits in over 100 professional film and television shows along with many many theatre productions. I wanted to make an app that solved all of the friction I found in working with scripts and doing my auditions. I wanted to run lines on the go, I wanted a way to keep track of how well I was doing learning lines and which scene was shooting on which day. I wanted a way of shooting tapes on my own when I had to, especially on the road where I couldn't rely on my network of friends to come and tape with me. I couldn't find an app like that, so I made it." Brian Caspe The performance starts long before the camera does. MyLine removes the friction of prep so you can focus on choices, repetition, and showing up ready. Download MyLine. Arrive ready for your next role.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ActOnCue Reader & Line Learner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ActOnCue Reader & Line Learner has 94 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of MyLine's written reviews are positive against 64% of ActOnCue Reader & Line Learner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MyLine ships an update every 6 days, ActOnCue Reader & Line Learner weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
