It waits for you
Yorick listens for your line rather than running on a timer. Take the pause you would take on stage.
For actors
Nobody to run lines with at 11pm.
That is the actual problem. Your scene partner has a job, the stage manager has gone home, and you open tomorrow week. Yorick is the reader who is always free.
Built for the fortnight before tech
It gives you the line
Dry, and it prompts — the way a stage manager on book would, without the apology.
Cue-to-cue, or the whole scene
Start from any line. Drill the entrance you keep missing without replaying the four pages before it.
Keep the take
Each line is captured as you say it, so you can hear the read that worked instead of trying to remember it.
Auditioning, not cast?
Same tool. Pull any monologue, work it against the scene it came from, and hear it back before you put it in the room.
Working a specific scene?
Read it first, with a modern translation beside every speech and notes on playing the moment. Every scene is here, free and without an account — then take a part and run it.
- Monologues for women
- Monologues for men
- Short audition monologues — twenty lines or fewer
- Comic monologues — for when every other piece in the room is a tragedy
