ActorRise is built by a working actor, for actors. I got tired of spending more time hunting for the right monologue than actually rehearsing it. Digging through dusty library books, lost workshop notes, old coach PDFs, and endless Google searches just to find something that fits the character, tone, length, and your type. It was eating into the work that actually matters.
So I built the tool I wished existed.
Search 8,600+ theater monologues and 14,000+ film & TV scene references in plain English. Type something like "a grieving woman hiding her pain, contemporary, under 2 minutes" and find it instantly. No more guessing keywords or browsing page by page.
ScenePartner lets you paste any script and rehearse with an AI that reads the other part. Run lines on your own time, as many times as you need. No scheduling, no waiting for a scene partner to be free.
Less time searching. More time repeating. That's the craft.

i'm Canberk, actor based in Berkeley. i built ActorRise because i kept losing rehearsal time just finding the right monologue. backstage and monologuer exist but neither lets you search in plain english the way ActorRise does. type what you actually need, find it in seconds. ScenePartner came out of the same frustration, running lines alone without a scene partner available shouldn't mean you can't rehearse. built this for working actors who just want to do the work.
