Scene Study Beat Rehearsal Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Beats and objectives are worked out in the head and never tested against the lines. This agent breaks the scene into beats and asks the actor for an objective and a tactic for each beat. It tests each choice against the text for contradictions, such as an objective of 'comfort her' with a line that insults her. It runs a read-through where it plays the partner, then logs where the actor stumbled, rushed or lost the objective. Then it reworks the beat plan with the actor and runs the read-through again. It stops when the actor has no stumbles on the key beats or the time is up. The actor approves the final choices. Edge case: a beat with a long silence is kept as its own beat and timed.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A choice is kept when it fits every line of its beat. A beat is flagged when the actor stumbles on it twice.

  • Flag a choice that contradicts a line
  • Mark a beat after two stumbles
  • Keep long silences as beats
  • Limit rehearsal to the time set

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Rehearsal time
  • Number of read-throughs (default 3)
  • Stumble threshold
  • Scene partner voice

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Final choices
  • Any change to the character notes

Hard limits

  • Never gives acting direction as fact
  • Never changes the script

It stops when

  • Done: key beats pass and the actor approved
  • Stop: the time is up

An example run

What happensIn a kitchen scene, the actor chose 'comfort her' for beat 3, but the line was 'Stop pretending you care'. The fit check failed. The agent asked for a new objective and the actor chose 'make her admit it'. The read-through then showed stumbles on beats 5 and 6. After reworking tactics, the second read had one stumble on beat 6. The actor approved the plan.
