Talking Partner for Actors now Available on the iPhone: Get Offbook Faster With Scene Partner and Acapela Voices!

MONS, Belgium, November 18, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- Scene Partner is an iPhone app designed for actors, theater companies and
writers looking for a smart way to help actors get offbook faster, using
Acapela speech synthesis, an outstanding talker to partner with. Actors can
now practice their lines anytime, on their own, to make their rehearsals and
performances even better.

Save time & move on to the fun part!

Acapela text to speech, which transforms any written text into natural
speech in real time, with the richness of the language and full respect of
breath groups, pauses and punctuation, contributes to offer with Scene
Partner a unique and highly efficient talking interface to help actors
memorize their lines anytime, anywhere, 24/7.

Scene Partner helps actors learn lines quickly and easily, whether they
normally use voice recording or the printed page. Advanced Acapela text to
speech plays back lines, cues, or whole scenes with pleasant voices. The
actor can even record their own voice and the voices of the fellow actors,
and merge them with the TTS playback. Last but not least, actors can use
their own scripts when signing up by creating a secure Private Library.

Just download the app, create an account (within the app or at
http://www.scenepartnerapp.com/) and access all of the scripts in Scene
Partner's Public Library. You can also set up your own Private Library or
download scripts from the Libraries of your favorite Theaters.

'The potential of the iPhone as a tool for volunteers and professionals
in theater, film and TV is beginning to be realized with the launch of Scene
Partner, a revolutionary new app that helps actors get offbook fast using
Acapela super natural voices.' says J. Kevin Smith, Owner of
mytheaterapps.com, LLC, the developer of Scene Partner.

A product of mytheaterapps.com, Scene Partner is the first in a line of
productivity and community building mobile applications that will help
dramatic artists in ways that we have never imagined.

Pricing is $4.99 and includes 2 English Acapela voices , available on the
