Recommendations
A focused path for scene and monologue asks
Start from the room in front of you: audition, scene study, showcase, or a stretch search that needs sharper curation than a public list can give.
SceneFiendSmall actor beta
Sharper scene and monologue picks for actors.
For actors who are serious about their material
Stop doom-scrolling scene lists. Sign in to read film and TV scenes in the app, and get picks with real reasons.
Sign in to read film and television scenes in the app, ask for recommendations, browse the library by writer or era, and build the saved book you actually use before class, callbacks, and rehearsal. SceneFiend gets you to the material fast — pieces worth your time. The real work is still yours: read the whole script, do your homework, and choose what's right for you.

Small actor beta: recommendations, browse, piece pages, and the saved-book loop are all live now. Browse is open to everyone; the rest is there once you sign in.
What the beta already does
Built around the surfaces actors actually use.
The public front door points at real shipped product surfaces: recommendation workflow, browse, piece pages once you're in, and the saved-book loop. No fake testimonials, no made-up dashboards, no pricing detour.
Browse
A public library you can search like an actor
Filter by playwright, era, cast size, tone, role shape, and use case before you ever ask for a recommendation.
Piece pages
A page for every piece, once you're in
Sign in, open a piece, and skim the fit signals before you commit to reading the full work.
Saved book
A real prep loop instead of a bookmark graveyard
Keep what survives the search, move it toward audition-ready, and compare finalists inside the book you actually use.
1
Ask, or browse
Tell SceneFiend your type and what you need, or search the library by playwright, era, or pairing.
2
Get samples worth reading
Each card shows what the piece is and why it surfaced — and once you're in, its own page shows you the fit signals before you read the full work.
3
Build your book
Save what you want to read in full, take it into the play, and keep the pieces that hold up in the room.
Why it feels different
Made for the material-selection problem, not passive browsing.
Screen scenes you can read once you're in
Sign in and film and television scenes open in the reader — the dialogue is right there, so you can tell in a couple of minutes whether a piece is worth your rehearsal time. Plays are in the library too.
Candidates surfaced from your taste
Tell SceneFiend your training background, the room you are walking into, and the kind of material you respond to. Every card tells you what surfaced and why — the fit judgment is yours to make.
Not just titles - real rationale
Every card shows what the piece rewards and how it surfaced from your context — so you know what you're reading before you commit to working it.
Save, rehearse, take it into the room
Your saved book is the audition, class, and showcase board you actually pick up. Mark what is audition-ready, compare finalists, and keep the pieces that survive rehearsal instead of losing them in tabs.
Ready when you are
Ready to stop sorting through generic lists?
Start with your current ask, browse when you already have a lane in mind, and keep the material that actually survives the room.
