The actor declares the document and chooses the role they are playing.
An actor-controlled text-work and line-learning instrument
Text work. Line learning. Between rehearsals.
Bring in the material, choose your role, and work cue to line with separate cue voices for the other characters. Foldy keeps the actor in control as the work changes.
Not a coach. Not a readiness verdict. The actor remains the author and judge.
THE CURRENT INSTRUMENT
How Foldy works now.
Choose the sequence.
Work through cue-to-line sequences, repeat them, alter pace and return to the exact language between rehearsals.
Hear exact cues.
Three separately mapped voices supply the other characters’ cue lines. Josh never plays a character.
Return to saved work.
Foldy is being extended to keep actor-authored questions and retention evidence connected to the text across repeated work.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The text, the questions, and the lines need to stay connected.
Most tools isolate one task. Foldy is built around the actor’s movement between private preparation and the human rehearsal room—text work can inform rehearsal, and the actor can return afterward without starting over.
WHAT FOLDY HOLDS TOGETHER
Text work and line learning in one place.
Choose a practice or scroll. Foldy keeps the actor’s questions, exact language, cue-to-line work, and retention evidence connected without choosing for them.
THE ACTOR
Your authorship stays yours.

A SHORT CUE-VOICE DEMONSTRATION
Hear the cue voices.
Follow the text.
This bounded website demonstration shows how Foldy separates Josh from the cue voices used for line learning. Choose a role to mark the actor’s place in the text, then hear a short cue-voice preview. The actor’s performance remains in the human rehearsal room.

JOSH AND MAPPED CUE VOICES
Josh is a mirror for the actor’s inquiry.
Cue voices supply the text.
JOSH · MIRROR
Listening.
Josh carries Foldy’s state and operational language. He does not interpret the play or voice the other parts.

“Your actions are my dreams.”
Character lines are read by three separately mapped cue voices. The Pulse is absent because this is not Josh speaking.
WORK BETWEEN REHEARSALS
The work continues
when a production closes.
The work changes shape: a new role, a different company, another question. Foldy’s purpose is not to complete the actor. It is to keep actor-authored questions and line-learning evidence available as the work changes.

WHY FOLDY EXISTS
Why Foldy exists.
Foldy was created by actor and writer Nomè SiDone around a practical artistic need: an actor-controlled instrument for text work and line learning between rehearsals.
Josh is part of Foldy’s voice relationship and emotional origin. That presence belongs inside the instrument—not as a memorial performance and never as a substitute for the actor or the characters.
HOW THE WORK IS HANDLED
What happens to your work.
Scripts are parsed in the browser.Foldy processes pasted and uploaded scene material on the actor’s device before saved scenes sync for multi-device use.
Line-learning cue audio uses a cloud voice service.Line text is sent to ElevenLabs to generate mapped cue voices. Foldy does not claim that nothing leaves the device.
Retention records stay narrow.Run logs and scheduler records use fingerprints, grades and timestamps—not raw script text.
The actor keeps judgment.Foldy may surface watch-spots. It does not declare the actor ready or choose what they should study.
