When you want to “put several actors on the same text,” it’s important to clarify what you mean, as this can refer to different needs.
Here are the possible cases and the corresponding solutions in Imparato.


🗣️ 1. Having several characters say the same line

Imparato allows you to indicate that multiple characters are speaking at the same time.

To do this, create a virtual character representing the group and list the characters involved, separated by a +.

Example 1:

@Sylvie and Henry:Sylvie+Henry
Hello everyone!

➡️ Here, Sylvie and Henry are saying the same line simultaneously.

Example 2:

@The two friends:Marc+Antoine
What?!

➡️ In this example, Marc and Antoine are speaking together.


🎭 2. Using different actors for the same role (e.g. change of act)

If one role is played by two different actors depending on the act or scene, you’ll need to create two separate characters in the text.

Example for the character Maurice:

  @Maurice1:

→ assign this to the first actor.
* In Act 2:

  @Maurice2:

→ assign this to the second actor.

This way, each actor can rehearse their own lines without overlapping with the other.


👯 3. Training an understudy for the same role

If you want a second actor (understudy) to rehearse the same role as a main actor, the solution is to create a duplicate of the text.

💡 Both texts are synchronized: any change made to the main text will automatically be reflected in the understudy version.
