Practice run-of-show

Free Rehearsal Timer

Use a rehearsal timer for speaker practice, stage run-throughs, dance rehearsals, music sets, cue-to-cue checks, breaks, and final notes before a live event.

Built for this job

Teams can rehearse against real event timing instead of rough estimates.

Speakers and performers get feedback without losing the schedule.

Production teams can control timing from one device while the rehearsal display stays visible.

Presets that match real work

Start from a timer people already understand.

Each preset has a clear use case, duration, and workflow. That makes the page useful for search visitors immediately, and gives professional users a natural path into XTimer rooms when they need separate controller and viewer devices.

Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Run at least one rehearsal with the same timing as the live event.

Separate feedback time from performance time so notes do not swallow the run-through.

Use cue-to-cue timing when production transitions matter more than full performance flow.

Use XTimer rooms for rehearsal rooms with a visible display and separate control device.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rehearsal timer?

A rehearsal timer helps speakers, performers, and production teams pace practice runs, cue checks, feedback, corrections, breaks, and final notes.

Can I use this for speaker practice?

Yes. The speaker practice preset includes setup, full talk run, feedback, and a second pass.

What is cue-to-cue timing?

Cue-to-cue timing focuses on transitions, technical cues, lights, sound, and stage changes rather than performing every moment in full.
