for online and face-to-face role play work
What is ActorBank/ AvatarJo ?
We provide flexible role-play work for jobbing actors with great character and improvisation skills. Our client facing brand (the shop-front, if you like) is AvatarJo. Check out the services our actors provide here.
Our actors are specially trained to help people practise difficult conversations. We specialise in online via-video role-play, which means our actors can work from home, although we also offer face-to-face work.

Training and Recruitment Process
To work via-video, all actors must complete our online training course. This course will provide training and set up support allowing you to work autonomously with a wide variety of clients.
Why we train our actors
Conducting our via-video work requires high technical competency and a unique skillset. Our actors are required to do more than just act, they need to be able to;
-
Seamlessly handle the technical set up of the client
-
Handle clients attending on multiple devices
-
Solve technical issues
-
Pay exquisite attention to the client's behaviour in order to give comprehensive feedback
-
Facilitate learning objectives and desired outcomes of the client
...and all whilst at the same time playing a convincing character - it's a juggling act which takes practise to perfect and deliver effortlessly.
