Casting English learning app conversation-simulation videos.

Production states: "We're developing a sophisticated English-as-a-second-language learning app for kids, already with over 1 million users. The app is also a finalist of the British Council Award for Digital Innovation in English Language Training.

One of the upcoming components is an AI-powered conversation simulator. These conversations will consist of interactive video, each featuring two actors conversing with one another as well as breaking the 4th wall and conversing with the player/child. There will be approximately 2,000 conversations produced, across a small number of actors. The production of each conversation consists of recording approximately 25 short (10 seconds each) video clips, covering all the different ways in which the conversation may unfold. Note that the player input is handled using AI with speech recognition, matching each input to one of the pre-scripted options and falling back to some generic video response when failing to understand the user (e.g. the actor saying something like 'Oops, not sure I understood what you just said, can you repeat that?')

You will record yourself (and, in some cases, a co-actor) using any reasonable smartphone camera, with a tripod. We may ship you high end wireless microphones if the built-in audio quality will be subpar. Many of the videos can be shot inside any typical home, although some of them may require shooting outside, e.g. when sitting in a restaurant.

The role may optionally involve some improv, e.g. some small talk with your co-actor at the beginning and/or end of the scripted conversation, and the way in which you respond to various weird/funny inputs by the user.

We're looking to hire approximately five to ten actors, and we will give preference to hiring pairs who have submitted their audition together i.e. are able to meet in-person to record 100+ such conversations as part of the project."
