actor Los Angeles, CA
Job description
Location: Los Angeles, CA
We are seeking professional actors with experience and credits to participate in an AI research project. As an actor for this project, you will be tasked with expressing different emotions, both verbally and nonverbally, based on various prompts and personas. The project involves improvisation and shooting in a three-camera, green screen studio setup. We aim to create expressive avatars that can emote realistically within virtual environments. Please note that this project does not intend to replace actors, but rather requires their expertise to cover a broad range of emotions and micro emotions. Shooting is scheduled to begin in July, and the pay is $300 for two hours of work.
NOTE regarding the current WGA and SAG strikes: Our project does not qualify as struck work. This is fully a research-based project and is in no way affiliated with the AMPTP. We strongly adhere to the ethical use of AI technology, and we are fully compliant with all global data privacy acts – this is a matter we take very seriously. Your likeness and voice will be used to train an AI database to better understand and express human emotions, but your individual likeness will not be used for any commercial purposes.
Responsibilities:
- Express different emotions (verbal and nonverbal) based on provided prompts and personas.
- Improvise brief scenes with given emotions and dialogue.
- Collaborate with the project team to achieve the desired results.
- Adhere to the shooting schedule and project guidelines.
Requirements:
- Professional acting experience.
- Ability to portray a wide range of emotions convincingly.
- Strong improvisation skills.
- Comfortable working in a three-camera, green screen studio setup.
- Availability for shooting beginning in July.
- Understanding of the project's goals and the use of your likeness for AI research.
It is important to note that the project is temporary in nature and, again, is not intended for commercial purposes. Minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. Residents of Illinois, Texas and Washington are not able to apply for the role.
If you are a talented actor with the ability to express emotions authentically and are interested in contributing to cutting-edge AI research, please apply. We value your skills and expertise in helping us to better train our technology to understand and emulate complex human emotions.
