There are many reasons why using actors within your organisation can benefit you… 

• Are you looking for consistency in your assessment centres?
• Do you want to create a safe environment for skills development?
• Would you like to bring your training to life?
• Are your learning situations fraught with tension?

An actor isn’t embarrassed to create an awkward scene, act out a difficult scenario or react to delegates’ ideas for alternative methods of dealing with a suggestion.

An actor retains his persona, using his drama skills to react as his character and not as himself.

As outsiders to your organisation, our roleplay actors sidestep the established relationships and hierarchies within the workplace. Delegates aren’t faced with the awkwardness of roleplaying against a manager.

Actors with genuine reactions also make training dynamic and memorable and are able to re-enact the same scene over again. At an event, for instance, they are able to reproduce the same lines throughout, with a consistent level of enthusiasm and engagement.

I know the delegates got a huge amount out of the event, especially the role plays. I know the professionalismand believability of your actors played a huge part in this.
