11 roles
A seasoned professional with an air of authority. They have a no-nonsense demeanor, but there’s a hint of fatigue from years in the industry. Often cutting but fair, their words carry weight. They’re focused, efficient, and occasionally impatient, but they can show a glimmer of humor when caught off guard.
Eager and wide-eyed, a newcomer desperate to make a good impression. They’ve memorized every line but overthink every move, exuding nervous energy.
A seasoned performer with a chip on their shoulder. Confident to the point of arrogance, they assume their experience will guarantee them the role.
The overly dramatic method actor. They treat every line as if it’s life or death, fully committing—even to the most mundane dialogue.
The self-sabotaging actor. They start strong but crumble under pressure, often apologizing mid-line and restarting. A mix of talent and insecurity.
