Bilingual Actor - French - English

About the role

We are seeking actors to appear in our app-based video lessons as language teachers. In these video lessons, you'll be seated behind a table facing a camera and deliver pre-written scripts explaining language concepts and phrases for learners. While these lessons are not live, they are interactive. Scripts also contain questions to the user and a variety of responses based on their performance.

Responsibilities

• Read scripts from the teleprompter in both French and English to teach French to English speakers.
• Portray a professional in a different industry other than education who is excited that their friend has decided to learn a new language (think helpful, friendly vibes rather than a strict teacher vibe).

Requirements

• Native proficiency in both French and English
• A neutral French accent
• Ability to read and act out scripts that teach French to speakers of English
• We have a strong preference for native French speakers and/or heritage French speakers
• A strong sense of responsibility and professionalism
• Bright and positive vibes
• Ability to coordinate and take directions
• Live in Los Angeles and have access to transportation

Preferred

• Experience working with a teleprompter
• Experience in teaching a second language
• Acting experience

Why work at Speak

• Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time: we're growing very quickly, we've most recently raised our Series C from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets.
• You'd join at a magical time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company.
• Do your life's work with people you’ll love working with: we care strongly about our craft and want every person at Speak to feel like they're growing every day. We believe in the idea that working with people you both enjoy and have respect for makes everything better.
• We hire thoughtfully and only work with people we admire deeply.
• Global in nature: We're live in over 40 countries and launching in a number of new markets soon. We have dedicated offices in San Francisco, Ljubljana, Seoul, and Tokyo, and you’ll have the opportunity to talk to users in each of these regions on a regular basis as well as travel.
• Impact people's lives in a major way: Learning a language is one of the single most life-changing skills one can learn, and right now 99% of people never achieve their goal because the process is broken. We’re helping millions of people achieve their goals and improve their lives.
