Overview

Earn $74/hr (average pay) while working remotely on a flexible schedule.

Handshake AI is inviting actors, improvisers, and performers to join a paid, collaborative improv project. You'll be matched with other performers over video and given a light prompt or scenario to explore together.

Sessions are unscripted and open-ended. You'll improvise scenes, explore characters, and respond naturally in the moment, with plenty of creative freedom to shape how each interaction unfolds.

Projects are remote, part-time, and flexible, making them easy to fit alongside auditions, classes, or rehearsals.

What You'll Do

  • Improvise scenes and dialogue using light prompts, personality notes, and creative constraints. You'll have wide latitude to explore tone, emotion, and character choices.

  • Collaborate with other performers by building on scenarios and interactions that feel grounded, human, and fun to play.

  • Experiment with character, emotion, and subtext drawing on your acting instincts to create natural, engaging moments.

What We're Looking For

  • Acting or Improv Experience: Background in improv, acting, theater, sketch, or other performance-based work (formal training or real-world experience both welcome).

  • Strong Creative Instincts: You enjoy making bold choices, playing with character, and following the moment where it leads.

  • Emotional Awareness: Ability to recognize, express, and shift between emotions in a way that feels authentic and human.

  • Consistency & Care: You can stay true to a character's voice and emotional logic across a scene or interaction.
