Freelance Video Actor (Australia)

Virtual Vocations is hiring a Freelance Video Actor based in Australia to deliver self-taped educational content for a remote production workflow. This role sits within the on-camera talent space, producing short-form instructional video content aimed at primary school children and teens across maths and English subjects. It suits a performer with a background in educational media production, corporate video, or children’s screen content who is comfortable working independently from a home studio setup.

About the Role

This is a remote video production role where the Freelance Video Actor works from their own filming setup, recording scripted lesson content supplied by Virtual Vocations. The output is short instructional videos designed for young learners aged five to seven and teenagers, requiring a clear, engaging screen presence calibrated to each age group. The typical workflow involves reviewing a pre-written script, self-taping to production spec, and returning footage for review with reshoots completed as directed.

Key Responsibilities

• Self-tape short-form instructional video content using pre-written scripts provided by the production team.
• Deliver on-camera educational segments with a presentation style appropriate for children aged five to seven and teen audiences.
• Follow detailed video production guidelines covering framing, lighting, audio quality, and on-screen delivery standards.
• Complete reshoots or rerecords when footage does not meet technical or performance requirements.
• Manage your own home studio setup to consistently produce broadcast-quality video footage across all deliverables.
• Maintain continuity of tone and pacing across multiple episodes of educational video content within the same subject area.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated credits in children’s television, educational video production, corporate video, or on-camera presenting.
• Proven ability to self-tape and deliver technically sound footage without on-set support.
• Experience with video editing and production techniques sufficient to assess and correct your own recordings before submission.
• Access to quality filming equipment including a camera, microphone, and appropriate lighting for professional video production.
• Engaging on-screen presence with the range to connect authentically with both young children and teenagers.
