ACTOR/ACTRESS

Zevra Gray Ltd is hiring an Actor/Actress for commercial and promotional video productions based in Nairobi, Kenya. This role sits on the performance side of commercial production, with talent delivering scripted and improvised content for brand campaigns, online advertisements, and short-form video projects. It suits a screen performer who is comfortable working across formats, from single-day commercial shoots to multi-scene brand productions.

About the Role

The Actor/Actress will work directly with directors and production teams across commercial video production and promotional content shoots in and around Nairobi. A typical day involves script run-throughs, taking direction on set, and delivering polished on-camera performances that meet brand briefs across multiple takes and setups. The role draws on a range of performance styles, from direct-to-camera presenter delivery to character-driven narrative work for advertising production.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform scripted dialogue and improvised sequences for commercial video production and brand promotional content.
• Receive and interpret creative direction from directors, adjusting performance tone and delivery between takes to meet the production brief.
• Memorize scripts ahead of shoot days and arrive camera-ready with lines and blocking prepared.
• Represent client brands on camera with clarity, authenticity, and consistent energy across extended shooting schedules.
• Maintain professional conduct and punctuality throughout rehearsals, fittings, and production days.
• Adapt to varied set environments, including studio shoots, location work, and social media content production around Nairobi.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated on-camera performance ability, with credits in TV commercials, online advertising, short film, theatre, or content creation.
• Clear, fluent English delivery suitable for brand-facing commercial work, with additional languages considered an asset.
• Natural screen presence and confidence in front of the camera across both scripted and unscripted formats.
• Training in acting, theatre, media, or performing arts is an advantage, though production experience is equally considered.
• Availability for shoots within Nairobi and surrounding areas, with flexibility across varying production schedules.
