On Camera Talent (UGC/Reels Actor)

Especial Agency is hiring On Camera Talent for UGC and short-form social media content production based in Leicester, England. This role sits within the branded content and digital media space, where talent performs directly to camera to produce product demonstrations, promotional reels, and authentic short-form videos for client campaigns. It suits performers, presenters, or creators who are comfortable in front of the lens and want paid credits across commercial content production.

About the Role

On Camera Talent at Especial Agency works across a roster of brand and social media clients, producing short-form video content built for platforms like Instagram and TikTok. A typical shoot day involves reviewing scripts or briefs, filming product-led segments on location, and working with the wider content and marketing team to deliver material that reads as natural rather than produced. The role is ongoing and paid per session, making it a practical way to build a commercial performance portfolio while maintaining flexibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform to camera for short-form branded content including reels, UGC-style videos, and social media ad formats.
• Deliver product demonstrations and service walkthroughs in a way that feels grounded and credible to the target audience.
• Work from supplied scripts or content briefs while bringing enough personal presence to keep the material feeling unscripted.
• Coordinate with content creators and marketing teams during pre-production to align on tone, framing, and messaging.
• Assist with on-location setup where required, including basic staging and continuity checks between takes.
• Engage with audience comments or participate in live session formats when requested as part of a campaign deliverable.

What You Bring

• Confidence performing to camera with a natural screen presence, whether from acting, presenting, teaching, or content creation backgrounds.
• Prior experience in social media content production or brand influencer work is useful but not required to apply.
• Strong verbal communication skills and the ability to take direction quickly and apply it within a live filming environment.
• Organisational ability to manage your own schedule across multiple booked filming sessions.
• A background in public speaking, dance, or performance is considered relevant experience for this type of on camera work.
