Presenter / Actor – Retro Video Games TV Show

Job Position(s): Presenter / Actor - Retro Video Games TV Show

RAW.digital is hiring a Presenter / Actor for a retro video games TV show based in Saint Albans, England. This is an on-camera hosting role in television production, where the presenter serves as the face of a factual entertainment format built around classic gaming culture, guiding segments, demonstrating gameplay, and conducting interviews with collectors and industry figures. The role suits a performer with a background in presenting or hosting who is comfortable working spontaneously in front of a camera across a range of segment styles.

About the Role

The Presenter / Actor sits at the intersection of factual television and entertainment, working directly with the production team at RAW.digital on a show designed to reach viewers of all ages through gaming history and nostalgia. Shoot days are in-person and require sustained on-camera energy across multiple segments, from gameplay demonstrations to guest interviews. A typical day involves delivering prepared and extemporaneous material to camera, coordinating with the floor team, and keeping the pacing of the show sharp throughout filming.

Key Responsibilities

• Host individual show segments, guiding viewers through retro gaming content with clarity and on-camera authority across a range of classic platforms and titles.
• Demonstrate live gameplay mechanics and contextualise them within gaming history, making technical content accessible for a general television audience.
• Conduct on-camera interviews with guest gamers, collectors, and industry figures, holding the conversation and steering it toward useful, engaging content.
• Deliver both scripted lines and spontaneous commentary with equal confidence, adapting quickly when production schedules shift or segments run unexpectedly.
• Use physical performance, including movement and gesture, to maintain visual energy and keep the format from feeling static on screen.
• Work collaboratively with the production crew to hit marks, maintain eyeline, and sustain high energy levels across a full television production shoot day.

What You Bring

• Demonstrable experience in on-camera presenting, hosting, or performance, whether through broadcast television, digital content production, or live events.
• Genuine familiarity with retro video games and classic titles across multiple platforms, enough to speak credibly and engagingly without a script.
• Strong extemporaneous speaking ability, with the confidence to fill dead air or pivot mid-segment without losing the audience.
• Prior acting or entertainment credits are a plus, though strong screen presence and communication skills will carry equal weight.
• A showreel or on-camera footage to submit with your application is required.
