Actor Jobs 2026 (Now Hiring) – Smart Auto Apply

About us

Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language.

Learning a language can change a life by opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. Two billion people around the world are actively trying to learn a language, but the best way to learn (one-on-one tutoring) is hard to access at scale and hasn’t been meaningfully improved in decades. Speak is building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket: a conversation-first experience that lets learners actually speak, get instant feedback, and progress through carefully designed lessons. The result is a complete path from beginner to confident speaker across multiple languages.

Speak first launched in South Korea in 2019, where Speak has now become the number one language learning app, and we now serve learners across many markets and 15+ languages. Speak is one of the world’s leading AI companies, with over $150m raised in venture investment from OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and more, with a distributed team across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.

What are we casting for?

We are seeking actors to appear in our app-based video lessons as language teachers (watch the sample video below under each role for reference). In these video lessons, you’ll be seated behind a table facing a camera and deliver pre-written scripts explaining language concepts and phrases for learners. While these lessons are not live, they are interactive. Scripts also contain questions to the user and a variety of responses based on their performance. When a user goes through a video lesson, the video recording of your teaching will play, along with opportunities for the app user to practice the language you are teaching.

Chinese teachers will act out bilingual scripts that teach English to speakers of Mandarin.

Notes:

• Actors for this role must be bilingual in Mandarin and English.

• Rather than a school-teacher, you will portray a professional perhaps in a different industry other than education, who is excited that their friend has decided to learn a new language (think helpful, friendly vibes rather than a strict teacher vibe).

• We seek actors who have achieved and can successfully and consistently demonstrate native-like proficiency and accent in both Chinese and English, whether they are a native Mandarin speaker, a heritage Chinese speaker, or speak Chinese as a second language. Those who learned Mandarin in high school or college will not qualify.

• We want the Mandarin to be delivered in a neutral Mandarin accent that appeals to global Mandarin speakers.

• For native Mandarin speakers, having an accent in English to a certain degree is ok, as long as your delivery of English lines is very clear, fluent, and easily comprehensible by English speakers.
