Why Organizations Love Professional Actors For Corporate Role-playing?
Roleplaying is not new to corporate training sessions. Traditionally, trainees themselves roleplay different situations so their co-workers can watch different situations in action, play with different solutions and learn while having some fun. However, when you bring professional actors into the mix to ‘play roles’, the entire experience becomes more engaging and effective.
Why use professional actors in corporate training?
Professional actors are experts at playing a variety of roles and creating believable situations and performances. It’s easy to forget that they are simply ‘acting’.
The same happens when actors enact a workplace scenario. The actor can combine a realistic situation and reaction consistently over time. This brings the situation comes to life, allowing participants to engage and achieve learning outcomes.
Here is a quick look at how professional actors are more effective in corporate roleplaying.
- Professional actors can take action as a co-worker, bosses, customers, or anyone else to aid sales, negotiation, conflict management, and other training.
- Professional actors can enact emotional scenarios with ease. At the same time, they can improvise and enact the same scenario with a different perspective or in response to a proposed solution.
- Professional actors can bring imaginary situations to life. As a result, participants can practice hypothetical interactions and solutions as if they are real.
- A professional actor can give unbiased feedback based on the experience of the character. This can help the participant understand their own experience better.
- Professional actors can deliver a performance consistently over time to support reliable outcomes in training sessions.
