Answer
I talk about AI in demos as a tool, not a shortcut or a co‑star that replaces you. Used thoughtfully, it can enhance performance in a few ways:
- It can stand in as a “scene partner,” helping you practice timing, reactions, and conversational rhythm before you ever step into a demo session
- It lets you experiment safely with different reads, pacing, and emotional beats, then refine your human performance
- It forces you to up your game: if a synthetic voice can sound “good enough,” your acting, specificity, and authenticity have to be undeniably better
I never recommend AI to mask weak acting or to fake range. It should support strong, coachable performance, not try to be the performance.
What kind of demo are you thinking about right now—commercial, narration, character, or something else?
