Avatar Roleplay Configuration
Summary: Step by step guide on how to configure your Avatar Roleplays and highlighting available features..
Getting Started
Users can browse diverse, skill-focused categories, each featuring multiple roleplay scenarios that expand regularly with continuous updates. To access Avatar Roleplay Configuration, simply select the option from the main menu as shown below:
Choosing your Roleplay Scenario
Select a roleplay scenario by choosing a skill-based category from the left panel. Your selection will display all available scenarios in that category.
Note: XR Rooms only available in Virtual/Mixed-Reality
You can then select a scenario from within that category by choosing from the available options shown in the example below. These scenarios are continuously updated, with new options added regularly to each category as we develop VirtualSpeech Roleplays further.
Upon scenario selection, a description window will display, enabling you to initiate or customize your roleplay according to your account tier and administrative privileges.
Starting your Avatar Roleplay
Once you've explored the skill-based categories and reviewed the available roleplay scenarios, you can confirm your selection by clicking 'Start Roleplay'.
To personalize your avatar roleplay, visit 'Settings' where you can adjust the environment, customize your avatar, add presentation slides, enable suggested responses, and explore additional features.
When you start your avatar roleplay you will be instructed to enter the name you would like to be addressed as in the VirtualSpeech app.
What is Settings Configuration
After selecting a roleplay scenario, you can customize your experience through the settings configuration. This section provides a range of options—such as environment selection, avatar choice, suggested responses, countdown timers, and conversation language—allowing you to tailor every aspect to your preferences.
Language - Select the language for all avatar interactions. Avatars will communicate exclusively in your chosen language, and feedback will match accordingly. Note that some interface text will remain in English.
Scene Selection - Browse a diverse library of environments tailored to different roleplay scenarios. Certain scenes are exclusively available for specific storylines or contexts.
Avatar Selection - Select an avatar that complements your roleplay. All avatars support multiple languages and can adjust their accent to match your preferences.
Suggested Responses - Access a panel of helpful prompts and conversation suggestions to guide your responses when you need inspiration during roleplay.
Timer - You can set a timer up to 30 minutes which will automatically wrap up your roleplay when the timer starts to run out to limit how long your roleplay will last. You can still manually end the roleplay before the timer ends.
Language Proficiency Level - Selecting a proficiency level will give you the options and flexbility for how you want your conversations to be analysed based on your personal level.
Input Type - You can choose whether you would like to choose 'Manual Mode' where you can choose when you want to submit your verbal response by selecting the button or you can select 'Realtime mode' where the submissions are automatic and the avatar will response appropriately when you have finished speaking.
Scenario Based Settings - Different roleplay scenarios offer unique configuration options tailored to their purpose. For example, interview scenarios may include settings like company type, job level, and industry, while debates or pitch presentations may restrict avatar or environment choices. Each scenario's available options depend on its specific requirements:
Name - Personalize your roleplay by selecting a name for yourself. If you prefer not to choose one, a default name will be automatically assigned.
Company Type - Select a specific company type to customize your roleplay scenario and ensure it aligns with your learning objectives.
Job Proficiency Level - Choose your desired experience level, ranging from junior to senior positions, to match the complexity of your scenario.
Industry - Specify an industry (such as tech, pharmaceuticals, or others) to tailor your roleplay experience to your sector of interest.
CV Selection - Upload your own CV or resume to enhance personalization. Your avatar will reference your background and experience to create a more relevant and targeted roleplay scenario.
Custom Questions - Upload your own custom questions to personalize your audience to ask your uploaded questions during your speech presentation.
Reset to Default - Each roleplay has default settings available
The ‘Confirm Settings’ button will remain disabled until all required fields are completed. If anything is missing, a pop-up will inform you which settings still need to be configured.
