How to play every part in a skit without filming each one

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Save yourself as a character in Rift, then tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the scene with every role as you: 'me as the customer, me as the waiter, me as the manager, all in one restaurant, the waiter drops the plate'. Change outfits per role so they read apart. Check the Draft and tap Make for a short skit up to 15 seconds.

Save yourself as a character once, then name every role in one line to Spark: the customer, the waiter, the manager, all you.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
Yourself saved as a character.
A skit you can explain in one sentence.

Step by step

Save yourself as a character from a few photos.
Write the scene with each role and its outfit.
Say the one beat that makes it funny.
Check the Draft and tap Make.

Lines to try with Spark

“Me as the customer, me as the waiter in an apron, me as the manager in a suit. The waiter drops the plate, everyone stares.”
“Me as a teacher and me as every student in the class raising a hand.”
“Me as the dog owner and me as the dog trainer, both pointing at my real dog.”
“Two of me at a job interview, one in a suit, one in pyjamas.”

Tips

Outfits do the work. Make each role look different at a glance.
One beat per skit. The drop, the stare, the reveal.

Questions people ask

How do people tell the roles apart?

Give each role a clear outfit or prop: an apron, a suit, a cap.

Can the characters talk?

Voice isn't in the app yet. Skits that work silently, or with text you add when posting, fit best.

How many roles fit in one video?

Two or three is clearest in a 15-second shot.

Do I need a separate photo for each role?

No. Save yourself as a character once, then name the role and outfit for each part in your line.
