Alter Ego

An alter ego isn't fake—it's the part of you that's too real to show every day.

It's the voice that says what you're too polite to say. It's the version of you that's bolder, louder, weirder—or freer.

An alter ego can be a character, a costume, or just a shift in energy.

It lets you explore different opinions, emotions, and truths—without fear of judgment.

💡 Start not from the performance, but from the permission:

  • Who would you be if no one was watching?
  • What version of you only comes out when you're alone?
  • What does your alter ego dare to say that you don't?
  • What truth sounds better in their voice than your own?

🎯 Best formats:

  • Split-screen dialogue
  • Role-play monologue
  • Masked performance
  • Skit with character switch
  • Try switching between "real you" and "alter ego" on camera
  • Or create an entire world where your alter ego leads
