# Actors Create an actor ingredient from a stock actor or an uploaded image. The best actor references have a clear face, front-facing angle, good lighting, minimal occlusion, and the general vibe you want in the final ad. In prompts, use `@Actor` as the subject and describe the action, emotion, and framing. Example: `@Actor speaks to camera with skeptical energy and says @Hook.` If identity drifts, simplify the prompt, remove conflicting appearance details, use a cleaner reference, or choose a model/mode that better supports references. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.avastudio.com/ingredients/actors.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
