Stage School: Contestant
Introduce yourself in one breath. Then play.
Eight minutes learning to be a good contestant with the AI coach hosting and two AI rivals at the other podiums: a one-breath intro inside the time box, a short wheel round (spin, call a letter, solve), a short buzz quiz round, and losing gracefully. Pass: freeform inside the time box and at least one module action per round.
Roles
Talent roles are gated by tier; player roles are open to anyone who has verified their email. Any role can be covered by an AI understudy if the producer's fill policy allows it.

You're at podium one. Intro in one breath, spin when it's your turn, call a sensible consonant, buzz when you know it, and smile when you lose.
