You can register your contribution in productions where the events are staged and the persons fictionalised in an entertaining and dramatic way, e.g. scripted reality series.

Requirements for a recognition of contributions as an actor, artistic narrator or dubbing actor are that the work is relevant according to copyright law and features an artistic performance. These two requirements are usually fulfilled if there is a script with (fictional) roles and text and if the contributors act under directions in a dramatic setup.

An artistic performance within the meaning of copyright law is always given if a role change takes place and a fictitious person is played. However, a change of roles would also be assumed if a real lawyer or doctor participates in a fictional, dramaturgically staged situation without actually practicing his or her profession as a lawyer or doctor. 

There is no change of roles if a natural person is playing her/himself even if she/he acts differently in front of the camera than in real life.

Appearances in productions which focus on information (“Infotainment”) cannot be remunerated.
