I've seen people do this before and I think it works well if you change your appearance substantially and make it clear to everyone OOC that it's a different character. On that basis, it seems to work better in private scenes rather than public ones, as in public you might constantly have to send people tells telling them you're a different character, as opposed to your normal character in disguise.
Personally, I either use low level alts or I use the character creator to snap screenshots of what the NPC looks like. I provide a link to those on my OneDrive to the participants, then I narrate their actions in the appropriate channel using a "narration" indicator (for me, the pilcrow, or paragraph mark: ¶), so that end result looks like:
L'yhta Mahre: ¶ The captain sputters, looking quickly from side to side. "N-now, sirrah, l-let's not be /too/ hasty..."
Again, that typically works best for private plot scenes, but I've done it in more public areas from time to time with success.
