ACTING is the work of an actor or Actress , a person in theatre, film, or any
other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and,
usually, speaking or singing the written text or play. From the Latin word agĕre
meaning "to do", this is precisely what acting is. In acting, an actor
suppresses or augments aspects of their personality in order to reveal the
actions and motivations of the character for particular moments in time. The
actor is said to be "assuming the role" of another, usually for the benefit of
an audience, but also because it can bring one a sense of artistic satisfaction.
Actors are generally expected to possess a number of skills, including good
vocal projection, clarity of speech, physical expressiveness, a good sense of
perspective, emotional availability, a well developed imagination, the ability
to analyze and understand dramatic text, and the ability to emulate or generate
emotional and physical conditions. Well-rounded actors are often also skilled in
singing, dancing, emotional expressiveness, imitating dialects and accents,
improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, stage combat, and performing
classical texts such as Shakespeare. Many actors train at length in special
programs or colleges to develop these skills, which have a wide range of
different artistic philosophies and processes. Modern pioneers in the area of
acting have included Mani Madhava Chakyar, Konstantin Stanislavski, Jerzy
Grotowski, Lee Strasberg, Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Michael Chekhov, Viola Spolin,
Sanford Meisner, Bertolt Brecht, and Maria Ouspenskaya.
An actor is a person who acts, or plays a role, in a dramatic production. The
term commonly refers to someone working in movies, television, live theatre, or
radio, and can occasionally denote a street entertainer. Besides playing
dramatic roles, actors may also sing or dance or work only on radio or as a
voice artist. An actor usually plays a fictional character. In the case of a
true story (or a fictional story that portrays real people) an actor may play a
real person (or a fictional version of the same).
An audition is a sample performance by an actor, singer, musician, dancer or
other performing artist. It is used in the casting process to demonstrate the
level and range of a performer's talent, and functions as a job interview for
the performing arts. A typical audition involves the performer displaying their
talent through a previously-memorized and rehearsed solo piece: for example, a
monologue for actors or a song for a singer. For actors, the audition piece is
typically not from the show being considered; an actor wishing to be cast in
Hamlet would not likely do a monologue from that play. However, most performers
do have a range of audition pieces and select something appropriate; an actor
auditioning for Hamlet would have a dramatic Shakespearean monologue ready, and
not perform a monologue from an Oscar Wilde comedy, or a contemporary
playwright. Similarly, a singer auditioning for a role in a musical theatre
production would not sing opera or country music, and a musician auditioning for
a seat in an orchestra wouldn't perform rock. Some auditions involve cold
reading, or performing a script that the actor is not familiar with. Likewise,
musicians may be asked to sight read music at various levels of difficulty. This
is similar to many dance auditions, in which the focus is on learning new
choreography, rather than showcasing prepared work.
