Actor
Actors portray roles in both live and recorded or filmed
productions.
In the live performance area, an actor may perform in
theatre, opera or variety. In the recorded medium, an actor
may portray a role in film, radio, television and in
commercials for theatre, film, radio and television.
An actor may perform the following tasks:
- study the material, learn a part and interpret the role
through speech, gesture and various other performance skills
- attend auditions for parts in productions, performing
prepared or improvised pieces
- rehearse parts by memorising lines, cues and movements
- undertake extensive research for certain roles and
productions
- under the guidance of a director, act the part of the
film, television, stage or radio character in front of live
audiences, cameras or microphones
- attend costume fittings
- sing and dance when required.
Actors need a great deal of patience and commitment because
most productions require long rehearsal schedules and many
hours of memorising lines outside the rehearsal periods.
