Acting

Acting is the art of performing a role in a theatrical, film, television, or other artistic production. It involves portraying a character through speech, movement, and emotional expression to engage the audience and convey a narrative. Actors interpret scripts and embody their characters’ traits, motivations, and emotions, often drawing upon their own experiences or imaginative resources to bring authenticity to their performances. The practice of acting encompasses various techniques and styles, from method acting, which emphasizes emotional truth and personal connection to the character, to more stylized forms of expression. Acting can involve both scripted material and improvisation, allowing actors to respond spontaneously to their surroundings and fellow performers. The craft is often honed through training and rehearsal, focusing on skills such as voice control, body language, and character development.
