Here are four common work activities for actors:
-
Auditioning: Performing readings or scenes from scripts to demonstrate suitability for roles in films, television shows, theatre productions, or commercials.
-
Rehearsing: Collaborating with directors and fellow cast members to practice lines, blocking (the staging of performers), and character development in preparation for performances.
-
Performing: Delivering lines and portraying characters during live performances, film shoots, or television recordings, bringing scripts to life for an audience.
-
Interpreting Scripts: Analyzing and understanding character motivations, themes, and context of the script to effectively convey the story through performance.
