Acting is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film, or any other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and, usually, speaking or singing the written text or play. Most early sources in the West that examine the art of acting (Ancient Greek: hypokrisis) discuss it as part of rhetoric.

What are some great acting tips for aspiring actresses?
Q. I really like acting but am not very good. I am in a class skit thing and I want to make myself sound unbelievable. I also really want a lead part in the school play this year. I keep looking on Google for tips but I am very well hoping that someone here will have some answers. I really need some key tips to help become a better actress. P.s I can be really loud when I want to be, most of the time I am shy. How do I break out of this protective shell?

A. Well don't be embarrassed to be loud and crazy put it all out there. Other actors when they work with Nicolas cage they say him putting it all out there not worrying what others think is what makes him a great actor. Hope this will help.

How do i get noticed and start acting? Where do i begin?
Q. I love to act and I just need something to start me off in a good position. I am 15 years old and have an athletic body and 5'11. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada! I took 1 year of theater class and my theater teacher is pushing me to go to auditions, but i can't find any. I also plan on taking theater through out my high school. I also took some acting camps throughout my life. Much appreciated!

A. -First off, make sure you have a decent headshot & resume. These tools will get you the job. -Then find auditions through your local newspaper, theatres, or film commission. Your high school will probably have plays, too. -If you really want to take your career further, submit to agents. You can find them by searching "acting agents in Las Vegas, Nevada" on google. They should be SAG/AFTRA affiliated or franchised and not charge upfront fees. -Your acting coach should also offer some help. Read books like "Act Now" by Peter Jazwinski (myactingagent.com) and visit actingbiz.com for more info. Good luck with your career!

  • For an actress to be a success she must have the face of Venus, the brains of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
    • Ethel Barrymore quoted in George Jean Nathan's The Theatre in the fifties
  • ACTOR: A professional exhibitionist who manufactures emotions in a manner convincing enough to earn a living, generally by reciting the daily specials to restaurant patrons.
    • Rick Bayan, The Cynic's Dictionary
  • It's not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying.
  • For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.
  • An actor's a guy, who if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.
  • Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. Quitting acting, that's the sign of maturity.
    • Marlon Brando, Halliwell's Filmgoer's and Video Viewer's Companion
  • Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts. Whenever we want something from somebody or when we want to hide something or pretend, we're acting. Most people do it all day long.
