The outstanding component of acting is that it is an aspect that calls for a wide variety of skills. A single person to form a totally different personality from that possessed by the acting person must synchronize these skills. Some of the most common skills necessary for an actor are vocal projection, physical expressiveness, speech clarity, well-developed imagination, emotional facility drama interpretive ability. Also not to forget mentioning other important capabilities that an actor must have are; utilization of accents, body languages, dialects, improvisation, mimicry, emulation, stage combat and observation (Jurkowski and Francis 44). Another fascinating fact about acting is that it combines both talent and special training programs. Due to this fact it offers opportunities to any person who has an interest in becoming a theatre performer. The training has as well availed a chance for the emergence of professional actors who never seize from learning new elements from now and then. These people are among those who undergo training in various sub-disciplines making them diverse and multifunctional. An actor can be good at singing, dancing, partner work, scene work among others. Bundling all these qualities into one single person is a fascinating element which makes them fit for any duty that might be availed to them. Therefore acting as

If one would to ask you how Julie Andrews, James Earl Jones, and Jim Parsons have anything in common, the simplest answer besides them all having a name that start with a J, is that they’re among the many actors and actresses that enjoy successful careers both on stage and on screen. Although film acting differs from stage acting, the practice can still equip an actor to excel at both. But the point at hand is still at question, just how do these two different forms of entertainment both come together with their similarities, but yet separate when it comes to their differences?

Over three centuries ago, many people were put to their torturous death by being falsely accused of witchcraft. Innocent people were accused on a hunch but for no reason.

I grew up in a family of artists. My parents were singers and musicians. I began acting in shows during elementary school. As an adult, I acted in community and regional theaters. I performed in Urdu and Punjabi languages. I grew up in a culturally diverse household and community. This enabled me to relate to different personal and societal experiences, and to live out my own and other people 's stories through my acting. Also, my collaborative nature, strong sense of imagination and interest in poetry, literature, politics, public affairs and human experience has helped me play many roles effectively.

The classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird demonstrates that during the early 1900’s it was socially unacceptable to be a “nigger-lover” (Lee 144). The main issue revealed by the author in the novel is that the society is very prejudice towards the colored and poor. This makes it difficult to make the morally correct decision versus what is considered socially adequate. Through character development, foils between characters, and symbolism the author, Harper Lee, clearly emphasizes the importance in having perspective in viewing courage and respect-- in doing the right thing even if it means becoming a disgrace in society.

This view gives us a deeper understanding of behaviours as performances. A personal example of looking at a performativity culture and analyzing it, is the roles people play in everyday life. The role of a

Parsi’s goal of having as much creative control as possible will not be achieved if the known actor is hired. There is a chance that the studio and the actor will want the actor’s part to be the center of the film which may differ from Parsi’s creative idea. Tauzen, our known actor, has been known to cause problems in creativity while working on films. The studio will provide more funding to the film if Tauzen is hired, but will consequently cause the studio to have more oversight over the production. If Parsi wants to maintain control over the creativity of the film, having the studio have more oversight of the production will not help meet this goal. Also, Tauzen is known to have a past of creating delays in filming which consequently caused

The strengths and weaknesses of a committed actor can be paradoxical. For this area I chose to consult with an acting colleague of 17 years. I thought it was necessary to have an objective perspective to honestly describe what has been observed from someone that knows me, personally. The following paragraph from a close friend and veteran actor explains this quandary in her description of me.

The career of my choice has many steps to getting this career. I researched the U.S. Air force. The U.S. Air Force only hires the ones that the recruiter believes are the most dedicated to obtain the job. There is a list of things that each recruiter looks for in all applicants. These characteristics may include having birth certificates ready to go, asking for specific date on next appointment, and many other good work habits. After the recruiting stages you have the MEPS which is basically the process that disqualifies any un-eligible applicants. The U.S. Air Force is extremely strict on who they hire. After each test is accepted then you will be transferred to your Basic Military Training or also known as (BMT).

Ever since I took drama classes in high school I felt that we always put on an act. A show almost, that we put out for the people we interact with daily. Erving Goffman, “Canadian-American Sociologist” (Encyclopedia In., 2017) also believed this, he compared social interactions to the theater, where individuals take a particular role. According to Goffman this “theatrical metaphor consists of a stage, actors, and an audience” (Crossman, 2014). It also consists of the onstage, backstage and offstage. These three stages show different behavior on a person.
