Actor

Acting is a creative career involving performing roles in theatre, television, film, radio, and other media. Actors bring characters to life by interpreting scripts, memorising lines, and collaborating with directors and other performers. The work can be varied, including stage performances, TV dramas, commercials, and voiceovers. Flexibility, resilience, and strong communication skills are important, as work is often irregular and actors can spend time auditioning between jobs. Many actors also supplement their income with related work, such as teaching drama or working in the arts sector.
