Bringing a story to life

Since ancient times men and females have practised the art of acting- playing the role of a character in a narrative, for the entertainment of an audience. Why basically read a narrative when you can participate in it, playing the roles and turning it in to a display of skill?
Actors have found various mediums over the centuries, from voice acting on radio, theater acting and cinema. From the Latin word agĕre meaning “to do” (see Wikipedia), actors literally play a role, speaking written dialogue and physically performing in a way that the character would. In most acting, a director is present, whose job is to tell the other actors what to do and make definite that the whole act is going smoothly and as the writer of the scenario wanted.
Actors are necessary to possess plenty of skills such as physical strength and dexterity, vocal imitation and charisma. The modern cinema industry employs thousands of actors to play the roles of characters in film scripts, recording them for show on the silver screen. Acting in cinema is seldom done before an audience, but has the added pressure of being seen by millions on the later screen release.
Acting is a traditional art form and plenty of actors learn by going to established academic institutions. Famous institutions include the London Academy of Film, Radio and TV and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Some actors train at a variety of different places, learning classical acting techniques and modern ones such as Process Acting. This is a style of acting in which the actor strives to be as realistic as feasible, drawing on personal experience of emotional situations than dramatising
