Acting

Acting is the art or practice of portraying a character in a performance, especially in theater, film, or television. It involves adopting a role and expressing emotions, thoughts, and actions of that character through voice, movement, and body language. Actors interpret scripts, embody the personas of their characters, and engage with other performers to convey narratives to an audience. The process requires skills such as improvisation, memorization, emotional expression, and an understanding of dramatic techniques. Acting can vary in style from realistic to exaggerated, depending on the genre and intent of the performance. It is a fundamental element of storytelling in the performing arts.
