Actors portray characters in stories such as plays, musicals, films, television shows and radio shows. They engage with the audience and convince them through altered speech patterns, hand gestures and more that they truly are the character. When necessary, actors also change their appearance such as their hair color or body weight to physically portray and embody their character. An actor brings characters to life through their performances in various forms of entertainment, including theater, film, television, and other media. Actors use their talents to embody the personalities, emotions, and experiences of fictional or historical figures, effectively communicating their stories and connecting with audiences on an emotional level.
