This job requires you to research characters, study script dialogue and rehearse performances so you may give an accurate character portrayal. You may confer with other actors and directors as to the emotions, gestures and facial expressions your character might display. Depending upon what is called for in the script, you may deliver comedic performances or be required to act, sing and dance in a production. Hiring of actors and actresses is expected to increase by approximately 1% between 2018 and 2028, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov). Acting jobs were expected to rise as interactive media and online movies become more mainstream.
