The dominant themes in Nagali were epics depicted from Shah name or the story of Alexander’s quest for the elixir of life. Actors must memorize lines sometimes at great length. Actors rehearse their lines and performances with others in front of a camera or on stage. They must follow a director’s directions and some actors may need to learn a new skill for a part like dancing, stage fighting, or horseback riding. Some actors do voiceover or narration work for animated features or audiobooks. An actor needs the skills of creativity, memorization, reading, and speaking. They should be persistent and have physical stamina.
An Actor must make sure that their professional life doesn’t take over their personal life. For instance, it’s easy to spend an entire week learning lines or otherwise preparing for a role to the exclusion of their other day-to-day needs until their meeting or audition has happened. They may also spend considerable energy and time waiting for that phone call from their Agent or Manager about a potential callback or offer.
