10. STRUGGLING MAKES US
ACTIVE
Most actors struggle to find steady work, and few achieve
recognition as stars. Some work as "extras"—actors who
have no lines to deliver but are included in scenes to give a
more realistic setting. Some actors do voiceover or
narration work for animated features, audiobooks, or other
electronic media.
In some stage or film productions, actors sing, dance, or
play a musical instrument. For some roles, an actor must
learn a new skill, such as horseback riding or stage fighting

12. SPECIAL EDUCATION FOR THEM TO LEARN
SOMETHING NEW.
Many actors enhance their skills through formal dramatic education. Many
who specialize in theater have bachelor's degrees, but a degree is not
required.
Although some people succeed in acting without getting a formal
education, most actors acquire some formal preparation through a theater
company's acting conservatory or a university drama or theater arts
program. Students can take college classes in drama or filmmaking to
prepare for a career as an actor. Classes in dance or music may help as
well.
Actors who do not have a college degree may take acting or film classes to
learn their craft. Community colleges, acting conservatories, and private
film schools typically offer these classes. Many theater companies also

14. IMPORTANCE FOR
HIMImportant Qualities for Actors
Creativity. Actors interpret their characters' feelings and motives in order to portray the characters in
the most compelling way.
Memorization skills. Actors memorize many lines before filming begins or a show opens. Television
actors often appear on camera with little time to memorize scripts, and scripts frequently may be
revised or even written just moments before filming.
Persistence. Actors may audition for many roles before getting a job. They must be able to accept
rejection and keep going.
Physical stamina. Actors should be in good enough physical condition to endure the heat from
stage or studio lights and the weight of heavy costumes or makeup. They may work many hours,
including acting in more than one performance a day, and they must do so without getting overly
tired.
Reading skills. Actors must read scripts and be able to interpret how a writer has developed their
character.
Speaking skills. Actors—particularly stage actors—must say their lines clearly, project their voice,
and pronounce words so that audiences understand them.
In addition to these qualities, actors usually must be physically coordinated to perform
predetermined, sometimes complex movements with other actors, such as dancing or stage fighting,
in order to complete a scene.

Actors hold about 63,800 jobs.
The largest employers of
actors are as follows:

18. CAN DO UNION
MEMBERSHIP
Union Membership for Actors
Compared with workers in all occupations, actors have a
higher percentage of workers who belong to a union.
Many film and television actors join the Screen Actors
Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists
(SAG-AFTRA), whereas many stage actors join the
Actors' Equity Association. Union membership can help
set work rules, and assist actors in receiving benefits and
bigger parts for more pay. Union members must pay
yearly dues, which can be expensive for actors who are
beginning their careers.

20. OUTLOOK FOR
THEM
Employment of actors is projected to grow 12 percent over the
next ten years, faster than the average for all occupations. Job
growth in the motion picture industry will stem from continued
strong demand for new movies and television shows. The number
of Internet-only platforms, such as streaming services, is likely to
increase, along with the number of shows produced for these
platforms. This growth may lead to more work for actors.
Actors who work in performing arts companies are expected to
see slower job growth than those in film. Many small and medium-
size theaters have difficulty getting funding. As a result, the
number of performances is expected to decline. Large theaters,
with their more stable sources of funding and more well-known
plays and musicals, should provide more opportunities.

22. PROSPECTS FOR
THEM
Actors face intense competition for jobs.
Most roles, no matter how minor, have
many actors auditioning for them. For
stage roles, actors with a bachelor's
degree in theater may have a better
chance of landing a part than those
without one.

24. ADVANCEMENT FOR
ACTOR
As an actor's reputation
grows, he or she may
work on bigger projects or
in more prestigious
venues. Some actors
become producer and
director.

26. BUT WHAT THEY
DO ?
Actors express ideas and portray
characters in theater, film, television,
and other performing arts media. They
interpret a writer's script to entertain or
inform an audience.
