An actor’s primary duty is to effectively communicate the character that they are playing to an audience, using their voice, body, actions and reactions. Through their art, actors tell stories, engender emotional reactions in their audience and make people think.
As you can expect, acting is not a typical nine-to-five job. Actors have to perform when the filming schedule demands it, or when performances are scheduled. Actors work anytime, including early mornings, evenings, late nights, weekends and national holidays.
Actors also work in all kinds of locations. If you’re working in theatre, you’ll most likely be working on stage and in rehearsal studios. However, if you’re working in television and film, you’ll find yourself in television studios, film studios or acting on-set in random locations.
If the production you’re working on is set abroad, you may even get the opportunity to travel and work
