Acting - Self sacrificing yourself
Who's an actor? Now we all know that an actor is the one who gulps in the character which the director gives him/her to perform for the film. But that is not the only thing necessary for an actor. Every writer, and director is clear about what they want from their cast, and make sure that whatever role they have imagined for the characters will come out from them. An actor plays various roles in different kind of films, and most of the characters which is given to them are very distinct from their real life personality, and it's their responsibility for portraying something in nearly a perfect manner, in the reel life, and enthral the audience with their performance, giving justice to the screenplay, and the director's visualization as well. The job of an actor is also to add his/her imagination in between the scenario given to them, and you never know that it might be better than it was written. The actor should very well have the presence of mind, and know what is their character, how does the character live, eat, background and so on. Stanislavsky had given this world of acting which is known to be 'Method acting', where the actor behaves the same way their character is out of the reel life. This helps an actor a lot when it comes in understanding their character. Acting is not just getting into the character and delivering the dialogues, as it's futile in just doing that. It's a technique, which is very detailed. You have to understand what you have to portray, the way you'll stand, or sit, the diction, and you're voice modulation with the pauses as well in between, and also most importantly be very expressive as well. Sometimes even the script is poor, the acting enhances the story as well. Being a presentable actor, and just being an actor is very different. If an actor abstains their hard work then it'll not just harm their part of the film but the entire film as well. Picking up challenging roles will also help in you're career, as you'll overcome the challenges. Sometimes an actor just sticks to do what the director wants them, and this helps it making them look different in every kind of role, even avoiding being stereotype. And some actors are left so free that they can portray just what they have imagined regarding that particular situation, and even there is a balance between both. Exorbitant hard work will surely make people remember the role given to you for a very long time. The actor is the face of the film, and also it helps to augment the market of the film. An actor also should know how the frame is set, and to understand the key words used on set, because knowing what kind of lighting, frame, and so on is set will surely effect the look and scenario as well.
Acting is surely is to self sacrifice yourself, as you most of the time portray a character which you're not, and imbibe as much of the screenplay as you can by adding you're own creative ability. At the end of the day, and actor is the one who takes the story to different phases.
