The speaker gives a lecture about the training of an actor. According to the speaker, to be a good actor, training is an essential component. During the training, an actor would need to observe others' behaviors and imitate others' performances. Apart from observation and imitation, it is also important to use your body movements to reflect your emotions. Your imagination and expressions are also very important to be an actor. Acting as a career involves more than just performing in movies. Working actors perform in live theater productions, at theme parks, in commercials, and on television shows. As actors start their careers, many work multiple jobs, such as working as extras in films or TV, to support themselves financially. While many actors live in large metropolitan areas, such as Los Angeles or New York, production companies all over the U.S. hire actors on a regular basis. Travel is often necessary, and competition for acting positions is extremely high. Acting can be a tiring career, both physically and emotionally; actors often spend hours at a time at repetitive auditions and rehearsals. Rejection is constant for new actors starting their careers.
