Acting can involve improvisation or using scripts. It requires a range of skills, including:
A well-developed imagination
Emotional facility
Physical expressivity
Vocal projection

The ability to interpret drama
The purpose of acting is to bring characters to life and to tell stories. Actors use their own features to represent the features that their characters would have. They intend that their audiences imagine that they are identical to their characters.
There are four key types of actors:
Personality Actors: Use their own personality to bring life to a character
Creative Actors: Go against their own personality
Chameleon Actors: Can play a wide variety of unrelated roles
Nonprofessional Actors: Add realism
