To perform and portray a character from a true or fictional story intended to entertain a wider audience. This can be dramatic or comedic via any medium including radio, television, theatre, film and street theatre.
Most actors have varying comprehension of what "acting" is and approach the craft depending on their training and experience in performance and life.
For some, acting is life, acting is entertainment, acting is escaping your own personality, acting is a chance to extend yourself in a way that virtually has no limits because you never judge the character in which you play, but research and delve deeply into their world all while naturally bringing your own flavour to the final product.

Acting is not a look darling, it's a skill. Don't audition for me until you get some fucking training.

Acting is the art, profession or occupation of performing in a stage play, movie, television or radio program. Acting is basically pretending to be someone other than yourself, known as a character or sometimes fictional character, and using your facial expressions, vocals, emotions and body language to bring the character to life, in front of a screen or audience. In acting you are suppose to act as if no one is around but you and the other actors (In a scene, there is no such thing as an audience, camera, producer, director, etc. None of them exist). When acknowledging the audience or the camera, this is known as "breaking the fourth wall", which is the imaginary wall that seperates the actors from the audience. This usually happens in comedy. For example, really the cameras and the front of the stage are, in a sense, "us" looking at the audience and if the actors acknowledge us and the that we're watching them, that's breaking out of character and acknowledging they're fictionality. Acting is a very interesting job and, just like everyone can't sing, everyone cannot act. Acting, just like singing, is destined for certain people. Thank God I can do both, lol
