2. Of An Actor
A typical day for an actor is usually waking up early and getting all there house work and daily activity done. If this actor is married they would do the same thing, but just add making there kids lunch waking them up and taking them to school before they got to do there job. After all that is done the actor would go to set and act. They would have to memorize there lines the night before so that they would not struggle on set and would not have to keep on looking at there sheet. A actor usually stays one set for about 3-5 hours so they can get at least a part of the movie or commercial done. After the actor is done he/she would go home and either practice there lines maybe just relax for a bit and if the actor has children they would go pick them up feed them and let them do there thing.

3. How Technology Impacts Actors
There is only one down side to actors when it comes to technology is that all the haters start posting stuff that is not true which some people believe is. That ruins the actors reputation. The good things are that making a movie involves a actor and to create the movie you need technology such as cameras and computers. And how is the movie going to play at the theatre without technology. Another thing that is good is that some actors get s or phone calls regarding acting in a movie.

4. Are Male & Female actors
What are The Hazards To
Health & Safety
Are Male & Female actors
Treated The Same
Being an actor can be a tough job. If you are famous you would get lots of offers for acting in a movie which sometimes can cause stress if you don’t know which one to pick. Sometimes if you are a stunt devil you can get injured while preforming a dangerous stunt.
I’d say that they are mostly treated equally. For an example if there is an action movie you would mostly think that it would be a male acting, but there have been many movies with a female doing action scenes. The only other thing is that some directors want to show “the females beauty”. So in some scenes of a movie they would make a part where the women is half naked so the movie would get more views. But overall not including that they are treated the same.

5. What Organizations Are There Among Actors
Some organizations are The Toronto Acting School, The Vancouver Acting school, The New York Film Academy, and The Van Arts school. There are many more but in different places further from these.

6. Are There Any Laws Or Special Regulations To Practice This
There are no special regulations to practice this except maybe some acting places you may need a diploma to go into it.

7. What Physical Qualities Are Required What Other Personality
Traits Are Required
It depends on what role you are playing and what the movie is about. Say that it is a movie about some dancers. For that movie you will be sent to a dance school for a few weeks or even months to learn all the dances that would be in the movie. So like I said it depends on what type of movie it’s going to be. Also you need to be brave and not have fear.
Also for this one it depends on what the movie is about. Say it’s a sad movie. Now for that movie the person must learn how to cry in a snap. Or it can be a action movie and in there the person would have to be big and tough. You might have to do some stunts by yourself so you would have to be brave and have no fear. So basically it depends for this as well.

8. What Education Do You Need
Although no formal training is strictly required to become an actor or actress, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that most professionals in the industry participated in college drama courses or acting conservatories.

9. Where Could This Training Be Acquired
There are many places where you can go to train. A few are The NY Film Academy, Toronto Film School, and the Vancouver Acting School. Also it can depend on what kind of training you need. Just like I mentioned in one of the previous slides it can depend on what training you need.

10. What Courses You Can Take
Some courses you can take in school are courses like drama and theatre. They can help you face your fears. Say you have stage fright and you want to do theatre. Those teachers or who ever is teaching can help you over come them. There may be a moment when you have to give a speech. Honestly it can be like acting. You have to talk loud, not stutter, and not to be afraid.

11. What Are The Requirements
good communication and listening skills
punctuality and reliability
the ability to interpret and analyse roles
the ability to work well in teams
the ability to take instruction and criticism
confidence to network and follow up contacts
self-discipline and stamina to cope with long hours and learning lines
resilience and determination.

12. How much Money Does How long Does Training Cost Training Take
To get into a drama school after your A Levels or whatever you are in, you'll be expected to have attended a good acting school for at least a few years, have had singing lessons and also dance classes. If you're intimidated by other acting students enough to quit an acting school you're not going to be confident enough to cope with drama school. Work on your confidence by getting back into a reasonable-sized class and being brave. So basically it can take however long it needs to be unless if you are very good you can get accepted into at a very young age.
It depends on how much it would cost. If you are already in a school it is possible to go into acting very cheap. But that’s if you are good. Otherwise it can cost a few thousand dollars to be put into a good acting school and get a diploma.

13. Annual Earning For An Actor
Just like some of the slides it can depend on whether you are a known actor or a new actor. If you are known you can make somewhere around $100,000- $5,000,000. if you are new somewhere around $50,000- $200,000.

14. Is The Occupation Seasonal
Being an actor is not seasonal. You can work whenever. Sometimes it may depend on the weather. Say you are shooting a movie that involves snow. Either the crew will make a very fake set with snow coming down or first make you finish the shots you haven’t done then when it snows you can finish the rest.

15. What Benefits do Actors Get
Actors and other people involved in producing and delivering entertainment are sometimes called 'independent contractors' and are responsible for establishing their own benefit packages. Guilds, to which some entertainment types belong once they are established and invited to join, offer some group benefits to which actors can subscribe.

16. What Hobbies And Extracurricular Activities Can You Do
What School Subjects
To Take
To get into acting you should take subjects such as drama and theatre. These will allow you to show your inner self and how interested you are in acting. In university you should go into a acting school and from there onwards you can possibly get offers.
You can go to a improv club or join a acting association. There you can learn all the skills you need. Sometimes you can try and act in front of your family and friends.

17. Advantages/Disadvantages
Can you Self Employ
Yourself
In my opinion there are not to many disadvantages in being an actor except for all the hate some can get. Some advantages are you make lots of money for doing something super fun. Also that once you shoot a movie you have time to spend with your family and friends for a while.
You can self employ yourself by auditioning. There are many places that hold auditions all you have to do is find one and do a very well job and you will get a commercial or whatever you are auditioning for.

18. Do I have Any Skills
I believe I do have the talent to do this because I have wanted to be an actor for a while now and in my drama class I got one of the highest marks. I think if I follow my path into acting and go to auditions I can become really big. I have no stage freight since at every assembly I’ve had at elementary school I was hosting and was the M.C. Plus I think I am a very good actor.
