Actress:
The work of an actress is a female person in theatre, television, film, or any other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and, usually, speaking or singing the written text or play.

The word actress is derived from the Latin word agere meaning "to do", this is precisely what actress is. In acting, an actress suppresses or augments aspects of their personality in order to reveal the actions and motivations of the character for particular moments in time. The actress is said to be "assuming the role" of another, usually for the benefit of an audience, but also because it can bring one a sense of artistic satisfaction. The International Thespian Society, a society comparable to a fraternity (yet possessing the troop system of the Girl Scouts) for students involved in the arts has also been named in his honor.

Actresses are generally expected to possess a number of skills, including good vocal projection, clarity of speech, physical expressiveness, a good sense of perspective, emotional availability, a well developed imagination, the ability to analyze and understand dramatic text, and the ability to emulate or generate emotional and physical conditions. Well-rounded actresses are often also skilled in singing, dancing, emotional expressiveness, imitating dialects and accents, improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, stage combat, and performing classical texts such as Shakespeare. Many actresss train at length in special programs or colleges to develop these skills, which have a wide range of different artistic philosophies and processes.

Not all people working as actresss in film, television or theatre are professionally trained. Chances of succeeding as an actress are greatly enhanced by studying drama at a university or college, or attending an actreses. conservatory. Conservatories offer two to three years training on all aspects of actress. Universities will offer three to four year programs, where a student can choose to focus on actress., while still learning about other aspects of theatre. Schools will vary in their approach, but in North America the most popular method taught is the 'inside out' technique, developed by Stanislavski in his early years and popularized in America by Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler. Others may include a more physical approach, following the teachings of Jerzy Grotowski and others. Regardless of a school's approach, students should expect intensive training in textual interpretation, voice and movement. Applications to drama programs and conservatories are through auditions in the United States. Anybody over the age of 18 can usually apply to drama school.
