Acting is the work of an actor or actress, which is a 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. Well-rounded actors are often also skilled in singing, dancing, emotional expressiveness, imitating dialects and accents, improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, stage combat, and performing classic texts. Many actors train at length in special programs or colleges to develop these skills, which have a wide range of different artistic philosophies and training processes.

One medium of acting is the one-person performance. In this free video series, an actress and one-woman performer will teach you how to give an acting performance as a 1940's character.
