2. An actress uses her natural talents to entertain an audience on stage and screen. In the future she will need to be able to communicate emotions to inspire and entertain with less face to face contact due to the use of animation, green screens and acting in isolation. Actresses work with many other people such as directors and producers, but now that thee are new technologies, future actresses will not have as much communication with others as they did today and in the past.

3. An actress is a woman who acts in stage plays, TV broadcasts, and films, especially professionally. Actresses have a verity of many different tasks. They have to audition for roles, read and memorize scripts, and research roles to understand the characters. Actresses have to rehearse and perform scenes with different actresses and actors, directors, producers, and many other people. They also have to attend wardrobe fittings and make up sessions.

4. You need formal training, but practical acting experience is the most common requirement for success. The more experience that actresses have the better. Things you should do before going to acting school are school plays, public speaking, and become avid viewers of films and plays. Besides acting skills, you should practice speech, voice, dance and movement, period styles, and a verity of other skills like juggling or playing a musical instrument. One benefit for this job is that you get very good salary. Famous actresses usually get at least $1,000,000 or more. That’s a lot, as Marilyn Monroe said “An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.”

5. Actresses work at many different places. From city to city, state to state, even all around the world. It depends on where the movie, TV show or stage play is held at. It also depends on where the setting is. Such as if it’s on a beach in Hawaii, then the movie or TV show could be filmed there. Other wise it could be filmed in a studio with a green screen and special effects that make the movie look like it’s in Hawaii

6. Actresses use a verity of many different tools. Some tools they use are special effects, green screens, props and make-up. They use make- up to make themselves look very realistic while filming. Special effects, green screens, and props make the TV show, movie or stage play look like it’s actually happening. Such as if there is an explosion in the film you can use special effects to make it look realistic.

7. Costumes represent the actress. Costumes must be made to fit the lighting and sets. There are many different costumes that actresses ware. Costumes can have different colors, designs, textures, and styles, from white to black, to orange to pink. Costumes can change the actresses body so they look more like the character they are playing.

8. Actresses work mainly with the other crew members and their directors and producers. Most actresses get close to their crew members, directors and producers as if they were all one big family. Being close with the people you work with can be a good thing because sometimes you have to play a love role with another crew member, so if you don’t know them too well then it would just feel awkward.

9. Actresses cannot be shy because they are going to be in front of the camera a lot. Actresses are able to take criticism, be creative, good with people, energetic, and most importantly, a talent of a love of acting! Some interesting facts about Jennifer Lawrence is that she is playing as Katniss Everdeen in the hit series “The Hunger Games”. She also graduated from high school, with a 3.9 average, two years early in order to begin acting.

10. In the future she will need to be able to communicate emotions to inspire and entertain with less face to face contact due to the use of animation, green screens, and acting in isolation. In the future an actress will still be a woman who acts in stage plays, TV broadcasts, and movies, but the technology actresses use today such as green screens and special effects will be even more advanced and realistic. Plus it won’t take as much time to film movies. With the new technologies.

11. In the future actresses may have to go to school or train for another few months or so. They will have to learn about the new technologies and how to use them. They may have to train a little longer using the new technologies and working with them. An actresses salary will probably stay the same because new technology won’t change that.

12. An actresses job will be more exciting in the future. Movies and TV shows will have more realistic special effects. New technologies won’t take that long to produce movies, so movies will be in theaters sooner. Green screens will have more motion in them. Other tools will be upgraded to also make movie making a faster process.

13. Future technology wont really change an actresses job. An actress will still be a woman who acts in TV shows or movies. There’s only a couple of things that would change an actresses job, but they are good things. Such as it wont take as long to produce movies with the upgraded technologies. Also movies and TV shows will look way more realistic and interesting. An actresses job may seem hard and stressful, as Jennifer Lawrence would say “And when I'm on set, I'm just thinking about the script and of working. I think I've stayed focused on the work so much that I haven't really noticed my life start to change except for I've gotten busier.” But, it is a very fun-filled job that many actresses enjoy today, no matter how busy they are.
