If you compare the work of a miner and an artist of a theater or cinema, the difference is very noticeable. The first spends many hours of physical labor, regularly goes to work on a specific schedule and receives a penny. The actor lives differently, only one side of life is visible to people, but it seems colorful and light. The concert lasts 2 hours, and the earnings from it cannot be compared with the salary of an ordinary worker. Complicated training, hundreds of hours of training and rehearsals precede the stage, but this is not noticeable to the average man, and therefore it seems that the actor’s life is very easy.

The peculiarity of acting is that it is necessary to play some roles, to seem happy during interviews and outings. From the outside it looks like a very simple task, but dramatic talent is rare, which means that you need to work on each role. Actors are usually condemned by those people who have never tried to portray passion or sadness in front of an audience. Being sincere and talented is a very hard job. And every time there is tension before going on stage, the fear of performing over the years dulls, but never passes. A huge amount of energy is spent for one performance, because you need to be realistic, it will not be possible to repeat the second time.

Acting today is not a profitable occupation. Units are on the screens, and hundreds of educational institutions graduate masters of their craft every year. The competition is huge, the probability of getting a significant role is very small, and only a few can become famous. In theaters, salaries are not large, provincial actors receive fewer miners, although they are laid out no less than the rest. The roles in the cinema are painted for years to come, the country wants to see familiar faces, it is they who gather the audience, and new actors only get to the crowd, where they are not always seen.

And the actors have a peculiarity, they can "burn out" at work. The need to always be in shape, not be able to hurt or be sad, leads to huge depression. Once a person simply cannot fulfill his functions, he needs inspiration, but he is not. That is why the actors of some genres retire early. Every evening entertaining the audience, they are exhausted, deprived of the desire to live. And getting out of this state is very difficult. But viewers rarely see this side of the profession, they don’t understand how difficult it is to be bright and exciting on stage.

An actor is a profession that requires a lot of strength and patience. It is difficult to compare with doctors, teachers, builders, each has its own functions. But it’s precisely the talented artists who allow you to enjoy amazing productions, relax in front of the TV and escape from everyday life.
