Action Packed- The Director gives you an action like running for help, sports, breaking up a fight, jumping, dance competition, fighting and then hiding, fighting and then dieing, Fighting and making jokes. The first 3 runs are all improvised and the final two are with lines from your favourite movie or story.

Acting is a craft passed down through the generations from each race in their own way the Europeans took a great respect for the craft and Developed it in to the greatest collection of art forms that is currently with us. The Acting Craft has created and captured many beautiful moments in history and imaginative wonders. The Craft has also been abused and used to promote racism, Hatred, Violence, Gender and preference stereo types in many ways that destroys society. When i heard an Actor said the craft was for sissies i realized he did not know the Bravery it takes to Act in Roles In Life when Even only two fans desperately need it to be represented at its best at cost to that actors or actresses; dreams, career, and life. Film is an Educational tool as well and its best lessons will always need its best Acting. Acting is for the brave and ignorance should never be accepted and promoted in such a wonderful craft. Acting is not just knowing your lines! It is understanding your role! Acting is not a competitive sport but a collaborative process that takes the entire team from you the Actors and Actresses to the entire film-making team that contributes to your success!
A Way for the Chinese and other Foreign films to improve the Quality of the English Dubbed films is to not just say the translated words, terms or phrases but to add to that sentiment as often times the English translation is shorter.
