    Silent film actors had to rely heavily on body language and facial expressions to communicate with audiences as the films had no audible dialogue. They needed skills like exaggerated movements and awareness of their position on screen to convey emotions and stories through their physical performance and mime. Live music was also typically played during screenings to help audiences follow the plot and action.

    Silent film actors emphasized
    body language and
    facial expression so that the
    audience could better understand
    what an actor was feeling and
    portraying on screen.

    films almost always
    featured live music.
