Entry-level roles like extras or small role auditions may decrease due to AI-generated virtual actors, but demand for originality and depth of performance increases.
Actors should proactively embrace AI tools: on one hand, refine performance through virtual scene partners and emotion analysis software; on the other, explore digital avatars and participate in cross-media narratives (e.g., games, virtual reality). At the same time, strengthen strengths in live improvisation and deep character psychology, moving toward roles as performance coaches, creative directors, or AI performance art consultants.

Career outlook
Promotion usually starts as an assistant (such as a matador's assistant). After accumulating experience, one can become a main matador, and top players can reach star status, but competition is fierce and career time is short.
In recent years, Spain's bullfighting industry has faced controversies over animal protection movements and culture, leading to a decline in the number of workers and limited employment prospects, with stable demand only in certain regions.
