What is another word for small speaking parts?
Pronunciation: [smˈɔːl spˈiːkɪŋ pˈɑːts] (IPA) 
Small speaking parts, also known as supporting roles or secondary roles, are an essential part of any theatrical production. They provide crucial context to the story and support the main characters. Other synonyms for small speaking parts include bit parts, walk-on roles, and cameo roles. Bit parts typically have only a few lines and are usually filled by unknown actors. A walk-on role, on the other hand, does not involve any dialogue but still requires an actor to appear on stage. Cameo roles are typically played by well-known actors, are usually brief, and serve as a nod to the audience. Regardless of the name, these roles are essential to the success of any production.
