What Traits Does One Possess That Make Many Want To Work With Them?

[The White Belt]

I'm an actor.

Talent and performance aside, when I leave an audition room, what traits would make me desirable for the casting team to want me on board?

Many actors try to be James Dean edgy these days, but the best of the best appear not to be that way.

 

Thoughts?

You need to be very warm and social. I am pretty sure you already are. Once when I was watching the x factor or America got talent not sure which one, there was a tall handsome guy with a great singing voice and they flatly rejected him because he didn't appear very docile and warm to them. It's a talent show so they shouldn't be judging the character of the guy. But I realized then that only looks and talent are not enough, the personality factor counts as well and makes a big difference. You should turn into a person that anyone and everyone likes in the room. Sort of a people pleaser, not all the time but whenever needed, bring out that people pleaser suit.

Charisma!  Be genuine, and direct. Be decicive.  Be Responsive and not reactive.

Sincerely, Not an actor ?
