Performance Skills Audit

Casting Call pro Skills Audit:

I feel that Casting Call Pro allowed me to update more skills that I could present at auditions, and I was able to create a wider range of jobs that I would be suitable for within the industry. Whilst some skills aren't as strong as others, I feel that it would give me a chance to work on them, should an audition come up requesting one of the weaker skills. However, I feel that these different skills would be best for stage performances, and I would mainly like to work on TV and Film projects, and therefore I think that it could decrease my chance of having a casting director who is looking for an actor to offer me an audition because a lot of the time they are looking for someone who is more natural. However, I do think that these different skills could benefit me because I could get more jobs for stage which ultimately, could give me the opportunity to gain a following and status so that I can be offered more auditions for television and film.

Spotlight Skills Audit:

I felt that spotlight didn't give me as much options in terms of skills, but this also makes it look more slick and professional. I think that a casting director would be able to look at my CV and find what skill they are particularly interested in, which will save them time. I marked my skills in which I am highly skilled in, such as gymnastics because this increases my chances of being noticed on spotlight because a lot of actors and dancers can't do much gymnastics and acrobatics, which allows me to gain more opportunities. In September 2016 this confirmed my theory of this, as I was asked to audition for a feature film based on a gymnast, whose skills improve throughout the film. I had to send a video of me performing my gymnastic tricks and I had to tell the casting directors about myself over another video. This was so that they could review my own personality and they could compare it to the characters. 

My accents on both audits are the same, and I haven't updated them recently. This is because I am not highly skilled in accents and therefore this is something I wish to improve on. I think that learning more accents will increase my chances of getting more auditions because it shows my ability to portray a wider range of characters.
