The 3 Traits of Successful Actors
I've had the opportunity to interview numerous successful actors - ones who've been on Broadway many times, have recurring roles in television series, or have booked national commercials. I've found they all share three traits:
Trait 1: They aren't "starving artists."
Turns out most working actors have a stable job or have created a secondary income stream (freelance teaching, coaching, taking photos, etc.) so that they don't come off as desperate. The extra income allows them to invest more in their career and keep time available for auditions, classes, and networking.
Trait 2: They focus on "specificity."
Anyone I've interviewed says that getting clear on the exact roles they should be targeting was game-changing for them. They actually started getting called in by casting directors who were EXCITED to see them perform.
Trait 3: They provide "added value" in the audition room.
By focusing on offering additional value to casting directors (beyond just auditioning), they stand out and receive more callbacks than actors who simply come in, perform, and leave.
