I Could Be Way Off Here

Acting Strengths (in no particular order):

- Easily applicable look: average 20s-30s white male, strong features

- Nearly 20 years' acting experience, nearly a decade of professional experience

- Emotional sensitivity

- Active listener

- Intense work ethic

- Varied special skills: circus skills, dialect skills, physical theatre skills ("Girls only like guys with SKILLS!" Gosh!)

- Lack of pretension -- willingness to appear strange and/or goofy (see above)

- Good comic timing

- Extensive improvisation experience

- Extensive collaboration experience

- Easy-going in intercommunication

- Avid reader and writer

- Intelligent (Somewhat [Shu'up!])

- Non-confrontational in life. Which, you know, allows me to store it up for the stage/screen/private moments of personal abandon.

Acting Weaknesses (keepin' it real [WU-TANG!]):

- Occasional inclination toward "getting it right" rather than "getting it true"

- Want to earn special merit; don't want to have to actually receive it from people (What? True though.)

- Natural compulsion to be in control of self and moment

- Confused by abstracted dialogue (or, somewhat daft about modern stuff)

- Not comfortable singing on stage

- Can't stand dance choreography

- Opinionated when it comes to over-arching elements of story and style (director's domain)

- Utter inability to "fake sincerity"

- Don't enjoy mingling, hob-nobbing or otherwise making conversation

- Also not a big fan of talking about self

- Can't remember names. Seriously. CAN'T REMEMBER NAMES.

Acting Ambiguities (some go both ways):

- Analytical and logical

- Non-judgmental introvert

- Need for regular visual and aural stimulation

- Love making bold physical choices

- Hair actor; totally

- Clown

Just a little exercise in self-obsessed analysis here. Next week, watch for me typing out my name in a ker-gillion different ways!
