Website Talent Attributes/Descriptions

We each have special talents and abilities. Producers and casting people need to be able to find them and you on our website. You can create esoteric, descriptive terms for yourself, but the casting people need to know them in order to find you. Below, please find the standard words casting calls have used in the past to find talent with specific abilities and attributes.

Select the attributes that describe you, as an audience would perceive you. If more than one is truly within your range, include them all.

Above all, select only those attributes for any craft or skill for which you can render a truly professional performance. For example, can you do a character/cartoon voice? And sustain it for :60 seconds AND 20 takes? Choose carefully and professionally. You must be able to deliver on what you promise.
