Artemis is on a distinguished road
Default Other skills

When actors create a profile to showcase themselves, nomally there is a section for other skills and talents. I'm curious about the talents of the posters here. Also, what skills would you like to learn? I was told the more skills you have the better off you'll be, but I helped cast a movie which a friend of mine is filming this week and knowing how to drive a school bus is not that great of a talent. Offtopic: I hope this is in the right section.

Here are some of my other skills...

accents
English
Irish
Russian

technical - all courtesy of being a theatre geek
lighting
sound
set design
make-up (doing the make-up for a dinner theatre this weekend)
directing (directed 2 plays so far, but I'll be doing films shortly)

future skills - hopefully
fencing
archery
costume design
composer

Cool Re: Other skills

Special Skills means what you have mastered "at expert level."

I LOVE your future skills category but many a casting director and agent wouldn't share my affection or appreciate the listing.

I don't think it's necessary to have them all be at expert level as long as you let them know ahead of time the level of each talent. You never know about the future skills thing. If it's not useful in film, you could use it a play sometime.
