1 Share of the extra role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the voice-over artist profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A extra role treats 2 of its required skills as things a voice-over artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • follow directions of the artistic director
  • perform scenes for filming

What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A extra role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a voice-over artist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform scenes for filming communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held rehearse role communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adapt to acting roles communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held practise singing communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held acting techniques arts and humanities
  • already held sing communication, collaboration and creativity

All 8 carried skills, including the 2 the extra role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
