The dynamics and potential of ones personality is relevant to the craft of which they perceive. I am a shy and quiet person on my outer shell, it’s not unusual, but it can come across disengaged and unfriendly, but get to know me and understand my character my true colours and vibrant, quirky personality come into play. As an actor people make the mistake that if you are not a particular loud personality or a confident character you are deemed less capable of putting yourself out there, be it theatre, film or any given social situation. But I have come across more than once and agree with a case that the reserved person is a thinking-man, alert and aware, constantly adapting mentally. That’s where I fit in. An observer. I observe and I create, my reserved personality benefits me in a way that I can fully embody a character, rather than the more common fault of having ones overly large personality break into their performance.
I like to think I pre-engage, calculative but thankfully, not sinister. There’s a saying that it is the quiet ones that are the most dangerous. That is a useful study into character and personality and taking a further analytical insight, it is the quiet ones that are the ones to watch. Someone who is a challenge to read is always more interesting than someone who encompasses the formulaic convention offering you their integrity on a stick. Confidence can come across as arrogance, it is difficult for someone who is shy to come across arrogant, but some who is calculative can also strike that border. I am myself, by no means in those categories. If I were, I wouldn't be writing this, I would be throwing it in your faces up close and personal. The depth of this study wouldn't surprise you and your questions wouldn't need answering.
The thinking-man has more potential to develop and grow, soaking in fellow intelligence around him, the ‘other’ man spews out his personality around him and his consumption is limited. The quiet ones are the ones to watch. 11/02/12 – 12:55pm
