1 Share of the street performer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the singer 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 street performer role treats 11 of its required skills as things a singer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • act for an audience
  • analyse own performance
  • attend rehearsals
  • follow time cues
  • interact with an audience
  • interact with fellow actors

What stands in the way is 12 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A street performer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a singer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held engage the audience emotionally communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held act for an audience communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform for young audiences communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use declaiming techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held work independently as an artist communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held select music for performance communication, collaboration and creativity

All 20 carried skills, including the 11 the street performer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
