You are the semi-quirky person who delivers the exposition that tells the protagonist that they need to change the one thing in their life in order to further the plot. In a semi-goofy way. Either as a doctor, officer, or a friend (this one is likely the one to get you the most screen time). But this is based on watching your videos, not your headshots

I instantly imagined you on horseback with a laser sword chasing a criminal out of a crime scene.

Like my hand was a bit shaky and at beginning I wasn't smiling, then decided to smile at the end - that threw a lot of people off (either they said it was really creepy or that the smile made me seem much more friendly).

Geek culture is a loving living thing, as is KZread culture and it's lobes in particular languages and intersections. I think this is presenting as oneself, accentuated for and within her particular cultural mix. We're not always aware where words we use come from, just how they feel. I don't think it's necessarily got an etymology of everything in the matrix of carefully constructed character acting, I think that's pretty insulting in a way. But I dunno. There's a slightly reckless-seeming tone here that suggested that potential for insult or being perceived as offish was understood.

You're the underestimated lady detective competing against a confident male detective to solve a murder mystery. (spoiler alert, you solve it first)

Presumably this also would let you know you would be suited for the the roles who want someone who is the unexpected fill in the blank. Like for instance, the sister in law who is a mum yes but also, unexpectedly a plumber

My problem is that I'm fat and disabled, so I kinda already know what people are gonna say

I've been watching a lot of your videos since I saw you do one with Tom Scott but my initial reaction was to your hair and build which told me 'Celtic,probably Scottish' (I know that you are actually Irish but I'm trying to remember my initial reaction). Obviously I saw you stage fighting from the get go, so my reaction to your profession/personality type was never unvarnished. In fact I was pleasantly surprised, subsequently, by how literary you are - but the original context is probably what biased my first impression. Anyhow, thanks for the videos which are entertaining and interesting.

I wonder how well you'd have played the role of Eve in the 1999 'The Mummy' - the librarian girl learning to kick serious ass over the course of the movies? That thought is probably muddled by knowing that you are trained in film / stage combat...

To be honest here, this was a very interesting video. And the more I watch your videos and shorts I'm pleasantly surprised just how often your taken me down memory lane and the kinds of groups I've hanged out with in the past. Not to mention how much I enjoyed that time of life. Now if I was truly honest when I saw your pics and silent video my first impression was "I want her for a wife!" However once that thought passed and started embracing the exercise I could see alot of your assessment just were I differ is because of my life experience I couldn't see you as Bit@hy(Now I could see Strong or assertive), Nor an addict (Maybe because of your build and pale skin tone I might see eating disorder)

You Said doobleydoo, getting some Colville vibes here. 👏👏

I see you being a hero (fantasy or super) that is also teaching a younger hero (maybe your own children who knows) how to be a hero. Granted I’ve seen a few of your videos so that is probably helping. I also see you being a bad butt bookworm (sorry I’m not a big fan of swearing) or if not an actual mother, a team mum for your found family team mates (maybe even being said teams leader or second in command).

I was thinking about taking a picture and starting a survey, but I just started a diet a month ago (I've lost 18 lbs but still have about 240 lbs to lose before my goal). Would you recommended waiting until I've lost some more so all the comments aren't about me being fat, or should I go ahead and do one now, then one when I'm partway done, then when I'm at my goal weight and see what difference there is in the responses.

@JillBearup

0:44 I felt that. Yeah you caught me, I did just click the video because it had your face on it

What I think is interesting is what a different impression is given based on how you wear your hair. I don't recall seeing your hair out of a braid before, so seeing it at the end was was rather startling (not in a bad way).

This seems like useful information for anyone. People should know how they come across. I should get more data about how I come across. What a clever idea.

But I clicked because I wanted to hear about what people thought *your* casting type was... and I did, so quest for knowledge fulfilled!

I predict you being in a live-action Fallout 4 movie because you're good with melee, you have red hair, and you've gone by "Cait" in certain videos.

I would like to try this, however all I have at this time would be a still or video from my phone.

While it's clear that some people are just the type we associate with certain things, it's nice to see when someone breaks the mold. For example when the archetypical bad guy plays the hero. Peter Dinklage as evil scientist-guy in one of the X-men movies... ...or when Sean Bean doesn't die... And not to forget the transition of Walther Koenig from young genius aboard the Enterprise - to Alfred Bester in Babylon 5...

My guess (from my exposure to your channel) is you are a non-stereotyped Hedi Lamar, with a lot more thought.

This is so interesting

I couldn't see you as a police officer but as for what most people assume and what I seen in acting yes. Rest are spot on when I saw first impressions. I didn't do this directly but I already know the common adjectives I get from strangers. Similar to yours. Funny part is I would assume as an actor no one would type cast me as my current profession.

I thought I was going t learn if I was a divine or arcane and prepared or spontaneous caster.

Great video! Summary of your results: "Every genre needs a pet geek girl" ah, bah. Hmm. But if you know 'geek girls' (not that I agree with this term) they (EDIT: well, many) can turn their hand to plumbing (depending on how and whether dyspraxia, autoimmune or connective tissue disorders, other neurodivergent conditions, plus sexism, ableism, anxiety and confidence may affect things) - it's just people probably think of Mario and Luigi and their human equivalents, because the 'sweetspot' for *the role* is affected by societal biases... and Nintendo. But the right casting director could possibly put you in that type of role anyway, especially if they saw this!? Anyway, slightly jealous, of that vibe, I'm not sure if I'm obviously anything to anyone. Although I think I'm a nonbinary bisexual person who looks quite like a lesbian. Sadder note, I'm not sure if that was a dig at Elliot Page and trans nonbinary in general!? To include them from before he updated his look and came out gender-wise!? When they came out as lesbian/attracted to women they had noted that it was something they'd avoided before afraid of being typecast, but something about the roles he had already been cast for seemed to hint at the vibe. When they came out it was hard for me for a few days as I had my femme side/vibe pegged to him somehow through that, although I have never seen any of their work properly, just clips and film posters. It's funny how any kind of gender performance variance - if you're not a cookie cutter femme or masc type, whatever that is and whether people pick that out can be so subtle I feel - it can come with a sweetspot of other people's baggage. A veritable plumber's bag of it! But not necessarily as useful, because how well that sort of character is written and how specific a fit it is can vary a lot. Like the gay neighbour in "it's so romantic" plays about with. And it's something worth noting that identity conscious casting is becoming more of a thing, a demand from the viewing public. And from identities marginalised in the acting community. Audience with marginalised identity is what I am really. Just might think about acting sometimes. And I'm a bit too variously neurodiverse and addled I my mental health to cope with much as it is. Ah, me. Anyway wishing you the best and hoping for a positive response re Eliot Page. I understand that this video might be old, I didn't check the date or description for any notes on this. And you don't have to respond directly, this video has a lot of comments so I could just melt into a background sea of all-comers.

Don't you think there are various characters who are constants (fix points ;) ) across the different genres (?) you listed?

Jill Bearup: Galaxy Police Knight-Investigatrix!

Weren’t you in Downtown Abbey? lol

Happy to see a KZreadr (whom I didn't find through Nerdfighteria) call it "the dooblydoo".

Good job I never wanted to be an actor. Though when I think about Natasha Romanov I have obviously missed my calling as a character in a superhero movie franchise 😀

I personally wouldn't mind seeing you in a period drama where there's swordfighting involved. Maybe you can be a teacher with a handy blade kept under her desk for when the conflict happens LOL I don't think I have a casting type, aside from perhaps 'intimidating'. People seem to be intimidated by me IRL, I think because I'm a sizeable (tall and wide) woman with a weird face. Maybe I could be the 'vaguely ethnic female bouncer' at the drag club LOL

I've always imagined myself as an "Unsinkable Molly Brown" type. How fascinating that I could just ask a bunch of strangers...

They just want to watch they favorite genre (fantasy, sci-fi etc.) with you in the cast.

Well I didn't know and still don't really care about casting type. I was actually hoping for a bit more colourful of a response from the world at large and your justifiably indignant but hilariously sarcastic response. Although now that you've explained it I wonder if you might get more input on both your range and core attributes with less flattering media. If a simple lighting change can make you a drug addict, the candid snap that you *definitely* didn't allow to make it to facebook might make you a whole different person. Also I think you should try auditioning for roles as a tall black man with a French accent, or maybe a little Chinese boy. You never succeed if you don't try.

I've like all of your videos. Not so much this one, and not because I think what you've created/shared here is bad. Let me explain. Casting type is very dependent on the biases of the people who respond to this. Unfortunately, our industry has a really limited number of people "deciding" what your type is, and even more unfortunately, they rarely check their biases. So, what I'm saying is this. This is a really cool experiment. The trends you experience are probably true for casting directors, but I think how it doesn't help, is it can subconsciously tell you what roles not to go for, because "you don't fit that type". I think ultimately, that limits you as an actor. I'm not sure it's the best way to build your craft. I was told by dozens of people that I should play Indonesian, or South East Asian. As an actually South Asian, I can tell you, I really should not.

You can join groups e.g. on facebook where people (mostly college students) share their surveys and forms for research and help each other by completing each other's forms (like Thesis / Survey Questionnaire Filling Group). It's usually only 1 demographic (young adults), but it's still a useful platform.

I mean I know you know, and I know you've told us, but ethnicity wise you can definitely pass for Irish or Scottish totally convincingly to people only a few degrees latitude to the south

In actuality it's very difficult to offend me, I just am very nervous in conversation, and I guess to a lot of people that comes accross as distain/dislike. It's a good thing to know about yourself though. And since then I've been able to work on my conversational skills, so as far as I can tell people don't think I'm just incredibly spiteful anymore, so that's good. Oh, the other things I've been told is that people thought I was haughty or "preppy". Although, that was quite a few years ago, so I'm not so sure if it still applies.

Serious Pic: Serious dominates, so could be professional or working class (so long as not too physical, face is too "unweathered"). probably skews more professional Video: Suggests seen-some-$hit, so either seen-some-$hit/broken (drug addict), or seen-some-$hit/now-resilient. Could be any profession. (FYI: Profile in video is striking, quite pretty) Smiley Pic: Psychopath, definitely psychopath. Maybe criminal mastermind, maybe serial killer. _Go on, I just made the tea.
