Such as, you must be able to cope while under pressure,you have to have a good motivation drive and passion, good teamwork skills, strong leadership roles, willing to try out new and different things (such as genres) and there are many many more. but the most important one is good confidence.

Good Teamworking Skills
When becoming a performer, you will be working with lots of different people whether its in your band, with producers, stage crew and sound engineers its important to have a good relationship with one another by working hard and putting in the effort and by have a clean attitude towards them. This way, you will have a relaxed atmosphere with eachother which makes making music more enjoyable.

Problem Solving
Problem solving is an important skill to have, as any problems could arise when you least expect it. Handling problems under pressure is a great skill to have, especially if you are performing on stage, infront of an audience.

Commitment
Commitment is a very important skill to have in the performing world. Without any commitment people will struggled to become so successful. This skill is a key into becoming a good performer, as it is a job to do on your own for other people. for example, when in a band, you must be motivated and committed to them. It could be by turning up to practices for example. therefore they rely on you to not let anyone down.

Leadership
By having this skill, it can automatically give you a very important role. As to take charge of something and handle it under control is a good skill to have. especially if working with other people, by taking control on what needs to be done. Motivation is a big aspect in this skill as well.
