oh TOTALLY...
When a DJ totally goes off and gets RIGHT into the music.. it makes the whole experience better for everyone else.

not really.
First and foremost its the sound that determines wether a dj is worth listening/seeing. Its natural that some very skilled djs/musicians are also very charasmatic people and are seasoned in the ways of stoking the crowd. But I'm talking about like wikkid turntablists. not tossers like tiesto n shit. in the tiesto side of things. its more like. How good their marketing team is at making you think their image is charasmatic and cool. So the guy can spend half is set walking all over the stage with his hands pointed to the heavens. God only knows whats happening on the decks while hes prancing around NOT djing for the crowd.... /rant

lol...what a funny question!.....
as long as you can mix and build a set and know when to drop. if you cant mix for shit then you better come with some heavy,exclusive dubs!! ...thats all it takes.and practice to to shake out the nerves when you make mistakes.

stage presence can get the crowd really into your set at a party

stage presence man. It doesn't come down to what you physically look like. You can be ugly and have mega-presence. Or even how you dress; it's your body language - the image your attitude and actions put out. I don't think just because you're spinning records you follow different guidelines than say a rock band; you're still entertaining an audience.
Get your body into it - you can't expect people to rock out if you don't look like you're having just as good of a time as they are; they could have just put on a CD for that. Metaphorically, bring the dancefloor up onto the stage. Some talk to the crowd - THAT'S stage presence. Some just emit energy because you can tell how intensily focused they are at putting out their full potential. If a DJ - or any live act - can sell their music without an ounce of stage presence, I'll be amazed. Even Tiesto has SOME presence, albeit it's mostly his fame. Waving your arms around like you're Joe Cocker is still stage presence. . . kinda.

I think first of all, you need to be able to mix well and have good track selections. Both come with time.
Once youve got that done. Stage presence is always good. I love seeing the DJ dance to a track he/she is playing. It gets the crowed moving sometimes. But nothing compairs to good djing. period!

I think in any profession/business where social interaction is involved, charisma and looks are an important part of success, or at least possessing 1 of the two.
You can be an ugly computer programmer, and be super successful, cause no one ever sees your face, and you just get paid to code well. But as a DJ, people see you out there, and interact with you. DJs and such can be successful without good looks, but they definately have to have charisma. At least one of the two... -f.

charisma plays a roll in just about everything, especially for performers. success is a bit subjective though. one person might think they're successful because they make big money and get booked a lot while another might think they're successful once they've reached a certain level of skill, etc.
