Your Resume

      OK so like any job resume your acting resume will be similar by showing what work you’ve done what kind of work whether it be theater film or television you’ve been involved in and it gives people an idea of your physical, stature. You also want to put on any info were you can be reached like your phone number, email address, and any website you may have displaying your acting talent. Also at the bottom you want to put any special talents you can do like a different language or any sports you’re good at. While there’s no clear cut way that a resume should look like, your best bet is having it looking clean easy to read, Professional and having it stand out. hundreds of resume are quickly scan and passed over every day in an agent’s office and/or casting directors so you want it to be easy to read, First you name should in larger text than the rest and centered on top then below that your contact info, number email etc.. Second list your height, weight, hair, and eye color. Never put your age, that should be left up to the agent or CD to decide. Under the office lights a resume on plain white paper will glare and we be difficult to read, so consider investing in off white paper or gray resume paper, it can make a difference. Also when making your resume keep in mind what area of acting you want to do if theater put the theater experience first. If you live in Los Angeles and are focusing toward film and television put those first. Lastly be truthful about what you put on your resume you don’t want to give your name a bad reputation.
