How to make a good acting resume ?

Answer 1

It all boils down to training and experience...

The more you have to list, the better you look on paper.

Have no experience or training? Go get some....

Baby steps...

Don't "Make Stuff Up" as some have suggested. List what ever experience you have. As you gain experience and credits, you can delete the less valuable "Fluff" and demonstrate depth and growth.

Don't worry about starting out without one... we all have to start somewhere.

Try a simple "Google" search using the keywords Actors Resume.... you'll find lots of helpfull information

Here's the first one I found with a quick search...

Answer 2

There is a very specific format required, which is obviously very different than a business resume. Go to the library and look at books geared to actors for examples of the right layout- list your most impressive credits first and most prominently. Keep it professional, add scenes you've done in class if that is all you have. Don't be jokey or add irrelevant things under skills ("thumb wrestling champion"). If you list things on your resume, be prepared to talk about it or demonstrate it. One page only! Break a leg.
