First time acting resume?

Question

I'm trying to create an acting resume for an audition I'm going to, but I don't have much experience. What should write?

Answer 1

Just write all that you have done. You don't want to over-do the resume if you are not that experienced. People casting aren't looking at the amount of experience you've had, they are looking at talent. Just put past shows, work, training, awards, special skills, ect. This should be good and show you are professional.

Answer 2

Beginner actors often use the term: Representative Roles when they don't have much experience.

Representative roles means those roles you think you can play. List your skills: Swimming, dancing (type of dancing),
If you speak a foreign language or do a dialect, list them.

The name of the school where you studied acting.

Look online for sample resumes. Resume styles are NOT the same in every city in the USA. You have to find the style of acting resume that is required where you live. Ask your actor friends to show you their resume.

Answer 3

1. Describe yourself: how tall are you? what color is your hair? how much do you weigh? etc.
2. List any plays etc. you have been in.
3. List any training you have had, also list the names of your teachers.
4. Include a headshot.
5. Give a phone number they can reach you at.
6. List any special skills that you have, this can be as simple as doing a cartwheel or as complicaated as speaking another language.
You can also google search "sample acting resume".

Answer 4

You should include on your resume things that show you have the potential to be an actress. Include any plays you acted in high school or college. You can list your favorite school subjects and you should also include the names of teachers or professors who know you well too.

Answer 5

Exploit everything, especially your artistic and communication skills. The pieces of advice above are great as well.
