well, i'm involved with acting too. your resume should have your name and just your personal stats like your height and weight, but not necessarily your age so that they can cast you for whatever age you LOOK like. but put every bit of experience you have had, even community theatre or stuff from school even. include any kinds of training you might have had. put down any special skills you have like speaking different languages or community activities you're involved in. you can do this yourself, but just make sure you organize your information well and make the font readable. don't forget to mention your agent and manager's info if you have one.

okay, but how do i GET one, like how do i start making one?
i don't know how its supposed to be formatted or anything :/
is there like a website that will help me?
and do i need professional pictures? Report It

  • Get a job at a theatre... Or volunteer at a school...

    ANY work/experience you have in the field can be put on your resume!

    If there is a University in the city where you live, a good place to start getting acting roles is to volunteer to work on student films at the University. Call the theater department of the University and ask the procedure for auditioning for student films.

    You do not get paid, but you will gain experience, and develop an acting résumé.

    Well, your acting resume basically lists all of the work or experience that you have had in theater. Basically you have to put your name, eye color, height, weight, birth date, all of the shows you've been in, and any other experience you've had in music and theater. You should go around to local theaters or community theaters and audition, and just see what happens. You can't have a resume until you've been in a show.

    its based on your scholastic and professional work experience
