Help on setting up a resume......if we don't have an agent yet....?

Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Help on setting up a resume......if we don't have an agent yet....?

Question:

What contact info do I put if I don't have an agent yet!? Because on some sites, it says put your phone and email, and some sites say to put your address!?

also, I was a dancer in the nutcracker, so that can go under theatre, right!? It was only a small part though, and should I put the dance studio name or the name of the theater we performed it on ( it was a high school theater)!.

And for training, do we have to put the name of the acting coach!?

I know there's 3 sections uder each heading, and do we have to fill out all 3 sections!? or can we fill out 2!?
Example: Acting Classes, Sally's acting
or
Acting Classes , Sally's acting , Miss Sally

I'm really confused on the formatting!.!.!.!. ANy help is appreaciated! Thanks! By the way, I'm 14!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't do anything to your résumé until the Agent tells you how "they" want it to look, NOT how you want it too look!.
The Agent is the expert, not you!.

Forget about the 3 section stuff unless the Agency wants you to do it that way!.

By doing it "your way," they may decide you are "difficult to work with and will not work with you as a client!.

Do NOT do anything with your résumé, until you are TOLD to do so by your Agent!. Otherwise, leave it alone, until they ask you to make changes!. You run the risk of the agency not working with you if you do things your way!. Resumes are NOT formatted the same way all over the USA!. Be sure you use the correct standard for the part of the USA where you live and will act!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there aren't "sections" so no need to worry, ( u were confusing me, lol) ok, for ur resume, it should be printed on the back of your head shot photo!. you put info like

~ 4 years of ballet classes
~ stage combat training ( even if it was for 20 min!. it counts!)
~ voice coaching
~ played Kate in Kiss me Kate
you do not put:
~ phone #
~adress
~ Credit card number

1&2 WILL be in the contract
3 u should not give them! if they ask for it, they are scam artists

good luck and talk to you soon!
