Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I disagree with the other answer, here are mine!.
1!. Yes you need a resume!.
2!. Build the resume with training and special skills until you have some projects to list!.
3!. Yes you need a professional headshot, how else will they know how you can look on film!?
4!. A glamour shot really doesn't work, it looks unprofessional and overly made-up!. Look into a local headshot photographer, the cost should only be $100 - $250 for the whole shoot and well worth the expense!.
Remember, they may be a small indie film, but it's terribly important to the person filming it!. Filming costs money and they want to make sure they have the best possible actor to help them make the best possible version of their project!. also, make sure you're in a class so that your audition will be strong!. Hope this helps, you can email me if you need anything else as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1 you don't need a resume but it will definately help you get along way better if you have one

2 you build one by putting on there every thing you have done that has to do with acting, from plays to comercials etc!.!. (put in some sort of order of course lol)

3 you don't need a professional shot for audititions ( i personally think that costs way too much money) but you should take several pictures with different views of your self!. like you should have one of you wearing street clothes and pose with an attitude, one of you in formal clothes looking really classy, or one of you just being goofy etc the list is endless

4 i really dont know the answer to that one it all depends on where you live
