Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Put improvisation first; it's becoming a good selling point!. The majority of my commercial auditions request "good improv skills!."
Don't put flexibility; no one will know what that means!. Are you a contortionist!? That would be something!. Can you drive a stick shift!? Put that on there; there are sometimes parts that require it, and people who can drive them are getting rare!.
After accents, list the ones you can do!.
Do you have any odd physical capabilities!? I once missed a national commercial audition because one of the requirements was you had to be able to cross your eyes!. I can, but my agent didn't know I could!. So now it's under special skills on my resume!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
thats all you need!. singing, dancing, sports, instruments!. the ones you have are fine!. if you are going to put accents make sure you really can do them, and correctly!. if they read something on your resume that means they can ask you to do it on the spot!. list which accents you can do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
-Anything you want! Make sure you have your clasic info, name, age, height, weight, hair color, eye color, Gender, etc!.
-Then put in your history in acting, schools, plays/musicals, acting lessons, college (if you went to college), etc!.
-Then add some juicy facts about yourself, skills, hopes, dreams, goals, plans, etc!.
