Question: Would these specials skills look good on an acting resume!?
Hi, I am planning for the future on getting a talent agent for film, television, and commercial, and I am currently building my resume!. I was wondering if these are good special skills to add onto my resume: Speak Fluent Spanish, Speak Fluent French, I can play the Alto Saxaphone, Clarinet, Piano, and the Guitar, I am also a songwriter, a fantasy fiction/non-fiction writer, and lastly, I write poetry very often!. So, do you think these are good special skills to add to my resume!? Should I take any out!? Should I add more in!? Thank you, I would really appreciate the help and opinions!. :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Those are all great! The languages and music skills will come in very handy as you build your performing career!. Put the songwriting info on your resume, but leave off the other writing skills - that doesn't really apply to a performance resume!. If you ever apply somewhere as a director or something, though, you should add that on!.
I've seen people put really weird things on their resumes under special skills!.!.!. things like "has a driver's license", or even "long arms"!. Why on earth a casting director would want to know you have "long arms", I will never know!.
Other skills to put on there: dialects you are good at, gymnastic stunts you can perform, juggling, sight-reading music, stage combat experience, or even that you can belch on command!. Anything a casting director could possibly need for a job, put on there!.
What you have sounds great! Best of luck with finding an agent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Yes!!!! They might not care about how you write, but if you ever need a literary agent it might come in handy!. You also want to get TONS of sing dancing and acting training under your belt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I think those are really good skills to have and if you want to become on tv like an actor maybe take some acting classes or any classes related to acting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
