Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
At the top, put your name, address, phone number and email address centered!.
Then make four columns, one each for TITLE OF SHOW, ROLE YOU PLAYED, WHERE YOU DID IT and WHEN YOU DID IT!. The place you're auditioning may not even need it that specific but that's a pretty basic one!. Be sure to list a separate area for any technical experience you've had or any special "skills" you may have!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Okay!.!. first you're going to need some experience!.!.!.
At the top put your name, age, eye color, hair color, school contact information (email, daytime phone etc!. ) also put sizes for clothes and shoes (for costumes) and your voice coach if you have one!. Then, below that you put acting singing and dance experience, probably acting depending on the criteria!. You would put the title of the play or class you were in the director and the year you did it!. Like this:

I agree with most of the ideas above!. Often people forget to update their contact info on a resume! also, I recommend creating your resume with a nice clean font - san serif fonts are easier to read and look nicer for print!. You will also want to make sure the spacing is correct between each area, etc!. Your resume should look professional so take your time!. A marketing firm told me that when you are competing for something that has a lot of competition, make your resume stand out!. One idea is to create it horizontally instead of vertically!. When your resume is in a stack of 100, it jumps out at you!. Just one idea!. also, print it on nice paper stock, not copy paper!.

Good luck with you resume! :)

Name and phone contact info on the top along with your physical details, no home address! (eye, hair color, ht!. etc) Followed with film and television experience, followed by theatre experience, followed by education details including acting classes and teacher, followed by special skills (i!.e!., soccer, bike riding etc!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
