An acting resume is different!. You should include your contact info!. then your hair color, eye color, height and weight!. then your experience!.If youve done a lot you can seperate it by types such as Plays, musicals, operas ect!.!. And then include your training!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Acting resumes are different from standard job resumes!. Unless your on the technical side, these those categories would be relevant!.

But for acting, the format is:

At the top: Name and contact info(phone number and email)
Underneat: height, weight, eye and hair color, union status and if you're a singer, vocal classification

Then you're experience divided into:

Theatre
Film/tv
Commercials
(what order you put these categories in depends on who you're auditioning for and if you're more of a theatre actor or a film/tv actor!.)

Then comes the training section where you list classes you've taken!.

Finally, special skills!.

Do a google search of actress or actor and resume and you should get some actors websites where you can look at their resumes!. Here's one - http://www!.suzannebarbetta!.com/film!.html Click on the PDF to see how it would look printed out!. The only difference is this actress put her physical characteristics at the bottom instead of the top!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Objective (put what's your goal!.!.ex) to join the acting to learn more about using your facial expressions in situations, to have a great teamwork, and etcs)

Qualifications (to put what skills you're good at acting)

Education (list schools where you attended and to put lists what you've learned!.!.usually they'll preferred you to list what classes you've learned during your high school or college)

Relevant Experience (you need to refresh your memory of what made you want to involved acting!.!.lists all of your experiences, such as, drama class, after-school play, and etcs)

Another Experience (To put your experience in out of category but bit of relevant to the acting!.!.such as, art or music!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
