Question:

I have been acting for a while and want to take the next step and audition for bigger roles on tv etc!. I have seen so many sample resumes and i am confused,
1!. When you put the age range I cant play my age i look older than a 13 year old people mistake me for 14-20 year olds and i was wondering if i auditioned for disney would that hurt my chances of getting the role because i look older and am very tall (5'8)
2!. I have had various camps alot with church so do i put for ex!. Town person st!.josephs church ,
3, For hobbies and activities do can you put anything from volenteering-baton and i have done tap for 6 years jazz for 8 and ballet for 9 would i just put dance or would i write them all out like i just did
4!. For experience Do i have to put the year and classes i took like School drama 07-08 at seaside middle school and the teacher who taught us or just the class

Thank you in advance for the help

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

1!. You don't put your age range on a professional resume!. Casting directors will be able to determine that!. (You could include a composite headshot showing several looks!.)

2!. I'm not sure what you mean by "camps;" do you mean you've done performances at church camps!? Yes, put the play, role, and the name of the camp!.

3!. Don't call it "hobbies and activities;" call it "Special Skills!." For dance, list all the kinds you do, but not how long you've done them!. Yes, include baton twirling!.

4!. For experience, re classes just put the minimum (and it's not under Experience, it's under Education), i!.!.e Drama classes and name of school!.
