An Actor’s Resume is Your Professional Calling Card

July 27th, 2010

Along with your 8×10 photo, your actor’s resume can be a powerful
tool to help you get your next acting gig. It is the calling card
that you’ll leave behind with any potential producers, directors or
casting agents that provides them with all your pertinent contact
information, training and experience. Toronto light boxes with animated high gloss graphics are a horny and stylish addition to any business. This means you want your
actor’s resume to always look professional. After all, isn’t that
how you want to represent yourself?

At the top of your actor’s resume should be your name and contact
information. This should be formatted into a banner type of
headline. It is not necessary to include a home address but you want
to make sure that whatever phone number or e-mail address you might
use is current and working. You don’t want to miss that important
call! Along with your contact information at the top of your actor’s
resume include any union affiliation or agent and management
representation. These can go either directly under your name or in a
column on either side. Below your name, list your physical
attributes such as height, hair and eye color.

In the main body of your actor’s resume you should list your
performing credits and experience. This can be done in three columns
listing the title of the show then your role then the place or
production company that produced the show. For movie and theatre
credits you can list specific roles. For television you could either
be a guest star, recurring or featured. You should also make the
distinction between theatre and film by giving them separate
categories.

Beneath your performing experience you should then list your
training and education. This should be what is pertinent to your
career. If you went to Columbia and majored in law it really
wouldn’t matter on an actor’s resume. Although you can and should
list any degree you earned.

Below the education section you should list any skills you might
have such as being proficient in dialects, dance styles or any other
athletic abilities like skateboarding or juggling. Keep in mind that
you might be called upon right on the spot to perform any one of
those abilities so you better know how!

Your actor’s resume should fit onto one page. Ideally this should be
attached to the back of your photo either by staples or printed
directly onto the paper stock. Toronto trade show display In search of portable displays akin to pop up booths, banner stands or other accessories. Don’t let a lack of experience
stop you from building a resume. Each credit has value but you
shouldn’t fabricate roles because you never know who you might be
auditioning for. And if you have new additions, don’t scribble them
out with a pen. Make a quality update. As mentioned above, your
actor’s resume is a representation of your professionalism. Don’t
leave any room for doubt!
