How to Write a Resume for an Audition
By:Shiromi Nassreen

A performer's resume is an extremely important document and must be kept up to date at all times. It is a performer's calling card and should be clear and concise. A good resume shows that a performer has both the experience and training to handle a role.

List your contact information, including your name, email address and telephone number. If you are represented by a talent agency, include your talent agent's contact information. Center this information at the top of the page so directors don't have to search for your it.

List your vital statistics, including your height, weight, hair color and eye color. You may also want to include the age range you play. If you are a member of any professional organizations, such as SAG or Actors Equity Association, mention that as well. If you are a singer, include your vocal range.

Describe your training. Note the name of the institution, the name of the class such as "Cold Reading and Audition Technique" and the name of the person who taught the class.

Note any special skills you have. Being a licensed driver or a smoker isn't what a person may think of as a "special skill," but if these skills are important to a role, listing your ability to drive or smoke could help decide whether or not you get it. If you do accents, list them.

Group your acting credits according to medium. Include subcategories for theatre, film, television, voice over and commercial. The order in which the groupings are listed is up to you. If you live on the west coast and will be primarily auditioning for film and television, put those credits first. However, if you are auditioning for stage work, be sure to keep your theatre credits at the top. When you list your acting credits, include the name of the production, the role you played, the name of the director and the name of the production company. You don't have to list your credits chronologically. Instead list them by order of prestige, with big name directors or particularly large roles going first.
