How To Write An Acting Resume

Some would argue that an actors resume is even more important than his or her headshot. In this article we will go back over the reasons for creating an acting resume and from there discuss what should and should not go in it and why.

An acting resume should take up precisely one side of one page, and you will typically staple it to the back of your head shot. This small amount of space is all you have to represent yourself as a multifaceted potential working actor. So the main thing is to understand what auditioners want from you. What show are they putting up, and how does it compare to their previous shows? What types of shows do these people typically produce, and what kinds of people do they usually use for the type of part you’re trying out for? Once you’ve considered what they’re looking for, the only thing to do is to try and give it to them. Since you’re a professional actor, this will come pretty naturally to you.

The only thing you need to realize is that your acting resume should represent the part you want to play more than you as an independent entity. So, you should twist and pull at the facts of your professional life until they fit, as closely as possible, the specific audition. I would never tell you to lie; just take a look at this sample actor’s resume to get a better understanding of what I mean. This will hardly take you any time at all to do before each show. Five or ten minutes per audition could very well spell the difference between getting a part or not getting it.
