Discussion: Good resumes for actors?
Mon, 23 Jan 2006, 04:17 pmHi, i was going to apply for the NIDA Young Actors Studio youth ensemble this year and in order to audition they require everyone have a resume. Although they have taught us the basics at school i don't really know what needs to be included in an acting resume or what makes a good one.
What are the basic elements that need to be included, and does anyone have any tips on how to make a great acting resume?
Any advice would be of great help, and i hope too for other fledgling actors such as myself.

This weekend was the Finleys, more work entertaining at the zoo, and I was involved in a playreading for a new musical. Didn't do the Big Hoo Haa on Saturday (because of Finleys) but am doing a special performance at the Brass Monkey this Wednesday.
I don't think my clock operates any slower than anybody else's; I just seem to always be doing something with my time. As far as seeming prolific here...well, the computer's always on, and if I see something that catches my eye, I can type fast.
Hope you're keeping busy...
