Hi, 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.

Livy.

craig,
congrads on your achievments so far. I am only a mother of guy who is trying to break into the industry and has done alot of courses/workshops and it only seems that all the jobs he gets are unpaid. he is even finding it difficult to get an agent even though where
ever he goes they tell him to get an gaent quickly.
It is good to read informative stuff on this site. Sometimes however i do feel as though it shows alot of jealousy and tall poppy syndrome.
keep up the hard work and your well time managed life
cheers
