Acting Resume 101
Ever wondered what to include on your acting resume? Knowing what to highlight can be challenging—balancing your experience, skills, and unique qualities isn’t always easy. I’m here to help!
Your acting resume and your headshot are usually the first things a casting director will see from you. Your actor resume should showcase:
- Any formal acting or on-camera credits
- Relevant training
- Unique skills
Include your bio and add details like height, weight, and hair colour, as well as your sizes for a well-rounded profile! When learning how to make an acting resume, remember to keep it clear, concise, and professional. An acting resume for beginners should also focus on showcasing any roles you’ve performed, even if they are student films, theatre productions, or community projects.
