How to Create Your Acting Resume:
- You can create your resume from this Acting Resume Template in Google Drive.
- Replace the general info and picture with your own.
- Make sure your contact info is correct, and that you are easily reachable. CSA's phone is also on there to help people reach you for work. You may change that to you agent's info if you want.
- Your Acting Resume should be one page only, even if you are Parker Posey or Denzel Washington.
- For the picture, if you do not have your headshots yet, use the best picture you have of your face.
- Do not include dates of productions.
- If you have little or no experience, that's okay. Do not make up credits, but definitely include everything you've done, even school productions.
- Everyone starts somewhere. If you've really never done a show of any kind, then just include your training and contact info.
- Once you print it on 8.5 by 11 paper, you will need to use a paper-cutter to cut the paper down to 8x10, and then staple it onto the back of your headshot.
