Writing a Resume
Fri, 25 Feb 2005, 01:28 pmHey Everyone,
I've been going for a few auditions of late, and I never know what to give to the panel when they ask for a resume.
I've already got a day job, but I consider musical theatre as one of my hobbies and passions.
The only thing is, I don't have any previous experience in musical theatre, so what do I put on my resume?? I haven't even had any formal singing tuition or dancing tuition.
Seems pointless giving them my existing resume which is basically a run down of all the jobs I've had (not related to performing arts!)

And even if you haven't had formal training, you can put down other skills - if you like crafts (e.g. sewing, knitting, even if you mend a couple of socks at home, if you have typing skills, whatever) then that can be used at some point in a show. You have no idea how many companies ask their cast to help out with tech stuff.
And if you still have nothing to put on it, then go do some volunteer work with professional companies or festivals, or do some amatuer roles, so that you can put the experience on your resume. And take some classes too!
