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!)

Hi Aeva,
Yes to everything Craig has said. Be honest. Be brief. Dot-points (or a list) is easy for the audition panel to assess. If they want to know more, they'll ask you.
Your Resume might contain the info under the following headings:
NAME
DoB
Contact details
Personal info (as per Craig's notes) -- a recent colour photo of yourself, head & shoulders, 15cm X 10cm might help, too.
Education
Music education
Additional (specific) education (e.g.: dance / voice)
Performance experience
Date / Show / Company / Character
Production experience
Date / show / Company / Department
- - - - -
Join a local company and get some exposure. It all helps.
Good luck,
Russell
