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!)

aeva,
will just add one more thing. from experience, i find that agents, casting directors, et al will prefer black and white photos. looks a bit classier and shows up your highlights better, whereas with colour, blemishes and bad texture or acne or just a bad lighting can stand out a lot more. no offence to russell. the way he's set it out is best in resume. and don't worry too much - at an audition it's all about your talent and look there and then. however, a decent photo never went astray in the choice of whose seen.
