Hi,

I'm wondering what's the process of sending out resumes ?

That after doing a search in the backstage's ross reports online account, I see that a list of agents comes up.

Then after that what ? For instance, I see that each agent has their address in the list. Are those the addresses I'm supposed to send out the resumes to or what ?

Thanks !

You attach the resume to the back of your headshot (facing back to back so when you flip over the resume you see the headshot and vice versa). Be sure to cut the resume to 8x10 to fit your headshot so there is no paper overlapping.

Send the hedshot/resume along with a brief cover letter to which ever agent and department you want to submit to. Be sure to address it to a specific agent, not just Dear Agency.

Here's a link on cover letters, in case that was your next question. http://bbs.backstage.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8011031/m/9...=820105401#820105401

Yes, I agree with SAA. A bit of reading, actually A LOT of reading, is what you need to take some time doing. In addition to How To Be A Working Actor, there are a lot more resources on the getting started threads. Not sure which part of the USA you are in, but here's the link to the NY thread. http://bbs.backstage.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/932105/m/10410909
There is also one for LA. You just need to take more time and scan the board.

Good luck!
