Does anyone have any suggestions for a resume if the child is just starting out in the business, no formal training and as of now the only work received is from print.

List her special skills and any training she has received. I would not put print on an acting resume. It is actually a bit of a turnoff for acting agents.

Is she is the school chorus? Did a school play? You can list those things also.

Yes, that's good advice.

When casting my projects, I don't expect every child to have a full resume. This picture is what I do go by.

Good luck.

Best,

Ron

Ron is right. Most kids don't have to worry about a resume.

I shot an 11 year-old girl last week at the request of an agency that wanted to represent her. She had no experience at all. Her mother sent them snapshots and at the interview the agent suggested she get professional headshots so they could start sending her out on auditions.
