A couple of questions about details on your resume.

I see that some actors put all of the training in one continuous list, and others divide it into "acting," "voice," "dance," etc.

I have a copy of my resume saved in both styles on my computer, I was just wondering if one style is preferred more than the other (by agents and CDs)? I like the simplicity of making one complete list, but I also really like the organization of separating the training into sections.

Next question.

Sometimes I see actors use a very large, fancy, but still easily legible, font for their name, obviously to make it stand out. Is this acceptable or unprofessional? I also notice that some add smaller versions of different headshots on the resume page. Is this a good idea, or is it unnecessary?

Thanks in advance.

Your name should be the biggest thing on your resume.

My name IS the biggest thing on my resume, but is it cool to use a fancy font?

As to the first part of your question, I like the idea of splitting up your training into different categories.

Anything that makes it quicker or easier for CD's to form professional opinions on your experience, the better.

As far as the "fancy font" issue, I personally would avoid using too "fru-fru" a font and stick with simpler, more basic styles.

Like selecting proper wardrobe choices in a headshot, your goal should be to bring attention to yourself, not to overwhelm.

Thanks RKP, I like the organization of splitting up the training as well.

Thanks for the tips on the font too. I guess I'll try to pick a font that's pleasing, but not too swirly or crazy.
