Thanks

Does the show have a name like "Vagina Monologues," or is it like a showcase at an improv venue or in a class?

No, it has a name - (Sex, Relationships and sometimes Love)

You can list it as Principal if your character does not have a specific name.

Hmmm...all the links are not working.

Yes, I know! Very frustrating, but I guess since this thread is 3 years old, some of the links are outdated or were blocked for whatever reason by backstage.

If there is a specific question anyone has, just ask and someone on here should be able to help.

Well...I do have a resume but I am not for sure how good it is. So it would be more of a critique I'd need or maybe a physical example more or less?

What if...you are just getting started in acting and all you have is training. I was in highschool heavily involved in AP classes and extra curricular stuff and never was in any plays except like 1. (Which I was told I did very good in) LOL. But is there like a begginers resume? I saw some online but not sure if it's proffesional enough? I saw you said something about a cover letter but a lot of those links were bad.

If you have no credits you follow the same example but looking like this:

At the top and centered:
Name (Centered and is largest in font size)
Union affiliation (if any)
CELL Phone Number
Email

Left side under the top and centered stuff:
Height
Weight
Hair color
Eye color


Training
Skill learned/School or teacher/Location (LA, NY?)

Special Skills/Abilities
Be creative with this. When I was starting out and interviewing with agencies, they would usually go straight there and talk about my special talents and even had me demonstrate some of them.

I'm a little mystified. There are so many books out there on how to put together a good resume- why so many posts on a subject that while important, is such a relatively simple & straightforward thing? Outside of a few minor details, all resumes look very much the same, anyone who's seen them knows that. "In LA the film credits go on top, in NY the theater credits go on top, followed by, followed by...". SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW? And why all these multiple BUMPS??? We get it!!
