How do I build a professional acting resume?

Hi - It's a good idea to get some camera-work included, so look for student films being done at your local university or college. But ideally, you would need a resume detailing: The name of the drama school you attended, how long the course was, and when you graduated. The details of extra courses you've attended, such as stage combat, accent and voice training, dance grades, singing grades, mime, mask, etc. What accents you can do convincingly, what languages you speak. A list of stage plays you've performed in, in public, and they should include all types of play - Shakespeare, Greek tragedy, comedy, drama, farce, musicals, period drama, etc. naming where they were performed, and the director's name. A list of short films, student films, naming the directors. A list of other experience, such as commercials, educational tours, promotional work. The name and contact details of your agent. A good selection of professionally made headshots. A professionally made showreel and voicereel. Ideally, your own website, with all the above beautifully displayed and with links to your membership of professional organisations. I think that's about it. Hope that helps. Good luck!
