MariannNOVA Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 ;) You all were so kind to provide me with sample Resumes for an acting audition.. If you can bear with me for one more question: The dc who is auditioning has NO acting experience -- nothing formal -- the closest thing is writing and acting in an Odyssey of the Mind play and writing the music and lyrics for that endeavor. The producers say that a Resume is not necessary - if the child doesn't have one THAT is okay -- Should I take the out and not provide one since there is really nothing 'concrete' and relevant that I could put on a Resume for this dc? fwiw, this dc is auditioning b/c a friend of the producers told them about dc and they contacted me and asked if he would audition.....otherwise we wouldn't even know about this opportunity.

littlebug42 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Since you were given the option, I would probably skip the resume if there is nothing really to put on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I would make one so they at least have some information about your child. Has your child done any type of performance training? Dance, gymnastics, public speaking? Any special talents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been asked to sing one of his own songs at funerals (I'm sorry - I know that probably sounds morbid) - one of the songs he wrote for our own family and word traveled and people have asked him to sing. He writes 'plays' for presentations at co-op and at CC. He gets a fair amount of exposure, and this has resulted in people passing his name on to the producers. I did wonder, after posting, if it night not be wise for them to have his personal info on a Resume (so to speak) with his headshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Sounds like you could go either way (you could skip it completely), and it'd be fine. But just so you know, they are interested in other things besides acting. Can he sing? Do acrobats? Know accents well? Ride a unicycle? Swim with a swim team?

Interesting -- yes -- many other activities that are not acting -- thanks for bringing that up -- that is a good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If you are turning in a headshot, then I would do a resume and just attach it to the back of the headshot. It would give personal info and listing other special talents is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yes, definitely include as much information as possible. It will help him stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
