In a professional resume, it is considered inappropriate to include personal information, but in your performer’s resume, you will have to include personal information. Often, employers will want t know your height, weight, hair color and build. Sometimes, they’ll even want your measurements, for costume purposes.  \nFormat  \nUnlike professional resumes, performer’s resumes are often broken into columns and kept to a page a length. Traditionally, performers’ resumes can include sections on education/training, union membership, performing experience, related work experience, awards/distinctions, and special skills. Professional resumes tend to have short paragraph sections. Performer’s resumes are usually divided into concise list form.  \nResume Guidelines for Multitalented People  \nIf you have focused on more than one discipline, get specific! Don’t try to cram all of your theater, dance, and singing experience into the same document. You will not be able to do justice to your experience or your resume. If you have enough experience in more than one discipline to warrant more than one resume, then write more than one resume, and only submit the resume pertinent to the job title.  \nIf you are an actor and a singer, a choreographer and a dancer, a composer and a director, have a separate resume for each title. Keep each one very focused. If you decide to include a section like Other or Special Skills, you can mention your other talent in a single phrase; for example, Extensive theater background or Proficient in Alexander Technique. It may feel as though you are minimizing your other areas of expertise, but what you’re really doing is focusing. Do not underestimate your special skills when submitting a resume. A director or organization may be looking for something rare and atypical during an audition scenario, and those special skills may give you an edge.  \nYour resume is suppose to convince an employer that they want to hire you, and that you are perfect for the job they’re offering. That means you have to keep everything in the document relevant. If you’re auditioning for a musical, you’ll need to highlight a variety of abilities; if you’re auditioning for a Hollywood comedy, it might be unwise to highlight your career in modern dance.  \nIf you have developed a unique performers art genre that incorporates aspects of more than one discipline, and the job you are seeking requires this ability, then you should develop your resume accordingly. You should still keep it to one page. Remember, choose representative highlights of your training and experience. You don’t need to include everything. Be discerning. Choose your most impressive accomplishments, and in this case, choose a sample representative of your range.  \nPerformer’s Resume Options  \nEffective and Appropriate Photo Options From Headshots to Galleries  \nIn addition to providing your stats and measurements within your resume, you’ll probably want to include a photograph. Accompanying your resume, a good photograph can help convey the intangible qualities about you that make you a good performer. During a large audition, putting a name to a face is important, and not including a photograph could lessen the chances of getting the part. Performers of all disciplines can use a single headshot, but sometimes more is appropriate. For instance, a dancer may want to include a full body action shot to highlight a particular strength (for instance, jumps or turns) . An actor may include a photo featuring him/herself in costume in a particular role. This approach can highlight a physical and technical versatility. Whatever you choose, be sure your face is clearly defined, and easy to recognize. Be careful your visuals to not detract from your resume, including a single headshot on the same page as your te","cbCaigji9IrD9KlW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigji9IrD9KlW","pdf",21019,"English","# Content\n# Format\n# Resume Guidelines for Multitalented People\n# Performer’s Resume Options\n## Effective and Appropriate Photo Options From Headshots to Galleries\n## Scannable Resumes\n# Sample Performing Arts Resume","[{\"question\":\"What information should a performing arts resume include?\",\"answer\":\"It should detail a performer’s experience in a performing arts discipline, abilities as a performer, and physical characteristics.
