You are the product. Package the product well!!  \nGENERAL RESUME TIPS:  \nLENGTH: Always limit your resume to one page. It needs to fit on the back of your 8x10 headshot.  \nPAPER: Use plain paper (white, light cream, or pale gray). You may wish to print the resume on the back of your headshot. Please note that headshots are 8x10 photographs, but standard sized paper is 8½x11 . You will need to specify that the document size is 8x10 when you create it.  \nFONT: Use a standard font for the main text of your resume (e.g., Times New Roman, Arial, Garamond, Georgia) . Text size should be 10-12 points. Section headings can be a little larger and can use funkier fonts (as long as they are readable) . Fully utilize a variety of design tools, including bolding, italics, underlining and ALL CAPITALS. DO NOT use icky, bizarre, or day-glo font colors—black is best.  \nORDER: In English, we read from top to bottom and from left to right. Readers lose interest as they read down and across the page. Thus, within each resume section, prioritize information in order of importance.  \nABBREVIATIONS: Minimize use of abbreviations. DO NOT assume the reader of your resume knows the meaning of any abbreviation. The only exceptions to this rule are:  \nCollege Degrees: BA, MFA, PhD, etc.  \nProfessional Actors’ Union References: SAG, AFTRA, AEA, EMC, AGMA, AGVA  \nState Abbreviations: UT, AZ, CA, NY, etc.  \nThe abbreviation “dir.” for Director (listed in your experience section)  \nACCURACY:  \n􀂃 KEEP CURRENT: Make sure all information is accurate and truthful. Update your resume every time you take anew class or act in a new project. Also, update your resume every time you gain or lose a lot of weight. DO NOT put in handwritten changes unless you did the new job yesterday.  \n􀂃 PROOFREAD: Check spelling, grammar, and information very carefully! Also, be sure your formatting is consistent (font, using/not using colons, etc.). Finally, proofread your resume out loud to pick up any hidden errors.  \nATTACHMENT: Always securely attach your resume to the back of your headshot. Either:  \n􀂃 PRINT YOUR RESUME DIRECTLY ON THE BACK OF YOUR 8x10 HEADSHOT, or  \n􀂃 PRINT YOUR RESUME ON 8½x11 AND TRIM IT TO BE THE SAME SIZE AS YOUR HEADSHOT. If you choose this option be sure to put your name and message number or your agent’s information on back of your photo before stapling it to your resume in case the two get separated. Securely staple the two pages together in each corner. DO NOT use paper clips. DO NOT assume that casting directors will have staplers for you to use at auditions.  \nRESUME FORMAT:  \nYour resume should include the following four sections (in this sequence):  \n1) HEADER (includes name, contact info, physical description, and union affiliations)  \n2) EXPERIENCE  \n3) TRAINING  \n4) SKILLS  \nClearly label each of these sections (except the Header Section) on your resume.  \nNAME:  \nYour name should appear much larger on an acting resume than on other types of resumes and should be visible from several feet away. It may be centered, right justified, or left justified. This is up to you. Be creative with the font used foryour name, but be sure it is readable. If your name is printed on your headshot (which is highly recommended), you may wish to use the same font on your resume as on your headshot. Remember, this is your marketing tool, so the formatting should be clear and attractive.  \nCONTACT INFORMATION:  \nFOR UTAH FILM AUDITIONS:  \n􀂃 If you have an agent: list your agency name, address, phone number, and email address. You may also wish to include an agency fax number and/or web address (especially if you are featured on the agency’s website) . You do not need to list your personal contact info.  \n􀂃 If you do not have an agent: list your personal contact phone number (cell phone or other phone with  \nvoicemail) and an e","cbCaishZLOJmL1RR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaishZLOJmL1RR","pdf",253031,"English","# GUIDELINES FOR AN ACTOR’S RESUME\n## GENERAL RESUME TIPS\n## RESUME FORMAT\n## HEADER (NAME, CONTACT, PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION, UNION AFFILIATIONS)\n## CONTACT INFORMATION (UTAH FILM AUDITIONS)\n## CONTACT INFORMATION (UTAH THEATRE AUDITIONS)\n## PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION\n## UNION AFFILIATIONS\n## EXPERIENCE","[{\"question\":\"How long should an actor’s resume be for auditions?\",\"answer\":\"Limit the resume to one page so it fits on the back of an 8x10 headshot.\"},{\"question\":\"What paper and formatting guidance should be followed?\",\"answer\":\"Use plain paper (white, light cream, or pale gray) and keep text in a standard readable font at 10–12 points, with clear section headings.\"},{\"question\":\"What sections must an actor’s resume include and in what order?\",\"answer\":\"Include four sections in this sequence: HEADER, EXPERIENCE, TRAINING, and SKILLS.
