Do you feel powerless because you don’t have much work to
put on your acting resume?


Well let me tell you the QUICKEST and EASIEST way to build your
acting resume.

The quickest and easiest way to build your acting resume
is to act in student short film project, theatre,
even if amateur, and do some classes.


There are many articles and books out there that will show you
how to set out your acting resume that is not the purpose of
this article. The purpose of this article is getting your acting
resume STARTED. On your acting resume you will include Film and
TV, Theatre and Commercial work that you have done, where and
what you have studied (in relation to acting) and also skills
you are good at.


You may feel that short films, independent theater and a few
simple classes don’t really hold much weight but you have to
start somewhere! And believe it or not the more you do at this
level the more your confidence builds, the more your name gets
spread around, the more you can talk about what your are doing
and the more work you will attract.


The most important thing is not WHAT you’re doing but that you
GET STARTED! Then over time as your skills develop and your
acting resume starts to build you can be more selective about
what roles you take on and only do those projects you feel are
going to stretch you as an actor or make you some good contacts.


Believe me if you just get started on building your acting
resume, opportunities will come to you and you will start
attracting and landing “real” jobs that you can use to replace
your initial jobs.


ACTING CLASSES, TRAINING and SKILLS you feel competent at are
things you can add to your acting resume instantly.


Build your skills and then add them one by one to your acting
resume. Sports are great like tennis, horse riding,
skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, football, ballet and also
don’t forget to include any languages that you can speak. Add
anything that gives you an advantage over others; definitely add
any singing and musical instrument abilities.


These are things that you can take charge of in your acting
career, things that allow you to reclaim your power as an actor.
Build you skills, take some classes, do short film projects,
meet people, grow your list of contacts, you never know what
projects these directors will do in the future.


As actors we want to be Stars yesterday but the reality is, is
that for the majority it isn’t like that, it takes time, and you
know what, you may make it tomorrow but that doesn’t mean you
can’t be doing something to get ahead TODAY. So start building
your acting resume today look in your local trade paper or on
the Internet or on notice boards for a theatre or film project
and then GO FOR IT!


To your acting success
