DH Templates

What websites have acting resume templates?

I know how it should be formated, I just have trouble getting the columns straight. I have a mac and use pages, and can't understand how to use columns on it. I know that sounds stupid, but it doesn't work. Instead of looking like this: Theatre: Production name Character Name Location Production name Character Name Location Film: Production name Lead Company Training: Class name School New York, NY Class name School New York, NY it's all out of order and messy. Where can I find acting resume templates online? Thanks.

1. ooh... Good question. your best bet is probably to use text boxes or something.
2. What I do is create boxes with 3 columns. Trying to create columns using the space bar will NEVER come out perfectly. Here’s an ACTING resume should be set up: http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww80/ELDORADO59/scan0002.jpg RESUME-ALWAYS use the 3 column format! Here’s the standard LA format. In NY, it’s usually the same but with Theatre being higher up than Film/TV (/ denotes column breaks): At the top and centered: Name (Centered and is largest in font size) Union affiliation (if any) CELL Phone Number Email Far Left side below the top and centered stuff: Height Weight Hair color Eye color Right side opposite of statistics: Agent logo with contact info (sometimes if you have an agent, you can remove your own cell phone and email address. Then weirdos that find your stuff in the dumpster can contact them instead of you) Film Title/(Lead, supporting)/Director Television Title/(Lead, guest star, co-star, series regular, Under 5, recurring)/Network Theatre Title/Specific character played/Production company or director depending on who is more prestigious. Commericials ALWAYS put "List available upon request!" Do keep a separate list of the commercials with the Casting directors involved in case an agent asks. Training Skill learned/School or teacher/Location (LA, NY?) OR Skill learned/Teacher/School, Location ie. Cold Reading/Margie Haber/Margie Haber Studios, LA,CA Special Skills/Abilities Be creative with this. When I was starting out and interviewing with agencies, they would usually go straight there and talk about my special talents and even had me demonstrate some of them DON’T: -Put extra work -Put Modeling/Print gigs. You make a separate resume for that. -Lie -Put age. If an agent asks you when you meet with him or her, then tell the truth. It’s for legal reasons. ie. Under 18 can’t work normal hours and need parent/guardian to sign stuff or you have to be at least 25 to do a beer commercial. -Put your home phone number or address unless you want weirdos coming to your house. -Put dates. It ages you! -Have it separate from your headshot. It should be cut to fit and stapled to the back of your headshot. If you don't have many credits, show that you're serious by having training from the best and a lot of unique special skills/abilities that you can actually do
