Tips for Creating Your Artistic Resume:

  • Must be ONE single page! Text must fit to 8x10 (standard size for headshot).

  • Don't lie! Every part on your resume should be one you have actually played, every special skill you should be able to do.

  • Keep it to one page, for real. If you need to eliminate things to make it fit, start with roles you played when you were really young (unless they are amazing credits!)

  • Check your spelling. If you spell an instructor's name wrong, and the auditor the day of your college audition happens to be best friends with said instructor, that would be bad.

  • Keep it simple, clean and organized.

  • List your coaches under training in the appropriate categories (ex: Voice: Justin Petersen). You do not need to list My College Audition - just list the coaches names individually. 

  • INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL AND CELL PHONE at the top of your resume! The phone number and email listed should be YOURS not your parents. This is how schools will contact you with a decision.

  • Recommended to include pronouns.

  • Optional to list hair/eye color, but your headshots will be in color!

  • Do not list years attached to show credits unless a school specifically asks.

  • We encourage students to list: height, voice part or vocal range.

Assembling Your Headshot + Resume:

  • Resumes should be printed on standard white computer paper (8.5in x11in). 

  • Headshots should be professionally printed on nice photo paper (8in x 10in). We recommend the following options for printing:

  • Resumes are stapled in four corners to the back of your headshot. No tape, no double siding printing. You can then trim along the edges of the paper to make the resume fit the headshot.
