When looking for any type of employment, an employer will ask you for a resume. It represents the history of your education, experience and previous jobs. The same type of information should also be included in a theatrical curriculum, focusing on theatrical performances, education and experiences. If you've worked for a famous director, or if you've had a starring role, be sure to point that out. One of the best things that can happen to you when you go to audition is that a name on your resume is famous, thus making it more valuable. It is not necessary to make a list of everything you have done, the most important roles you have had and the events you have attended are enough.
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Write your own theatrical resume
Step 1. Make sure your resume includes all of the following information, tailored to your particular experience
Step 2. Format the document as shown in the photo; you can use any other format, but make sure the information is in a certain order
Step 3. List your experiences starting with the most recent and continue the list ending with the first experience
The first thing that will read on your resume are experiences and latest performances, so be sure to emphasize all the big names, events and theatrical performances that occurred on recent dates.
Step 4. Write your resume as concisely as possible, so that it fits on an A4 sheet, where you will have carefully stapled your passport photo with a paper clip in each corner
Time is precious in an audition and only a quick glance at the resume is given. It is your performance that will get you the job.

Advice
- Dress well. After all, it's a job interview, you have to be very attractive. Do your best to demonstrate your highest transformational skills, prove that you are just what they need!
- At the audition, if they ask you questions, be as honest as possible.
- Relax and just be yourself. Do not make believe that you are something that you are not really. Be honest.
- If you are unsure how to tailor your resume to the needs of a casting director or agent, ask a friend in the field if they can show you theirs, or seek advice from entertainment agencies. Many online agencies have their talent resumes available in PDFs. Take a look, and build yours on their model.
- Do not falsify any personal characteristics such as height, weight or eye color because this could backfire, preventing you from getting the job and thus ruining your chances of working with that company in the future. Be honest while writing your theatrical resume!
