Answer 1

Yup, exactly what they said.  Have it stapled.  You don't need to put a clear sheet on it either cuz they're not going to send it back to you.. better not waste the money on one.  Make sure you have plenty of copies for later if you want to continue auditioning and when you actually go into an audition, bring 2 copies or more (just bring like a little portfolio with you that has a couple in it).  Most of the time you'll only need one or two, but it's good to be prepared.

About the question you answered for me..  I use photoshop and another program for doing designs and stuff and I just wanted to figure out how to use Ink Art cuz you can actually draw directly on it with the tablet computer.  Man that stinks it would make everything so much easier!  haha

Answer 2

Always stapled.

Answer 3

you have to staple it, its standard.

make sure its neat, and trim the paper to 8 by 10 so they are the same size.

by the way you want to staple the resume to the back of the shot, so when they turn the pic over they can read it
