Can I put my summer camp on my acting resume?

Question

My summer camp is an intense camp on acting, dancing, singing, and alll that good stuff. it really helps my acting. do you think i could put it under my training section?

Answer 1

yess thats great experience, for beginners anything having to do with acting, singing and dancing is great to put on a resume..  You can put Acting, Singing and Dancing Program.. then where you did it and they year. :)

Answer 2

Yes- all experience at first should be listed. If you do not have a lot of stage experience yet the people you audition for will prefer to see something over nothing.  And having taught at theatre camps I know that it is actually quite an intensive program you go through. Having to learn dances, plays and songs for each separate class gives you great training for when you do begin to perform in shows.

Go ahead and list if for now but keep getting more training and slowly you can bump camp off for more solid experience.

Answer 3

I would think so since it is experience. If someone comes along and says that the camp doesn't count then simply don't put it on your resume anymore. It's training so I would go ahead and put it on your resume. Besides, it makes it look like you have that much more experience!

Answer 4

It wouldn't kill you to do so, but as you receive more professional acting work such as actual plays, then I would later exclude this from my resume. In my opinion i wouldn't recommend you to list this apart of your resume.
