Question

What's resume mean , every time they audition , i need to have resume , i just want to know what's mean

Answer 1

a document that contains a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education. It is closely related to a similar document, a curriculum vitae (CV)[1] which focuses more on education, publications, and other accomplishments. Both are typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview, when seeking employment

it just means, for theatre, that you put down all theatrical experiences and training. if you have no experience, then put down anything that might come close to theatrical experience: school plays, church plays, community theatre shows...ect. examples of theatrical/commercial resumes can be found online.

Answer 4

A resume is a piece of paper with a description of you.  You fill out the questions it asks and give it to the people you audition.  If you have acted in alot of plays or movies, you put that down on the resume.  The more you experience you have, the more chance you have to get that part.  

Answer 5

Its a list of all the shows you have already been in, and you can also add a list of any drama classes you attended.   If you got diplomas or an Oscar in acting, singing, or anything that would come in handy for the stage. screen or tv, mention it in the resume.   For example, if you are a good bungee jumper, parachutist or such, you would make a good Peter Pan.   If you can ride horses, you can be in Westerns.   If you are a good swimmer or surfer, you can be in the remake of Baywatch.  Attach a photo and mention your height, so they can dig a trench next to the heroine if you are too tall for her, or they can give you high heels to wear if you are shorter than her.   Add any languages you can speak in case they are making arty farty movies.  If you don't know what RESUME means, then English can't be your first language.   If you want a job in American movies you have to have an American accent otherwise you will be typecast.  Have a nude photo handy in case they are looking for the lead in a p**n film.   If you have any film star rellies, mention that, cos it goes well for gossip magazines.   Have a portfolio of yourself in different poses and outfits.   If you are blonde and pale you can play Russian spies, ski instructors, Irish kidnappers, British Royalty.    If you have dark hair and a tan, you can be a Mexican rebel, a terrorist, a mafia member.
