Answer 1

Honestly no one cares about beauty pageants because it's a different skill set.  Skits have no business being on a resume... Experience = roles in plays, musicals, films, tv shows & commercials.

Look here for an example - http://www.actingbiz.com/articles/resume...

Also, a callback is a second audition.  If you do well at your first audition they may give you a callback.  If you send in your pic & res and they think you fit the role and want to have you read for it, they will schedule an initial audition or interview.  If your pic & res do not look professional, if your submission as a whole does not look professional they will throw it straight in the trash, you will not get a call at all.  If you do not fit the description of what they are looking for or you do but you don't live within an hour of where they are auditioning tthen they won't call you.  It's nothing personal, it's business.  It's easier for them to call in actors who live close and within an hour of their location they will have dozens of kids who fit their needs.  

If you do not have real training and real experience then you need to work on that.  Get training at an acting studio and start auditioning for roles to build your resume.  Have your parents sign you up on ActorsAccess.com & check out Backstage.com

good luck,

Answer 3

Acting and pageants are different, but  you could list them under modeling as a section of your resume. You understand that if they want you to audition, you will have to go to LA at your own expense, same for call backs.  Most likely your stuff will go into the round file and you will never hear from them.  They really want experienced pros.

What are you sending your head shot to? You didn't tell us what part you're trying for?
