Answer 1

you can find tips on what to put on your resume here, as well as look for casting calls: Hollywood-opportunities(dotcom). it's free.

Answer 2

Depends on what you're auditioning for- if it's a local theater, you may not need a headshot. If it's a local professional theater, you could probably get away with a nice looking picture (as long as it looks like YOU). For a large professional theater or broadway or something, yes, you need a professional headshot.

You resume should have your name at the top, followed by contact info (phone #, e-mail, maybe address). then list past theater experience- the show in one column, the role in the middle and the theater/group  in another column.

If you have any TV/commecial experience, list that in a seperate section.

List any other performance experience like choirs, singing the national anthem, recitals, concerts, etc in another section. List training/education in another section- if you have had voice lessons or dance lessons. List what kind and your teacher's name. List dates for the events and training sections. List theater experience in the order of biggest/most relevant role to smallest/least relevant role (relevant to what you are auditioning for).  the last section should be Special Skills- musical instruments you play, unique talents (like juggling, gymnastics, cheerleading, skateboarding) and list if you are comfortable with character voices and accents (only list specific accents if you have trained in them), and list if you can read or sightread music.

O, and somewhere at the top you can list some stats as well, like height, hair/eye color and voice type (soprano, tenor, etc.)

No need to list size or weight.

You should print out your resume and trim the paper to fit your 8X10 headshot and staple it to the back with one staple in each corner (so that one side is your picture and one side is your resume)

Answer 3

a resume is a list of all ur previous jobs or learning experiences. As for a picture any picture will do just make sure its a clear picture.
