Imogen Rowe's Actor resume in the Awning template

Example 1 of 2 · Awning template

Imogen Rowe, Actor

Imogen Rowe is an actor in Bristol, six years into touring theatre, short film and voice work since a drama degree, and is sending this resume to casting directors and agents. Casting wants the parts played, the range of work and the skills a role might call for, so the credits sit in a list of their own and every skill is rated.

Why this resume works

  • The profile names the three kinds of work she does, touring theatre, short film and voice-over, before it says how she works in a rehearsal room.
  • The one role line covers six years of freelance work, and the paragraph beneath it gives the scale of the touring, up to 90 shows a run.
  • Four stage credits are listed one to a line as the production, the company and the year, so a casting director can scan them without reading prose.
  • The screen and voice work sits in one italic line under the stage credits, from audiobook narration to an animated series.
  • Professional training is a section she added, with the screen acting intensive and the stage combat course that back up her rated skills.

Ezra Calloway's Film and Stage Actor resume in the Reel template

Example 2 of 2 · Reel template

Ezra Calloway, Film and Stage Actor

Ezra Calloway is a film and stage actor six years into the work, a resident company member at an Atlanta theatre with seven film credits behind him, sending this resume to casting directors and agencies. Casting reads a performer's resume as a list of credits and the skills a part may call for, so this one puts the agent and the film credits above everything else, keeps the theatre seasons and the training short, and writes a level beside every special skill.

Why this resume works

  • The film credits are written one a line as the title, the part and the production with its director, so the layout sets them as three aligned columns and a casting director can scan the parts without reading the titles.
  • The agent sits on one labelled line under the profile with the agency, a phone number and an email, because casting books through the agent and should never have to hunt for the contact.
  • The theatre years carry the parts by name, Konstantin, Tom, Mercutio, Sebastian and Edmund, and the count of 140 outdoor performances, which says more about stamina than an adjective would.
  • Every special skill carries a written level, Advanced for stage combat and Expert for improvisation, and the languages carry theirs the same way, so a stunt coordinator or a dialect coach reads the fit at a glance.
  • Training lists the conservatory, the Meisner studio, the combat guild and the dialect lab as separate entries with their years, which is the order a casting brief checks them in.
