From Carey, NC

I want to find out what I can do to "beef up" my resume. There are certain sections of my resume that are blank. Can you offer any advice?

Dear Carey:

Some of the best things you can have on an acting resume are theater credits. Auditioning and working in some local theater productions are not only great learning experiences, but also look great on a resume. Continuing to take great acting classes are also helpful. However, don’t be fooled into thinking that in order to work in this business you need a strong resume. There are plenty of people who understand that you have to get started somewhere, and that we are not born into this world with a great resume. Sometimes agents like to see people with very little experience so they can say that they “discovered” someone before they became famous.

If you thought this was helpful, imagine how much you will learn from reading "How to Become a Successful Commercial Model." and by attending my Acting/Modeling Boot Camp.
