Hey all, looking for some advice.

I'm working on a buddies resume and I want to know if I should put his headshot in the .pdf he'll attach to emails.

Also, does everything look okay with it format wise? Anything I forgot?

thanks!

I think that the headshot is compelling. I would probably erase the "lead" following the roles. Beef up the education/training to reflect specific fields. Voice training and dance training are very different, and from his resume I can tell that he is probably a dancer as well. Include acting schools in which he has been instructed. If he is a vocalist what is his range? Any more special skills?

Of course, there really is no specific format guidelines and the above are just suggestions. The auditioning agency will inform him of how to submit his resume and headshot. I would create two pdfs, one with, one without, just in case.

Good luck and happy auditioning.
