The most impressive resume won’t do you any good if casting directors don’t know how to reach you. So the most important information that you need to include is your up-to-date contact information in a prominent place on your resume — usually at the top of the resume.

Your contact information should include your name and representation, your email address, and/or your contact number. Note: Some actors create an email just for their acting communications.

Keep your contact information up to date. If you change phone numbers or representation, revise your resume with this latest contact information and destroy all copies of your old resume. The easier casting directors can find and contact you, the easier it is for them to hire you.

If you belong to any of the actors’ unions, be sure to list that information on your resume, too. Union membership lends credibility to your acting career, and casting directors know that if your contact information is out of date, they can always contact the appropriate union to track you down, if necessary.

When listing your union membership, you can use the union initials, such as SAG-AFTRA (for Screen Actors Guild) and AEA (for Actor’s Equity Association) to save space and look more professional.
