If you put down say hip hop dancing down on your resume for an agent?
Posted by adminFeb 17
Do they expect you to be like AMAZINGLY good at it like really really good or just like you can dance to hip hop but you’re not like really good if you know what I mean?
Do they expect that you had professional training?
Yes but HOW good exactly?

Anything you put on your resume they expect you to be good at

They expect you to be good enough that you can perform the skill in the context of a role without much additional training, if any. For example, if you put "horseback riding" as a skill and you’ve ridden a horse once in your life, and then you get cast in a movie that requires you to ride a horse, you and/or your agent are going to be in big trouble when it turns out they have to stop production for eight hours to teach you to ride.

anything you put down on your resume should be something you have achieved perfectl like guitar piano singing dance
dont put it down unless your really good at it
all real agents are free.
and only get 10-20 % of the money you make doin commercials etc.
if some1 says you ahve to pay them for them to be your agent they their a scam!
and you need to bget experience cause it will look great on your resume example:
acting classes
singing classes
plays(major roles wouild look great)
and go to actinginfo.blogspot.com for auditions hope i helped

Basically put things like that down, which you can pretty much do without everyone cringing and you end up making a fool of yourself. So basically you have the basic skills of that and can do it reasonably well, if your fantastic at it, well that’s even better.
But remember, you’re mainly there for acting, so you have to be amazing at acting..
I’m sure if you have how ever many years, just say 2003-2005 they will expect you to be a beginner, so they wouldn’t have too high expectations or they wouldn’t cast you if that character required strong dance experience.
Hope this was help in some way..
Email me if you need help =)
