Added for You - Acting Tip: Acting Resumes, Cover Letters, and Headshots, Oh My!
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Or so the saying goes. Well, what may be true for roses doesn’t always hold true when for other things in life. Many, when we call them what they are, become quick turn-offs.What got me started taking a second look at what we call all kinds of things was a nicely done TV commercial for a sleeping pill. At least I assume it’s a pill. It could also be a powder, perhaps even a liquid. But, never having taken it, I don’t actually kno

If you are looking for a way to protect your 'income potential' in virtually any economy, you have to know that there is one career, if mastered, that truly is economy proof.

In order to make your resume and cover letters really effective, you must follow a few simple guidelines:
For your resume, divide the page into two parts—one part for your actual resume, one part for testimonials (yes, testimonials!). Testimonials should be from former directors, playwrights, etc. and they shouldn't be hard to get. Just ask! (but be sure to get their permission to use their testimonial on your resume) Include the name and position of the person underneath each testimonial quote.
If you are just starting out, include EVERYTHING acting-related on your resume—list every acting job you've ever had—no matter how small or big the part (yes, even the non-speaking parts!). Remember, you are trying to fill out your resume—list as much as you can. As time goes by, pick off the less glamorous acting parts and replace them with the true gems that highlight your best work.

Dry ice blasting is: - the use of solid CO2 (carbon dioxide) pellets accelerated by compressed air to clean or strip industrial equipment, machinery, buildings, floors etc. of unwanted contaminates. Dry ice pellets impact the surface and expand instantly into a gaseous state hundreds of times greater than their original solid volume, creating miniature explosions on the surface being cleaned. Dry ice is -109 F, this thermal shock aids in removing many materials.

The only organisation that is not ripe for change is one that has absolutely no constraints to its performance. Such an organisatio would be delivering an infinite amount of its goods or services to the market and earning an unlimited amount of money in return. Even if such an organisation exists on this planet, I can bet my last dollar that it's not yours. That means I can tell almost without looking, that you're ripe for change. How do I know?You're Ripe for Change if the Mark

There is no question that employee turnover has a significant impact on the financial performance of an organization.

Actors have little time to spend on marketing themselves—let alone anything else non-acting related. For this reason, you should have two form letters ready to go at all times—one for theater, one for film/television. Keep it short and sweet. Your letter should include a brief introduction, your purpose for writing in, your recent endeavors, and a friendly closing. For example, my cover letter states: I'm writing you today because I am very interested in auditioning for your play (or ‘film' or ‘project'—depending on what you're submitting for) . I know your time is valuable, so I'll make this short: I would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to review my headshot and resume and let me know if you'd like to meet with me. Again, your letter should include your most recent or current work (try to include pictures within the body of the letter), what classes you're taking, etc. Then wrap it up with something short and sweet like: Thank you for your time and consideration. I'd love to meet with you. I can be reached at XXX-XXX-XXXX. I hope to hear from you soon. And then, sign your name to it.
When sending a headshot and resume via email, use the same cover letter used in regular mailings—simply cut and paste it into the text portion of your email (remember, you
