Introduction

If you do not have your head shot and resume posted in the Actors Gallery section, and you need some help to create a resume, this is the place to look.  Check out the current Actors Gallery by clicking on the red ‘Actors Gallery’ button at the right.

Various servers display emails differently. Often, inserted texts get odd substitutions for quotation marks, commas, and other punctuation, making reading the announcement difficult and making editing tedious, but necessary.

Attaching a plain text file, or attaching a Microsoft Word document is pretty much the safest route. Word Perfect and PDF files are a lot of work to handle, so please avoid them. 

For pictures, JPG, JPEG, BMP, and GIF images work the best. Should you need to send many files, which include pictures and documents, I can download .zip or .rar files as well, and extract them accordingly.

Resumes for Minors

If the subject of this resume and head shot is a minor, written permission is required for us to publish the information. Be aware that there are all sorts of people in the world, and some of them do have the best intentions. We just want to be sure that a parent has approved before adding the resume for a minor to Stagewhispers.  Click on the red ‘Permission for Minor’ button at the right for full details.

Let’s Create Your Resume

Here’s the process to follow:

1. Click on red ‘Template Instructions’ button at the right and please READ THEM.  When you have completed reading the instructions (and you may want to print them for reference as you fill out the blank template), return to this page, pick up your current resume or gather your resume information and we’ll start to create one for you to send to Stagewhispers.
2. Click on the red ‘Blank Template’ button on the right, which will take you to the same general information but without all the detail. Use copy and paste to copy this information to a file with your favorite word processor.  The goal is to create an MS Word file or a text file with all the appropriate categories with your details.
3. Edit the MS Word or text file to add all of your information.  If there are categories you don’t have any information (like film & television if you’ve worked only on the stage), don’t fret.  Just delete the sections from your document about film and television.  File this away so you have your own copy of it on your computer. 
4. Also, if you bring up both your editor and the ‘Template Instructions’ page at the same time, you can read the instructions then fill in that section with minimal hassle.
5. If you have a head shot or other picture as a JPG or PNG file, load it into a file on your computer or find it so you’ll know where it is and what it’s called.
6. Then click on the red ‘Submit Resume’ button at the right. This will take you to the submission form where you’ll be asked to fill out basic information in the form itself (name, address, phone number, etc) and indicate which of those items may be published.  There are also places on the form to attach your resume file and your picture file, so have those ready to go first.
7. When you are done filling in all the relevant information on the form, click ‘Print’ at the bottom of the form if you’d like to keep a copy for yourself, then click on ‘Submit’ to send everything in.
8. Then sit back and wait for the Stagewhispers web site to be updated with your information (which will normally be the same day or next day, but it could be longer.  So be patient).
