Hey, I was wondering if you could make a video on how to get a legitament acting agent if possible, im begginning as an actor and having a legitament agent would definately help out my career. Thanks.

[NellyOdessa]

@edgarsaslacker Hey there- yes! more videos about agents coming your way! Visit 101actingquestions(dot)com for more acting tips. Just remember, an agent takes 10% after you get paid of the work they got you- you do not pay an agent up front (if they ask for $ upfront, its a scam)

What if the only classes you have taken were at your school. Should we mention that or no?

[NellyOdessa]

@Nick199811 Yes! Include them,  Visit 101actingquestions(dot)com for more acting tips.

Hi!

So I want to include spanish in my special skills section, however I wouldn't say that I am completely fluent in spanish. However, I do know a fair amount (phrases, basic sentences, words, etc.). So should I include it anyway or leave it out?

[NellyOdessa]

@DamianGarcia92 Nope. Sorry, but in your case you should leave it off. You would list a foreign language if you can freely have a coversation, so fluent or advanced conversational level only. Visit 101actingquestions(dot)com for more acting tips.

Hi there,

I was wondering if we put our age on the resume as well and the dates we have done the projects.

[NellyOdessa]

@kinie123 No! Don't put your age on your resume- only children should list their age. You can list an age range you can play , for example 18-23, or 25-30, etc. (regardless of your real age). However, it's better to not include anything related to age and let them make that assumption based on your headshot and your look. That's why it's very important that your headshot looks like you! And No- don't list the dates of the projects either. Hope this helps!
