Casting Profile Special Skills

​How recently have you updated the special skills section of your online casting profiles? In the performing arts industry, we are always looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. A great way to set yourself apart is to take advantage of the special skills section. Make use of the space and show casting agents who you are!

Unlike a paper resume, your casting profile is not limited to a single page. Platforms like Actor’s Access and Casting Networks allow users to select from a wide variety of special skills to add to their online resume. Log in to access the skills area of your resume, and make sure you keep your skills updated as your interests and abilities expand and change. A lot of our clients don't realize that keeping your skills updated is just as important as updating your credits and size card! There are a variety of skills listed on each of the various Casting Profiles, so it is vital to make sure you accurately represent yourself.

The skills listed on these platforms go beyond standard industry skills such as voice, dance, acting, etc. You can also share your athletic abilities, accents and languages, other work experience, and much more! It is important to read through the list carefully, so you don’t miss an opportunity to show who you are beyond your credits.
