Show Your Skills
A good way to make your CV unique and stand out is to include a list of your specific skills. These skills could be anything from stage fighting to sports or baking. Anything to set you apart from competition. ​

Professional headshots!

Invest in a nice set of headshots that are professional and showcase you as an actor. This is the first thing casting is going to look at before anything else you submit.

Have a strong accent list

The most obscure and specific accents you can do the more you will stand out to casting directors, RP and standard American are great but every actor can do these, so get practicing the more specific ones. You could also use an  asterisk (*), to highlight your native accent.

Tailor your CV
​
Know your casting type. This doesn’t mean putting all of your ‘eggs in one basket’ it merely means knowing what roles you do and don’t fit and including skills that relate to that and tailoring your show reel and production photos to this.

Build a Show Reel
​Spend time creating a showreel that showcases your character range and shows casting directors what you can do. Having a strong and professional showreel is very beneficial and will stand you above and make you stand out to casting directors.
