We’ve got 8 struggles young actors face when building their resume for auditions – from listing past experiences to referencing your skills. Here are several problems every young actor works through when trying to break into the business.

1. Feeling like you don’t have enough experience.

2. Wishing you had more unique skills and talents.

3. Trying to get a better headshot.

4. Figuring out which performance experiences are relevant.

5. Wishing that you were fluent in another language or dialect.

6. Having to print out pages and pages of paperwork because you didn’t print it right the first time.

7. Trying to mail out your resume/give them to agencies.
