Acting : Resume- Online Masterclass Yes or No? by Christian Hetrick

If your instructor is well-respected, then l'd say list the class and instructor. You gain credibility from having studied under well-respected instructors.

No I was told by a reputable coach that to list a class on a resume it has to be taken in the presence of your peers. Kinda sucks though if you don't have a lot of access to training

I admit actor resumes are not my area of expertise. If Christian has little or no training on his resume, I'd say that that some training, if even online, from a well-respected name is helpful. It's worth rolling the dice if you're looking at nothing vs an online course taught by a reputable instructor. On the other hand, if he has 5 classes from UCB, for example, then that's plenty, and he can leave off the online class. At the very least, an online class taught by a reputable instructor shows effort and dedication.

Thanks for the comments! Ross Hammond...you have a great point and that is kind of what I was thinking. Regina Lee, your point is valid as well...especially considering I am a late comer to acting with no current formal training. I could probably list it on there and as I further my education in a classroom/private setting I could then replace it. Thanks again for the take on my comment!!

In LA, they only care about classes you've done in person. My experience. Feel free to reach out to me if you need any help. I even have a free video I made and can send you on how to create an acting resume for LA. (PS- I came late to acting as well ;)

Want someone help me in this

Dear friends I have a confusion about something and I hope someone expert like you to give me pretty advise and directions

Since my childhood I was fan with commercials , child songs and music shows , cartoons , musical movies , musical theater , musical TV show , and the weired thing that I was like TV musical intro which are considered as some video shots with musical background explain this shot

All media I mentioned above I was imitate it , memorize it , act and re-perform it , sometimes I create new thing in my performance or rhyme , but I like to sing and dance and act in the same time this is satisfied fir me , so as many people said we advise you to study musical theater , but there is another weired thing which make me feel satisfied further more which is ( I like acting the music literally ) NOT songs I m saying pure instrumental music , when you play a music there is lot of scenes , images , reaction motion energize my head and body , so for each musical notes I give a facial reaction or mime and also body motion , I can tell a mind created story by reaction and improvised body language , I think about pantomime or mime but when I watched I found that they miming upon specific music which always be a solo piano or violin played in the background also it mostly be comedic performance , but I can make in silent acting with my whole body and face , I can recite music to tragedy or action or comedy and sometimes the triple in one scene

Fir instance I give you an example to be more clearer , imagine if you watch opera Carmen with musical orchestra and the actor not sing but acting silently but they give you the exact delivery similar to the delivery if they sang

I m the medium between the instrumental music and the audience , the audience see music through me not listen only , and I m insist that what I do is acting not dancing , surely some times I dance but basically acting is the basic

I can act without music but i was unsatisfied rather than musical background , music activate my imagination

So my questions are

1- whats this kind of art classified ?

Musical theater , pantomime , mine or something else ?

2- what you recommend me to study for improving thus talent ?

Please advise

King regards
