What to add on acting resume?

No - drawing has nothing to do with acting. The purpose of a resume/CV for acting is to show the reader what training and experience you've had and any information which they might want to merit their offering you an audition.

The things that ARE relevant would be -

The name of the drama school you attended, how long the course was, and when you graduated.

The details of extra courses you've attended, such as stage combat, accent and voice training, dance grades, singing grades, mime, mask, etc.

What accents you can do convincingly, what languages you speak fluently, any other useful skills such as advanced gymnastics, circus skills, horse-riding, etc.

A list of stage plays you've performed in, in public, and they should include all types of play - Shakespeare, Greek tragedy, comedy, drama, farce, musicals, period drama, etc. naming where they were performed, and the director's name.

A list of short films, student films, naming the directors.

Both of those should not include ensemble roles and other non-speaking roles.

A list of other experience, such as commercials, educational tours, promotional work.

The name and contact details of your agent, if you have one.

You should also have ready prepared -

A good selection of professionally made headshots and stills from any productions you’ve been in.

A professionally made showreel and voicereel.

Ideally, your own website, with all the above displayed and with links to your membership of professional organisations.

I think that's about it.

Hope that helps.

no. you aren't going to be required to draw for any acting roles.

I would not use the term "special skills" but perhaps "related or other" then mention spatial skills and give drawing as an example or attention to detail . However none of this may relate to acting so focus on good memory for lines, able to read mood and direction, passion for the industry and able to fully absorb myself in the role.

I would say you should put it in your special skills. Any unique talents you have could potentially be useful. It is definitely possible that having a talent in visual arts could be beneficial for you- many characters are artists and a knowledge of visual arts can be helpful!

Building an acting resume involves getting quality acting training from respected instructors and getting actual acting experience. That's where your focus should be. If you want to list "drawing" as a special skill, that's fine, but it's not needed.

Resumes are part of your marketing package, not a listing of everything you've ever done. You can (and should) customize your resume based on the role you're auditioning for. So if you're auditioning for the role of an artist or something, you could include your drawing as a special skill. But again it's not a make or break thing.

Drawing has nothing to do with acting. The resume should be tailored to the job being applied for.

No, drawing is not a skill you might use as an actor. Think about it this way: Sometimes actors need to do certain things on screen. When a production is casting, they take into account what the character or the scene requires, so that's added to the things they look at (acting experience, training, representation, looks, age-range, etc.). Meaning, things like singing, dancing, dialects, horseback riding, ice-staking, martial arts, acrobatics, etc.

Yes you should! Also I responded about the unibrow
