    Everyone once in awhile we meet a casting director or agent who says the first and most important thing they look at with an actor is....that's right....their resume! Are you prepared for such a meeting? Your resume is more than a list of credits. It's a marketing tool that tells industry folks a years-long story about your training and work From industry-standard formatting to showcasing training, experience, and special skills, every detail is a factor in how you're perceived. This conversation explores how to build a resume that is professional, easy to read, and tailored to the work you want to book. Whether you're creating your first resume or updating one you've had for years, these insights can help you put your best foot forward!

  • 3 Things Every Actor Needs
    Jun 8 2026

    Do you know the most important marketing materials for an actor? It’s simple, and yet so many actors are not up to date with these things. Headshot. Resume. Reel. In this episode, Misha shares why these three essentials matter, why consistency beats talent alone, and how simply showing up and doing the work can put you ahead of most people in the industry. We also discusses what it really means to treat your acting career like a business. While many people dream of making it in the industry, far fewer are willing to put in the time, effort, and persistence required to build a sustainable career.
