How to Build a Professional Actor CV in Morocco
Rédaction CASTIZEN
Your actor CV is not a corporate résumé. It follows a specific format that casting directors expect. Getting it right makes you look professional; getting it wrong makes you look like a beginner.

- Your digital CV on Castizen
One page. Always one page. Even if you have extensive experience.

Training & Special Skills
Training
Acting classes, workshops, conservatory training. Include teacher/school name and year. Even short workshops count — they show commitment.
Special skills
Horse riding, martial arts, dance, swimming, music, sports, driving licenses, accents or dialects.
Common CV Mistakes
- Including non-acting work experience (your corporate job is irrelevant)
- Multi-page CVs (one page maximum)
- Listing skills you can't demonstrate (don't claim fluent English if you can't hold a conversation)
- Outdated headshot attached
- Missing contact information
