<p>You can take a ream of paper to [store of your choice] and they will cut it down for you at minimal cost. </p>
<p>Honestly for $9.99 I was glad to have 100 sheets of perfectly cut 8 x 10 paper - but thatâs just me 
Any and all of this can be done at home. But when I find low cost, low stress alternatives in this high cost, high stress process, I try to take advantage! </p>
<p>I think headshot are another piece of the puzzle. I canât imagine a school accepting (or not accepting) a student based on that one issue. If it makes. don you feel better- have fancy schmancy ones made. If not, donât stress it. As I recall a LOT of Dâs schools taking pictures at the audition, so they remember what you looked like that day! We had a session with a well known local guy, but did all our printing trimming etch ourselves- so kind of played it both ways. We wanted D to feel confident about pics (we did them in fall and she used them for auditions all senior year, including a professional Gig!) but saved some $$ was well</p>
<p>You should never have the resume printed on the back of the headshot when the headshots are printed. However, you can print your resume on the back of the headshot by printing it yourself, one at a time, so when the resume changes it wonât matter. We had the headshot printed on paper that allowed printing on the back. However, for college auditions, we printed the resume on 8 x 10 paper and stapled it to the headshot. For non-college auditions in our neck of the woods, they like to have the resume on the back of the headshot. Set yourself up to be adaptable!</p>
<p>Be sure to check college websites for headshot/resume specs regarding stapling. A couple of places want them seperate. </p>
<p>I will just chime in to say that I used to print the headshots myself, but I have found it well worth the money to order in bulk from a photo printing service that specializes in headshots. They will format it for you and color correct it, and can also retouch it if desired. If you want the option to print the resume on the back at home, you can pay a little extra for photo paper that is blank and printable on the reverse. We have used Reproductions dot com and always had good service. Argentum is also well-regarded. Also, in my experience, it is possible to get good professional headshots for as little as $250 if you look around. Of course, it all adds up, but a good photographer can not only get a good technical photo, but can also put your kid at ease, which can result in a better photo.</p>
<p>We had sonâs head shot done at the same time as his Senior portrait. I used Reproductions, and was pleased with the final product. I went the least stress route :)</p>
<p>Doing the pics myself to include photoshopping was like therapy for me - it was something I could do within a process that seemed like I knew nothing!</p>
<p>My daughter has used Reproductions, and one time when there was an error, and they sent to billing address instead of shipping address, I was fretting about how to get them to her, she handled it - no problem, they reprinted the order immediately and overnighted it to the correct address.</p>
<p>Add us to the list that used the senior portraits photographer to double up and take headshots during the same session⊠and we also used reproductions dot com for prints. And when I ordered the 100 copies I thought I was going to have scads left over - but after audition season, and then TPAP - when I packed up the rest for her to take to school this fall - there werenât very many prints left! </p>
<p>^^Ditto.</p>
<p>Heatshot drama over! Now on to something else âŠ</p>
<p>Where do you list range (if at all) on the resume? Special skills? And do you list mezzo ⊠or the actual range? </p>
<p>nowhere, I would think. Your audition will let them know your range.</p>
<p>D listed her range (actual note range) under her name where she had height, hair and eye color, etc. Special skills was a small section under her acting roles.</p>
<p>Vocal part is included in the header of my Sâs resume. Same was what austinmt describes</p>
<p>S listed Special Interests instead of skills because he was in a teenage group that performed at nursing homes, festivals etc.</p>
<p>Actual vocal range listed with height and weight at the top.</p>
<p>I also added note D can belt to so it looks like this: Vocal Range: Soprano w/belt (Eb3-C6, belt to C5)
I think a vocal range is expected.</p>
<p>We didnât list range on Dâs resume - didnât seem to be an issue.</p>
<p>We didnât either.</p>
<p>If the auditors want to know range, and itâs not listed, they will ask, or more likely, vocalize. However, the way evilqueen listed it is fairly standard on professional resumes. </p>
