How to write a voice acting resume
By Buford Taylor, who runs Casting Call Club. Updated October 2026.
A voice acting resume is a one-page list of your credits, training and setup. Directors of indie projects mostly look at your demo and credits first, so the resume's job is to back those up fast. Here's what goes on one, and a template to copy.
What to put on it
- Your name and contact go at the top, plus a link to your demo. Make the demo impossible to miss.
- Credits go in groups by kind: animation, games, audiobooks, audio drama, commercial. For each one, list the role, the project and who made it.
- Training: classes, coaching, workshops, theater.
- Home studio: your mic, interface and room. Directors want to know you can record clean audio without them.
- Skills: accents, languages, singing, character ages you can play, and how fast you turn work around.
Template

Tips
- One page. Cut the weakest credits first as you get more.
- Be honest. Fan dubs and hobby projects are real credits. Just label them as what they are.
- Lead with your best work, not your oldest.
- Keep it updated. Add credits as soon as projects release.
Your profile is a resume too
On Casting Call Club, credits from projects you're cast in show on your profile, next to your demos. Directors see them when they listen to your audition, so keep it filled in. New to this and short on credits? Start with how to become a voice actor.
