Drama Coach Resume

Acting on stage in front of the audience is not an easy task. If the artist is not able to emote properly or according to the demand of the script, or there is a mis-match between dialogue and expression, the play will not have the intended impact on the audience. Hence, educational institutions hire drama coaches to help students learn acting and the art of expressing. These coaches take auditions, hire artists, and organize and oversee rehearsals. They also contribute in the selection of costumes, stage designing, and selecting right make-up for artists. In short, they prepare actors for entertaining public.

If you love creating actors out of individuals and improving stage performances, the drama coach career is for you. Learn the required competencies for the job with this sample job application.
