modeling resumes

Modeling and acting comp cards provide a way for you to express both your individuality and your range as a performer. As a model, you actually have very little use for a resume or CV per se; your resume is essentially YOU. A comp card is a quick view of what you look like in different types of clothing, positions, colors, etc. You may also hear these referred to as modeling zed cards.
