Plain truth on Headshots

Plain truth on Headshots

Ok folks just got off the phone with a casting director and here is the skinny on actors headshots! She told me out of the 16 people who submitted, only two had headshots that she said were worthy of submitting to anyone. The rest, she said should go in the garbage.

She said, "your headshots are your calling card and must be the very perfect best thing you ever have as a tool". I hate to keep whipping a dead horse but the point is, make SURE your headshots are epic. Because casting directors do not even bother to look past the headshot when looking at submissions... UNLESS the headshot "jumps out at them", AND it is exactly what they are looking for in a certain role.

So make absolutely sure that your headshot is the very best quality , updated and representation of who you are at this moment. And have multiple headshots for each look that you can portray at a given time. That way, you can't go wrong!
