Cant find the answer?

Who is this for?

Any actor at any level.

When you go to college or attend a prestigious training program, you walk away with incredible training but they most often do NOT teach you what to do once you hit the ground running.

What often happens is actors get swept up in the bright lights, big city, and big prices, and throw spaghetti at the wall seeing what sticks. They don’t quite understand how the business truly works, who they are, where they are truly relevant, who their buyers are, what they are selling, and most importantly HOW to sell it.

We can help!

My headshots aren't very good right now/I only have one headshot...

You need professional headshots, and more than one. Invest in your career. There are many photographers out there that will do your headshots for a reasonable rate, so always ask to see their work first before you shoot, sometimes you can get references and if you do check them out.

The most important factor is your headshots need to look like you! 

*Do not wear makeup or style yourself in a fashion that would make you look too glamorous i.e. as if you’re trying to be sexy at a hip club on a Saturday night. 

It’s important that your head and upper torso are clear so agents and casting directors can fairly judge you physically. 

No busy patterns or jewelry that will take away from your face and please no props or large distracting items behind you, unless you are taking lifestyle or commercial photos.
