    This was so helpful! I really struggled with figuring out my hair for headshots because I change my hair a lot from my curls to braids then I shaved my head and wore wigs sometimes. This really helped me narrow it down!

    Very helpful. Based in Tokyo the Japan style of actor's headshots is very one note. Hoping to bring more of the LA style of headshots to Tokyo. Great advice!

    This is GOLD! Thank you. About researching and looking up actors' headshots, when I looked up their IMDB, I only saw red carpet photos, stills from the shows, or glamour shots that weren't necessarily acting headshots. For example: Lana Condor, Janel Parrish. In this case, what would you suggest I do?

    • @NikkoAustenSmith
      @NikkoAustenSmith  2 роки тому +1

      hi there! thank you so much!
      i’d definitely recommend looking up some editorial photos of them on www.gettyimages.com ! Getty Images is such a great resource. you should be able to find some photo shoot style photos there that may help. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

    Very informative thanks , where to post ps I can’t pay for website fees now. how to get scouted internationally and is it possible?

    • @NikkoAustenSmith
      @NikkoAustenSmith  3 роки тому

      hi there ! yes, it is possible to get scouted internationally. i think what may be helpful is doing some research on which agencies would be a great fit for you. you can look at the agencies rosters on IMDBpro (they have a free trial for 30 days) to see what type of actors they represent, and what shows their clients are on. I'll be doing a video on how to land the best agent in the future ! in the meantime, i recommend checking out my "BRAND" video, so that you're 100% positive you know yourself as an actor. hope this helps!
