    a) a Headshot is NOT a portrait of you shot from shoulders up
    b) a COMMERCIAL Headshot can be a portrait as well as shot from waist up and also full length shot and most often smiling
    c) a THEATRICAL Headshot is typically a portrait
    d) A GREAT HEADSHOT is a Headshot that makes the Casting Director or Viewer stop to look at yours, as an example, if all the Headshots received by the Casting Director are B&W and yours is in Color: yours will standout.
    e) Best way to determine what a GREAT HEADSHOT is, is to get Feedback from Top Casting Directors and ask them to give you examples of Headshots that catches their attention

      It doesn't matter if you wear make up but it has to not be a full glam look, it has to be daily make up. If you don't wear make up even better...they see you all natural.

    you’ve inspired me to become an actress. when i was very little seriously like 3 i talked to myself pretending i was on a show. then my parents got me into acting at around 8. i stopped after the session was over. i started watching your videos around 10 years old and now 2 years later I still watch them because they’re so helpful!! ❤️

    Do you think it’s concerning if you missing a body part? Like I got in a hand accident and I lost a finger so do you think that can be a reason I can’t be casted? Would you think my hand would be a problem if I pursue acting?

    Hey! I know I’m late, but if you had your hair down in the headshot, but go into the audition with your hair in a ponytail is that ok?
