HeadShot Format

Format for Your Headshot. Having a proper headshot is crucial to your acting career. Consider a black and white 8×10 photograph. Commercial headshots should frame only your face from the shoulders up. You should be smiling, showing a little of your teeth. It’s not a bad idea to have an alternate shot as well that shows off your body. This picture can be more casual. Once you have a headshot, make sure that it evolves with your acting career. If you drastically change hairstyles or gain or lose weight, make sure to have up to date headshots taken. Remember, you want to be recognized.
