Headshots

What is a headshot?? A headshot is a powerful tool for actors to use. It needs to be a high quality photo of you. It should display the type of actor you want to be. There are three types of shots you should get. The "legit shot" the "commercial shot" and the "soap shot". The legit shot should be used for Film and television and displays a natural relaxed look, but don't look expressionless either. The commercial shot can also be used in television and obviously for commercials and you should have a warm inviting look and be smiling. The soap shot is for daytime television and should show of any good features and good looks. Your headshots should be in color and should be sized 8*10 to fit to the back of your resume. . When deciding what to wear, you want something that compliments you characteristics whether it be your eyes hair or what not you want to wear something that looks good on you. Don’t wear bold patterns that distract people from you face, usually good colors would be lighter blue and other plain colors.Heres a link on how to find what colors go best with your skin tone. I hope this helps have a great weekend!!
