If you’ve read my other articles, then you should know by now that I’m not about pinning our success and hopes and dreams on wishing for a happy accident. I’m about strategy; a solid strategy for success. Nowhere in our industry is strategy overlooked more often than with headshots.
Oh, headshots. They’re the perfect scapegoat for actors. Having trouble getting repped? Blame your headshots! Not getting called in? Blame your headshots! Aren’t working enough? Blame your headshots!
Actors are constantly stressed out about their headshots. We all need them, and they’re our main marketing tool, so they need to represent us well. So, if you’re like so many others, you’re probably pulling your hair out, staring at your shots thinking, Do these represent me well?!?! Are they too sexy? Too quirky? Too colorful? Not colorful enough? Too zoomed in? Too photoshopped? AHHHHH!!!
OK, chill. I’m here to give you my strategy for success with headshots. If you haven’t yet read my previous series on “Getting your ‘look’ right,” then go read it now and come back here when you’re done: Part 1 & Part 2.
Headshots is a big business in the acting world.
