Headshots are a crucial part of an acting portfolio, and they must be taken professionally. Headshots, as the name suggests, are photographs that only show your face and neck. Search online or reach out to other friends in acting to find a local photographer who can take high-quality headshots for your acing portfolio. Never try to take your own headshots. Even if the photographs look acceptable to you, a casting director or audition manager will be able to tell that they are not professional-grade material. You'll have many options to choose from following your headshot photoshoot. A good acting portfolio should include two (or three) headshots, so choose a couple of photos that look good and that you'd be proud to hand to an audition manager. It would be redundant to present headshots with two identical expressions. For example, in one headshot you could have a more “edgy” look, while in a second shot you could have a broad, welcoming smile. Since you'll be relying on your headshot to appeal to casting directors and land you auditions, make sure that your headshot suits the type of role that you're auditioning for. Headshots can convey the “type” of actor that you are, and the type of character that you're capable of portraying. For example, don't submit a headshot in which you look edgy and rebellious if you're audition to play a lovable, kind character. Headshot demands can differ based on the type of acting work you're auditioning for. If you're planning to work in television or to appear in commercials, you'll need what's known as a “commercial” headshot, in which you are smiling. If you want to audition for theater or films, plan to submit a more serious headshot in your acting portfolio.
