Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Take a headshot photo and get many copies printed!.

When you don't have an agent, you'll have to bring your headshot and resume to each audition you go on!.

You can send your headshot and resume to agencies!. You'll have to have more than one print of it so you can send it to more than one!.

Once you're in the agency they'll sometimes send it out before you actually go to audition - in that case, you MIGHT NOT have to bring it, however, sometimes you still will have to, and you probably always should just in case they lost it for any reason!.

Just print lots of copies of your headshot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One good headshot can be used for a year or more - in fact until you no longer look like you looked in that picture! In practice most people book a session with a photographer, who will take lots of shots and you can then select the best three or four!.
You can load a photo into your computer and email it to agents!. (Quite a good idea to reduce it in size so the files don't take too long to load), or you can have a number of prints done and send one to each agent you apply to!. Again, if you have loaded the photo into your computer, and you have a decent printer, you can print your own copies onto photo paper!. Make sure you get the copyright with the photos when the photographer gives you the cd with them on!.

Obviously its cheapest by email!

I would gather, you need a Portfolio for your audition!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
