Its really good it almost can pass but, your dresser in the back girl! lol you've got a really good camera so next time just take it outside and go to headshot photographer and have them print it out in the right format!Www@QuestionHome@Com

To be very blunt, if you bring this to an audition the casting agent may laugh at you!.
Casting directors can be very picky about headshots, but if you bring in one that is not professionally done, they will definitely be able to tell and they will most likely judge you as not serious enough to be a contender for the part!.
It totally sucks but thats reality!. I have sat in on many a resume and headshot workshop where the speaker spent quite a bit of time on headshot do's and don'ts and this is definitely a don't!.
If you are really serious about a career in film or theater, you should invest the money in a good headshot photographer!. But shop around until you find one you love and feel comfortable with!. Remember you get what you pay for, but you don't have to pay $600 for a good headshot!.

it depends!. please do not take this out for a professional run!. if you are auditioning for community theatre stuff, that's fine!. DO NOT rely on this pic other than that!. it's not even in focus! for example, this is around the top of the line for theatrical headshots if you're auditioning in chicago!.!.!.i think this chick also goes to LA: http://www!.jannagiacoppo!.com/!. look at the quality, the clarity!. not saying that your headshots have to be this expensive (and she is!) but go online and look at some other headshot photographers and compare what you have!. it just looks unprofessional compared!. but you can get a good shot for not a whole bunch!. but if you're considering a theatrical/commercial career and will eventually need a headshot, go ahead and invest a bit of money into it!. a headshot can easily get you into an audition!.!.!.it's the usually the first thing people look at!. and my last headshot lasted almost 10 years!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It needs to be much more professional!. It's very blurry!. If you can't pay for professional headshots, find a friend with a decent camera and have them take it for you!. This is your first impression on agents/casting directors, make it count!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
