Something every actor needs is photos of themselves. There are so many reasons you need these pictures, but the main and most obvious one is that you need headshots and you need great options for them. This pilot season, there are over 500 new shows being produced. That is an insane amount of opportunity for actors, never before seen. You need to be able to portray a ton of different types, characters, and situations. The more shows there are, the more types of people and characters you have to be able to portray. This is why you need to have a wide array of headshots, and give your representatives a ton of options for pictures to submit you to projects with.
      The headshot doesn’t have to necessarily be you in a brightly colored t-shirt, smiling super wide in a studio setting. This is a type of headshot for sure and it is something that can be necessary, but there are also many other types of headshots you can have as well. Outdoors headshots can be amazing; they can give your photos a sense of being casual and not too planned. The best type of photo is one that you feel comfortable in and that you are communicating the exact message you want to communicate.
      Give your reps tons of different options of photos to submit you with so that there is nothing else holding them back from sending you out for each and every single role you could possible be good for. This is a great way to take more control over your career this pilot season and get yourself that much closer to achieving your goals!
