What makes a good actor headshot?

When it comes to creating an actor’s headshot, you want it to reflect not just your appearance but also a level of professionalism as well as hints of who you are and what type of roles you would be best suited for. Casting directors often have a specific idea in mind when casting for their productions, and thus, the way your headshot portrays you will help determine what types of roles you get called in for. An effective headshot should accurately capture your look, age range, occupation ideas, socioeconomic background, personality traits and inner emotional life in order to make the biggest impact possible on casting directors.
