What Are Actor Headshots?

Actor headshots are professional photos submitted to casting teams who determine whether or not the actor or actress is right for the role in question.

Acting headshots can make or break your chances of landing a new role. If you can't afford $250-$500 for a local photo shoot, you can generate acting headshots with HeadshotPro.

“After reading blog reviews, I chose HeadshotPro because it was highly rated.”

Are Acting Headshots Important?

Your headshots open the door for your performance. Acting headshots can be a difference maker for new actors competing for their first few roles.

Young actors and actresses starting to take their career more seriously can use professional headshots to represent that seriousness to casting directors.
