r/headshots

Just trying to figure out which look is better. I have both looks on my Actors Access.

24M Actor - Would love to hear feedback on my headshot :)

This year I’m hoping to field more auditions for roles in the realms of Law & Order, Last of Us, Paradise, Mayor of Kingston, all the Chicago based shows + commercials. Are my archetypes clear enough? Do these feel worthy of audition invitations? Would love to hear from working actors and folks in casting or talent management—in addition to photo folks, of course.

25M Actor - Would appreciate some feedback :)

Hey everyone!

I’m currently updating my casting package and portfolio for acting, voiceover work, and creative collaborations.

Beyond working on-camera and behind the mic, I’m also a writer, world-builder, and scriptwriter, so I really value seeing how my visual brand translates to character archetypes.

I’m looking to narrow down my lead images for casting platforms (Actors Access, Backstage, casting subs, etc.) and would love your honest feedback.

A few quick questions for you all:

1. What immediate character types or archetypes come to mind when you look at these? (e.g., tech innovator, antagonist/villain, detective, mentor, creative, etc.)

2. What age range would you read me for on-screen or voice roles?

3. Which shot stands out to you as the strongest overall primary headshot (commercial vs. theatrical)?

4. From a writer/creator perspective, do any of these looks jump out as a character you'd write a script or voice role for? Appreciate any honest feedback on the framing, lighting, and overall casting appeal. Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Sorry for the double posting today everyone. Going through all my headshots I received and I posted one earlier today I really liked. However, after receiving some good input I found one that could be better suited for what I am going for. I am more targeting film acting and though it is all subjective, it would be good to go with the trends. Which photo would you say I should use for my main primary theatrical headshot? Or neither and I should keep digging through them. I have over 600 shots haha so.

I want to secure a solid updated headshot before I start the search for an agent again. Any feedback helps here you all have been great in this sub!

26M, Just looking for feedback on my recent headshots. Thanks!

Hello all! I posted my headshots in here a bit ago and got some great feedback and advice. I took that advice and went to get some headshots done for me. Wanted to post here and see how they are. Would this be an acceptable film/TV headshot?

Any feedback is appreciated!

This was my first time ever shooting an actors headshot. Looking for honest feedback to improve on the next one.

Hi,

I am an actress and my playing age is 16 to 25. I mostly get requests for high school roles, playing a teenager. An agent recently expressed interest in representing me, and was quite rude to me from the start saying not very nice things. Anyway he asked me to do a self tape for the lead character 18 TPY, the character is in high school. He was giving compliments about how I'm he's new muse and fellini would have loved me. He kept asking how old I am, and eventually I just said 28, and he replied you can still play younger, the camera loves you. (Of course I play younger that is my niche) So I started learning the script, and he kept bombarding me with age based harassment, even on my whatsapp out of nowhere. Saying comments such as 28 is very late to start acting. (i've been acting for years i'm not just starting) then went on to belittle my career in modelling, saying that I should not model if I want to be taken seriously as an actress. (Again been acting for years). He said I cannot call myself a Supermodel, no one will book me in acting and how i'm not one. ( I am considered a Supermodel, by the fashion industry and general public) He sent me harasssing karen haircuts and said I need to do one of them and I should be with brown hair and then ultimately before I even sent in my tape started saying that pitching me to teen roles is a waste of time and that I have to be only 24 to 30. (now that he asked my age and I said 28 he decided that he would attack and fake change my playing age) He then continuosly attacked me saying more age comments. (even though this agent sent me a high school character upon sight of my headshots and acting reel, before asking my age)

He then said pitching me to teen roles is a waste of everyones time and I will never book them. He also said I will never get a modelling agency in Australia.

he was also being innapropriate and hitting on me making weird comments

He then said in the acting world actors have to play as close to their real age only and that's normal. (Even though every actor on he's site has a playing age up to 15 years younger)

What do you think? Everyone else says I look in high school.

This is my acting reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sZX9rawSDk
