Do I need to have professional actor headshots?

If you are pursuing a career in acting and seeking representation from an agent or manager, professional headshots are typically expected as they serve as your marketing materials to industry professionals. These headshots should be of high quality, featuring a clear and professional image of you that captures your personality and essence as an actor.

On the other hand, if you are simply pursuing acting as a hobby or for personal reasons, professional headshots may not be necessary. In this case, you can still have photos taken by a friend or family member that are of good quality and showcase your personality and range as an actor.

Ultimately, having professional headshots can help you make a good first impression and stand out in a highly competitive industry. However, they may not be a requirement for every situation, and it’s important to weigh the cost and potential benefits before making a decision.
