This was so helpful! I really struggled with figuring out my hair for headshots because I change my hair a lot from my curls to braids then I shaved my head and wore wigs sometimes. This really helped me narrow it down!
hi there! i don’t have a video about this, but you can make one for free using a site like wordclouds.com ! ✨🙌🏾 hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Very helpful. Based in Tokyo the Japan style of actor's headshots is very one note. Hoping to bring more of the LA style of headshots to Tokyo. Great advice!
This video was awesome!! I think I got more out of this than in the $200 seminars my old acting coach offered. And you are adorable!! All the best to you and thanks for this!!
this video was so so sooo helpful. I’m super nervous about my new headshot shoot bc I have a new hair color and I just want them to be perfect. thanks for all of this amazing information, I definitely more prepared.

thank you so much! i used james Depietro photography in LA. ✨ here’s his website! headshotsbyjd.com/?fbclid=PAAaanRzewKHsXtdlJM_O9lvk7t7D7X_QDj2b18jJA0KqxwQPR3M4yNhxBStQ he also has a dope insta too!@jamesdepietrophotography
This is GOLD! Thank you. About researching and looking up actors' headshots, when I looked up their IMDB, I only saw red carpet photos, stills from the shows, or glamour shots that weren't necessarily acting headshots. For example: Lana Condor, Janel Parrish. In this case, what would you suggest I do?
hi there! thank you so much! i’d definitely recommend looking up some editorial photos of them on www.gettyimages.com ! Getty Images is such a great resource. you should be able to find some photo shoot style photos there that may help. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
hi there ! yes, it is possible to get scouted internationally. i think what may be helpful is doing some research on which agencies would be a great fit for you. you can look at the agencies rosters on IMDBpro (they have a free trial for 30 days) to see what type of actors they represent, and what shows their clients are on. I'll be doing a video on how to land the best agent in the future ! in the meantime, i recommend checking out my "BRAND" video, so that you're 100% positive you know yourself as an actor. hope this helps!
@@NikkoAustenSmith The way you looked and the sound of your voice in that McDonald's commercial when you were ordering the breakfast sandwiches...you reminded me of her!! 😂😂😂😂
your facial movements are EXTREMELY similar to Gabrielle Union & it's bothering me , b/c i'm like "is she acting right now, or is she talking to me like a friend?" lol

Is it best to get headshots done in a studio or outside?
hi there! ✨
it depends what look you’re going for. i’ve had all my shots in LA done in a studio.
I probably don’t belong here but since my RUclips algorithm brought me here I’m going to say it’s ok. Thank you for putting out this great advice.
