a) a Headshot is NOT a portrait of you shot from shoulders up b) a COMMERCIAL Headshot can be a portrait as well as shot from waist up and also full length shot and most often smiling c) a THEATRICAL Headshot is typically a portrait d) A GREAT HEADSHOT is a Headshot that makes the Casting Director or Viewer stop to look at yours, as an example, if all the Headshots received by the Casting Director are B&W and yours is in Color: yours will standout. e) Best way to determine what a GREAT HEADSHOT is, is to get Feedback from Top Casting Directors and ask them to give you examples of Headshots that catches their attention
Well rn there’s ads all over Instagram that’s how I got into an acting agency cuz they’re having auditions over zoom rn so it doesn’t matter where u live
You almost made me start to cry when you were talking about the overall steps to become an actress. I really love you, and your inspiration means so much to me. I really love you, and I’m gonna work hard for you and myself. :)
you’ve inspired me to become an actress. when i was very little seriously like 3 i talked to myself pretending i was on a show. then my parents got me into acting at around 8. i stopped after the session was over. i started watching your videos around 10 years old and now 2 years later I still watch them because they’re so helpful!! ❤️
Abby, do you have any experience at acting? You should start getting some experience if you haven't. You can gain experience by becoming involved in any stage productions or local theater groups.
there’s many agencies that have open call auditions which means anyone (even beginners) can join and they’ll help you get started, take classes and build your resume
It doesn't matter if you wear make up but it has to not be a full glam look, it has to be daily make up. If you don't wear make up even better...they see you all natural.
I wanna start acting, I go on an acting class and it is pretty helpful considering I have both my acting class and RUclips (specifically you💘) to help me👑 I find all of your videos/contents helpful, fun, and amusing👌👌😘
Kiara's camera your mom can be your agent in the beginning, but she can only get you so far. Then you have to have a bigger agency that gets the much bigger roles.
This vid was super helpful! Thank you so much! Could you make a video going more into depth about agencies? How they work, what they do, how to get signed with one, and what do you need them for and stuff like that? I love you so much💖
I love your acting videos so much ! I’ve been acting for 6 years however now I’m 15 I’m taking it a LOT more seriously !!! And now I’m homeschooled so I can focus on acting !!
Can you wear a ponytail in a headshot? Because my hair is super curly and I usually have to wash it before to make it look good. So I would have to wash my hair right before the audition. I always have my hair in a ponytail most of the time. Also, what are some good headshot background ideas? Thanks! ❤️🙏🏼
Do you think it’s concerning if you missing a body part? Like I got in a hand accident and I lost a finger so do you think that can be a reason I can’t be casted? Would you think my hand would be a problem if I pursue acting?
thats so sweet. check out my actors channel. i hope i can help. im a actor on cbbc and trying to spread the knowledge. ruclips.net/video/3OQBoc_RcZA/видео.html
Hiii! I loved that video, my dream is to be an actress, and you really help me to find the right steps and to believe in it harder everyday! Could you do a video where you explain where to go to get an agent, how to get an agent? That would really help me!! Love you, you’re amazing! 💗💗💗
How do u sumbir a headshot????? I’m just wondering and how do u submit everything??? I really wanna be a extra on stranger things cause it seems fun I don not care about the fame or Meeting the cast I just wanna become a actor and your videos are really really helpful💗💗
Should I try to get head shots right now even though it's lock down? I know I will need to eventually but I also know that headshots need to be recent and I don't have any upcoming audition opportunities for the six months, at least.
Your videos are so helpful. I really badly needed how to get the perfect headshot and the other videos were hard and your video was amazing. p.s your super pretty!!!!! :D
Ally S If an agent isn’t getting you jobs you should probably talk to them about it. If the continue not to get you Auditions... Leave. Some agents allow clients to have other agents in other states but talk to your agent first.
This actually helped because when i’m going to come from vacation i’m going to go get headshots thx for tips 💕 P.S you really inspired me to be am actress so now in september i’m going to take acting leassons,you are just my idol ilysm 💘
Okay so a random company called me and said they want to pull me in for an audition this weekend but I don’t even have a headshot they just know my name and know I want to act. And my mom didn’t do anything about it somebody help
Hi Audrey I absolutely love your videos ❤️❤️ I have a question I have an iPhone 7plus but I was wondering how you enlarged the photo after printing it and where did you print it ?
Hey! I currently signed up for an acting website and have a few options saved in case I want to audition. My parents fully support me and I can't wait to book my first role! xoxox
Hey I really want to become an actor and I have a few questions of how to become an actor but my first question is how long do u think you should train in acting classes for??? And my last question is how do u put ur headshot out there for people to see it??? Please like or reply please
i dont really think you just show people your headshots like post them out there, but its more of when you audition. so if i auditioned for something online then most likely email a headshot rather than just posting them
Take a headshot with your blue hair, keep it up. when you have the money for another colour do it and do more headshots in that colour. that would be best ruclips.net/video/3OQBoc_RcZA/видео.html
Hey! I have a question that bothers me : do agencies even look at people who has some teeth defects? Like I've got my one tooth not in line with the others and I'm really nervous about it and that it can put me into trouble
Hi I'm a 9-year-old actor with a question, If you take a portrait on a phone how do you print it out properly or how do you turn that in because most headshots need to be stapled to the back of your resume. Thanks
You can get them printed at a shop idk where you live but for me (Australia) I go to Kmart to print out pictures you basically just find the computers there and it gives you instructions :D
Hey, I'm male, and I want to get into acting, I have my entire life. so I have a question. What if you're taking a headshot, and your hair is kind of short. And when you turn up for an audition, your hair is longer or in a different hair style. Does that matter by any chance?
I would say for a guy, your headshot should be the shortest you normally wear your hair and if it’s not quite as short for the audition they can always have you cut it before filming, but they can’t wait for you to grow it out.
how much should I have on my resume before looking for an agent/auditions? Ive went to three weeks of acting classes (that were daily for 6 hours) which had a show at the end and I’m currently in more acting classes that are once a week and it’s for a year, is that enough to get an agent?
I don't have money, I'm 13, (I probably don't have a chance), it would be hard to travel because my mom doesn't have a vehicle, I'm sorta shy, but i LOVE acting. I do it all the time, but i don't know how to get started with all of this. Any advice?
a) a Headshot is NOT a portrait of you shot from shoulders up
b) a COMMERCIAL Headshot can be a portrait as well as shot from waist up and also full length shot and most often smiling
c) a THEATRICAL Headshot is typically a portrait
d) A GREAT HEADSHOT is a Headshot that makes the Casting Director or Viewer stop to look at yours, as an example, if all the Headshots received by the Casting Director are B&W and yours is in Color: yours will standout.
e) Best way to determine what a GREAT HEADSHOT is, is to get Feedback from Top Casting Directors and ask them to give you examples of Headshots that catches their attention
Exactly. She's just guessing and giving bad advice. Lol
Could you do a video on how to get an agency? Or a video on how to get auditions without an agency
@Victoria Strauss Not everyone lives on the west coast. Thanks though.
Victoria Strauss umm yeah I live in the U.K.
@@RedSails Here you go, they post basically for everywhere www.projectcasting.com/
Well rn there’s ads all over Instagram that’s how I got into an acting agency cuz they’re having auditions over zoom rn so it doesn’t matter where u live
You almost made me start to cry when you were talking about the overall steps to become an actress. I really love you, and your inspiration means so much to me. I really love you, and I’m gonna work hard for you and myself. :)
Aww that means the world to me
I love your videos you and Millie inspire me to become a actress 💛💛
Me too. You guys are so inspiring and really good actors. 😛😁
Millie Bobby brown really did inspire me to and I’m working hard 😘
Bellarrr rr same here!!
ME TOO
Bella Ari Same! It’s kinda difficult though because I have super bad Anxiety...
i don’t even act (or have any potential lmao) but your videos are so interesting!
"Only $150" lmao
That’s not that much for a head shot
that’s not that much. others are like 200-350
That’s cheap in the headshot game but in terms of money it’s expensive but in terms of headshots, it’s affordable
*_*screams in anxious poor person*_*
I'd have to get straight As and have a birthday to do that
you’ve inspired me to become an actress. when i was very little seriously like 3 i talked to myself pretending i was on a show. then my parents got me into acting at around 8. i stopped after the session was over. i started watching your videos around 10 years old and now 2 years later I still watch them because they’re so helpful!! ❤️
can you please do a video specific to getting into an agency?
Abby, do you have any experience at acting? You should start getting some experience if you haven't. You can gain experience by becoming involved in any stage productions or local theater groups.
there’s many agencies that have open call auditions which means anyone (even beginners) can join and they’ll help you get started, take classes and build your resume
Oh my gosh! Thanks, I have been asking for this and now I'm almost totally ready to start acting! I love you, Audrey! Keep up the good work!
anyone else worried they aren’t pretty enough to be an actress-
alsoo does it matter if you do / don’t wear make up for your headshot ?
It doesn't matter if you wear make up but it has to not be a full glam look, it has to be daily make up. If you don't wear make up even better...they see you all natural.
do you smile for a headshot or straight face
Depends on what roles you’re going for
Commercial Headshots you should smile for, basically everything else is a straight face
Olivia you should try get at least one where you are smiling and one where you make a straight face
Straight face 💜🐳
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I freaking love your channel!! I needed this as my next step to achieving my dream as an actress!!!
I wanna start acting, I go on an acting class and it is pretty helpful considering I have both my acting class and RUclips (specifically you💘) to help me👑 I find all of your videos/contents helpful, fun, and amusing👌👌😘
Thanks for the video! It was really helpful!❤ Just a question: Do I need an agent to audition digitally for example Stranger Things??
For a big show like that yes
+Audrey Hope do you know anyone who diden't have an agent when u were an extra on stranger things?
Yes
Not as an extra
Kiara's camera your mom can be your agent in the beginning, but she can only get you so far. Then you have to have a bigger agency that gets the much bigger roles.
Everyone is like “I can just use my 7+ that works” (me) IPHONE SE 😂😂😂

jpreadingirl i would love that to!
What if your face has a bunch of acne ? 😞
Dosent matter ther mit be a part in a move we're ther looking for a teenager with acne for a part
@@youalreadyknow5795 true
All im saying is that grover had acne and they are making a new tv show on disney + 👀

I love your acting videos so much ! I’ve been acting for 6 years however now I’m 15 I’m taking it a LOT more seriously !!! And now I’m homeschooled so I can focus on acting !!
From a photographer's perspective, this advice is SO good! Thanks for sharing.

I always have my hair in a ponytail most of the time. Also, what are some good headshot background ideas? Thanks! ❤️🙏🏼
Thanks for the tips! I’m getting mine Saturday!
Thank you I have a really big show case in a few weeks and this helped
Just wondering but I’m a girl who has skin problems and spots,,would they mind about that? Or would I never get into acting x
it depends ! there are actually a lot of casting calls for people who have problems like that! some people like the character to have unique traits.
Ok but she deserves millions of followers
how big should we be printing them? do we attach them seperately from our resume with a paper clip or something?
do you recommend getting a headshot before taking acting classes and getting involved in plays?
Hi Audrey! I am an actress also and i am struggling to find a good agency. I find all of your videos very helpful and I am a huge fan! Ilysm❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I’m going to have my headshot taken by my aunt because she’s a professional photographer. She has done a lot of headshots for people.
Do you think it’s concerning if you missing a body part? Like I got in a hand accident and I lost a finger so do you think that can be a reason I can’t be casted? Would you think my hand would be a problem if I pursue acting?
tomato lover i would say it depends on the role :)

OH MY FREAKING GOSH YOUR VIDEOS ARE THE MOST HELPFUL THINGS ON THIS PLANET!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😘😘😘💋💋💋 thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much !!!
For some reason the best camera I have is on my iPhone 5 it just works really good!
What happens if your headshot has long hair but afterwards you had it cut really short and went into an audition?
Probably a really stupid question but can you have multiple agents or what should you do if an agent isn’t working out for you
Ally S If an agent isn’t getting you jobs you should probably talk to them about it. If the continue not to get you Auditions... Leave. Some agents allow clients to have other agents in other states but talk to your agent first.
You help me out with acting related tips so much!!!
Thank you so much your videos are so helpful!! 🙏💕
could you do a video on like how you find your auditions/roles?
Does this also apply to boys
GiantTheNoobGuy Playz Yup! Except im sure your hair isnt long enough to go to your back and shoulders xD
This actually helped because when i’m going to come from vacation i’m going to go get headshots thx for tips 💕
P.S you really inspired me to be am actress so now in september i’m going to take acting leassons,you are just my idol ilysm 💘

Hey! I know I’m late, but if you had your hair down in the headshot, but go into the audition with your hair in a ponytail is that ok?
Sofia’s_Schnappin_out ST that should be okay but some girls put it in a ponytail anyways
What if you hav glasses do we put them in head shot?
Loved this video! Helped so much! By the way I love your eyes there so pretty!!!!!!!
Hi Audrey I absolutely love your videos ❤️❤️ I have a question I have an iPhone 7plus but I was wondering how you enlarged the photo after printing it and where did you print it ?

You are great!! And you really help me!!
Ok, I have a question. When I look up examples of good headshots there is a lot of black and white pictures. What do you recommend?
Hi one question what’s best in a head shot, to have your hair up or down or dosnt matter.
i just found myself an agency that gets me jnto big tv shows amd sitcoms!
Please please explain what an Agent is and Agencies. I really would like to know.
Since we can’t get anyone to take them in lockdown I’ve come to this😂
Thank you
I have a question
How big does your headshots needs to be?

What do you do if you have blue hair and don't have the money to dye your hair another colour for a while but you need a headshot right away?

What if you're taking a headshot, and your hair is kind of short. And when you turn up for an audition, your hair is longer or in a different hair style.
Does that matter by any chance?
DancingDisco I would say it matters because I have to wear my hair identical to how I do in my headshot!
Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you! :)

Hey future Audrey! Does a 11 work?
I don't have money, I'm 13, (I probably don't have a chance), it would be hard to travel because my mom doesn't have a vehicle, I'm sorta shy, but i LOVE acting. I do it all the time, but i don't know how to get started with all of this. Any advice?
Okay so i wear makeup sometimes but not always, so should i make a headshot with or without makeup or both?
Would u need background of doing acting to get into auditions? 💓
