During my many years spent as a theatrical producer I was always amazed at how many actors didn't have decent up to date head shots.
Bearing in mind that this is the first impression they are making to casting directors, it is an essential tool of their trade.
When I used to receive 'snaps' taken on a phone by the person in the picture I thought to myself why audition this person? They're obviously not professional!
Just as annoying was inviting someone to an audition only to realise they were at least 10 years older than they were in the picture they had sent us.
The excuse from most actors is 'we can't afford professional head shots'. Fair enough, some studios charge a lot of money. But shop around, there are studios such as ourselves who charge realistic prices and a good head shot will get you invited to auditions. the rest is down to you!
So, if you're an actor in the north east and you need a new headshot call us. You'll be surprised (in a good way) at the value!
