What Are Actor Headshots?

Actor headshots are professional photos submitted to casting teams who determine whether or not the actor or actress is right for the role in question.

Acting headshots can make or break your chances of landing a new role. If you can't afford $250-$500 for a local photo shoot, you can generate acting headshots with HeadshotPro.

Are Acting Headshots Important?

Your headshots open the door for your performance. Acting headshots can be a difference maker for new actors competing for their first few roles.

For those who need nice pics without doing pics

I hate taking pictures, but I do need to have nice pics for profiles, self-presentation materials and just for myself. I checked out different headshot AI apps, but this one is just the most realistic. Not all pics were really like me, but decent ones were more than enough for my needs. Well done!

From Frumpy To Great

Easy to use. I wasn't sure how much my frumpy, every-day clothes would impact the final look. It did a great job of redressing me while also slimming me down and improving my smile while maintaining my age. Every photo looks like me, but on a real good day. I'm thankful to have current, good looking photos in time for my job search.
