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

[@geejohnson7278]

Exactly. She's just guessing and giving bad advice. Lol

[@raind0ll]

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. :)

[@AudreyHope]

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. 😛😁

i don’t even act (or have any potential lmao) but your videos are so interesting!

[@yanamaico1392]

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.

[@sherryscott3444]

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

[@aziadove]

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!! ❤️

[@tommymcpheemusic7745]

"Only $150" lmao

[@sherryscott3444]

That’s not that much for a head shot

[@aziadove]

that’s not that much. others are like 200-350

[@Sam-du7cm]

That’s cheap in the headshot game but in terms of money it’s expensive but in terms of headshots, it’s affordable

[@Zen.jz1]

[@im_matty0]

I'd have to get straight As and have a birthday to do that

[@randompersoninthistinyworl3768]

I wanna start acting, I go on an acting class and it is pretty helpful considering I have both my acting class and KZbin (specifically you💘) to help me👑 I find all of your videos/contents helpful, fun, and amusing👌👌😘

[@anacangetawaywiththis3124]

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!

[@amyjane444]

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 ?

[@antoniadusheva7930]

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.

[@jpreadingirl9282]

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💖

[@abby697]

jpreadingirl i would love that to!

[@kikijade1689]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I freaking love your channel!! I needed this as my next step to achieving my dream as an actress!!!

[@abby697]

can you please do a video specific to getting into an agency?

[@jamilgotcher5456]

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.

[@janaalopiyo822]

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

[@kira.lambert]

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 !!

[@agaboo9975]

Thanks for the video! It was really helpful!❤ Just a question: Do I need an agent to audition digitally for example Stranger Things??

[@AudreyHope]

For a big show like that yes

[@t2894]

+Audrey Hope do you know anyone who diden't have an agent when u were an extra on stranger things?

[@AudreyHope]

Yes

[@nayaolivera5534]

Not as an extra

[@AudreyHope]

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.

[@justbitchwhodrankwindex4500]

Ok but she deserves millions of followers

[@liamlotszhong]

You, Millie and noah had inspired me to become an actor, this is why I always watch ur videos to learn more about acting.

[@catherineaudet5349]

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! 💗💗💗

[@Olivia-kx8ll]

do you smile for a headshot or straight face

[@UCZx48kBoTg9O]

Depends on what roles you’re going for

[@whitebreadplease9559]

Commercial Headshots you should smile for, basically everything else is a straight face

[@saraslife786]

Olivia you should try get at least one where you are smiling and one where you make a straight face

[@jazz6704]

Straight face 💜🐳

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.

[@sherryscott3444]

Thank you I have a really big show case in a few weeks and this helped

[@mollzillaaa]

This was very helpful thank you 👍🏼❤️❤️

[@billiejackson6903]

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! ❤️🙏🏼

[@rhaxnys]

Thank you so much for making these videos! Could you do a how to ask you’re parents to become an actor/actress? 💘💘I love your videos they are very helpful!

[@sophiaradix7454]

I think first is not to ask it’s to tell them. If it’s your dream & something you really want then there’s no asking. Asking gives them an opportunity to say no to something that is not a question for you

[@vada997]

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

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.

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

omg...some of the BIGGEST most agent preferred headshot photographers do literally everything you say not to do lolll Look up photogs like: Vanie Poyey & BK Headshots... headshots are about bringing YOU, no matter what that is. Bright colors, hands in the pic, deep dark shadows, all that stuff is 100% cool - just depends on what you're looking to communicate.

[@allys4655]

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

[@GranCraft168]

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.
