NEED THE BEST HEADSHOTS IN HOUSTON?

Want to book more acting jobs? The single most important marketing tool you have as an actor is your headshot. It’s the first thing a casting director sees, and you have about a second to catch their attention.

Everyone has a camera these days and can take good pictures, but a great headshot that will get you work is probably not something your friend or your neighbor can shoot. Especially in their backyard, or in a field next to a tree.

A great headshot captures your personality, is expressive, intriguing, and ultimately makes a casting director want to meet you.

It takes someone who knows the business, and knows what casting directors, directors and producers want.

Having been both in front of and behind the camera for over 20 years, I have a great deal of experience in what works and what doesn’t in the entertainment industry.

I’ve starred on ABC, CBS, VH1, The WB, and in countless commercials – produced and directed several independent films – and I shoot commercials, music videos, and informercials for corporate clients on a regular basis.

When you are ready to take your career to the next level, contact my studio for photography, audition taping and coaching, or promotional video.

Break a leg!

HOW TO GET DISCOVERED

Want to launch your acting career? Want to get your big break and become an overnight sensation with millions of fans? Then keep reading…

The quickest way to get work as an actor is, well, to get work as an actor. Sounds like a catch 22, but… once you start working, and if you do a great job, you will most likely be recommended for other work.

Directors talk to other directors.

Really.

They do.

So, when you come on set with that diva attitude… everyone one else in town is going to hear about it. But when you come to set prepared, rock out your scene, and bring something unique to the role – directors will praise you. And you may just start to see offers come in.

You will have to be very pro-active about your career. Honestly, your agent isn’t going to do anything to jumpstart your career. Don’t sit back and wait for it to happen. Get out there, mix, mingle, and submit yourself for roles… and NEVER, EVER do what this one actress did…

What did she do that was so heinous?

She turned down an audition. Not just a cattle call, mind you… but a personal request from the director to audition. Her reasoning, you ask?

She doesn’t do indie film work.

Meryl Streep doesn’t do indie work, she doesn’t have to… but just because you booked a local commercial once doesn’t put you in the same league.

Never pass up a chance to let a director see your work.

Sure, there are a lot of idiots with a camera out there claiming to be filmmakers. So, do your research. That’s what IMDB is for. But when a director with established credits asks you to read… probably a good idea to do it.

Steven Spielberg is probably not going to be knocking down your door when you are just starting out, and indie films have launched many a career. Plus, you may just burn a bridge with the next Spielberg by turning him down.
