Don't start off with "ugh"! :-)

The lighting is a little off in most of these, but they're better than normal snapshots taken with a cheap little camera, so you could have done worse.

I think you could get 8 touched up and use it until you get new shots...you definitely connect best to the camera in that one.

They're not very good.

#8 is NOT a good commercial choice either. You should be showing teeth for commercial.

Dennis is right that you are connecting in 8 (and 10, although the angle is awkward), but I really don't think these headshots are going to help you in any way. If you need the shot for a single purpose for a play you are already cast in (e.g. for the program), then one of these would be fine. But, if you are going to go to the expense of making copies and sending out a mass mailing, I think you might be in for a disappointment. With most of your competition submitting professional shots, your photo will be viewed as amateur and you may not be given the attention that you deserve.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm just getting some shots for student films in my school for now.
