This could work, but I think it is too far away.

You have a great character-type look, but these are not headshots.

Hi Kyoske

My first thought: Looking up to the camera like that isn't cute or dramatic. It takes away all your power.

My second: Your face is lost in the frame. Electronic submission means casting will be looking at a thumbnail.

Third: Without seeing you in the flesh, it would be very difficult to judge your picture, as a headshot. A headshot should look like you. We would be guessing.

Overall, More face! More eyes!

Just my opinion, and what do I know, I am an actor. I'm sure some of the professional photographers here will be able to give you an expert opinion.

Good Luck
Jim

NeTonya hit it all on the head. You seem to have some great energy and connect well with the camera, but these shots are so technically deficient they're getting in the way. The best headshots close the distance between you, your personality, and the viewer.

You have a great personality, but submitting these shots won't help. They lack professionalism, and CD's, agents, and directors (unfortunately) will hold that against you.

Good luck.
