I would love your opinions on this new headshot as well as what first impressions it gives you regarding how you would cast me.

Here is a link:

I would really like your opinion on the headshot with the pink tank top.

Thanks!

It's okay I mean its not fabulous. Its a bit distracting because your head is tilted but its alright.

I don't like the head tilt at all in the 2 pics... and the one of your face is way too close up. No teeth in the smiles? You've gotta show those pearly whites!!! You're a very cute girl, use that to your advantage. You can do one "All American" type shot, one "sexy" shot (wispy curls), and one "athletic" type shot. You have a look that can pull off all three easily!

I guess these would be "ok" for Actors Access, but I would get some professional ones done for submitting to agents, etc. If you can't afford professional shots, have someone do some good digital ones. Look at some websites of headshot photographers and it will give you an idea of what a headshot should look like.

It's a good shot. I don't think that your head being tilted is distracting.

I see you as being around 30. I see you as being a young mom, wife. I see you as one of the ladies on SEX IN THE CITY.

My favorite of the 3 is the one in the pink tank, but I definitely don't think it shows you off as it should. Not sure if it's the head tilt or the fact that I see so much pink tank. It doesn't focus on your face, which is what shows casting directors your personality. You want a headshot that shows something in your smile or behind your eyes. You want a casting director to wonder, "What's she thinking?" If you get a shot that says that, it will make them want to meet you to find out.
