- 1). Choose the style of headshot that you believe conveys the best information about you. Headshots are traditionally just of the head and shoulders, but three-quarter shots are becoming acceptable if there is something about your torso you would like to show in the photo.
- 2). Wear clothes that might be used in the roles you will be selecting. For soap opera or theater roles, a suit and tie is best for men and a tailored suit is best for women. Choose casual or sporty attire for other roles.
- 3). Find a location with soft lighting. The location can be inside or outside as long as the light is not harsh. Harsh lighting causes dark shadows and can distort your face.
- 4). Keep a neutral expression on your face. However, if after you review the photos, the best photo is of your showing some emotion (like laughing), use it. Don't use any props; nothing should detract from your face.
- 5). Take multiple photos of your face with a neutral background. You should sit or stand in such a way that you are comfortable and relaxed.
