My skin tone for my headshot?

My skin got darker because of the sun. But should I get a headshot with my darker skin or my normal skin color? Because I don't want the talent agent meeting me expecting that I have really dark skin.

Your normal skin tone. A headshot is used to know what the person will look like and to decide if you are what they are looking for (and to remember you after you meet). If you come in the audition or meeting looking different than you normally do, they one, won't recognize you and two, will think you are fake.





Stay away from "glamour" shots, or photos that are just unnatural for you. Your skin tone, hair, clothes, and makeup should look like you look natural and as you usually do. Don't be too loud or go overboard.

Azz you are!
Reply:definitly give them your normal skin color because if they decide to come and let you audition they will be dissapointed and rather mad to the fact that you are not who you are in the picture or who you say you are
Reply:Ok I know I am not an actor, but here is what I have learned from working with actors for way to long now.





Your headshot should look like you. It is pretty cut and dry. If people look at the photo and they do not see "you" then it is a waste of time and missed chances for you. Most casting directors will look through too many headshots to count before they even look at the back for credits or production credits, and if your picture is not what they are looking for you just lost a chance for work, and worse if they call you in they will be mad.





I always say to people if you are serious about this crazy world on entertainment then you should go to people that know about it. Find a photographer that does headshots and use him. They will have pricing that includes back printing, so you can put that info that I just talked about, on the photo and they will be in bulk. If you do not know where to find one, or if you have questions about if he or she is good, then find a script store in your area and stop by and ask some questions.
