Actor Headshots and Resumes
You should have two good color headshots (not "retouched", unless only to clean up a loose hair, etc), one "serious" and one "smiling". But it doesn't hurt to have 3-4 "looks". Try to portray the best possible image of your "brand". In other words, the type of personality and look that you would best portray. Sometimes it is best to ask several other people who know you, like teachers, friends, classmates, etc. Sometimes beginning actors do not see themselves as portraying the "type" that they really should be.
The resume MUST be only one page so that it can be attached back-to-back on the photo. A theatrical resume should ONLY contain acting specific information. No other accomplishments or extracurricular activities should be listed. Also, credits should be listed in chronological order starting with the most recent credits. Specific dates are not listed. If there is not enough room, then a line should be added "additional credits available upon request".
