Advancement & Opportunities

PHOTOGRAPHY 
When you are being submitted for a job your headshot is often one of many the casting director will get to select potential auditionees from.  Make sure your shot stands out and says ‘meet me, get to know me, audition me’. Getting a performing gig starts by getting in the door of a casting directors office. Regardless of how great your performing skills are, if you don't have a great headshot, the casting director may never know you exist. Please help us to help you by ensuring you have vibrant and strong headshots.
