About Ray

How Important are good pictures?

Your headshot is your calling card. A weak or unspecific picture is like having a weak and unspecific audition. It's one of the first impressions you make. If you, your agent or manager submit your picture and resume, in essence, that's your first audition. If you get called in, you could think of it as being a call back, because your first audition was when your picture and resume were submitted.

Out of the hundreds of pictures being submitted, yours need to stand out, look like you, and fit the type or market they're looking for. Often talent is hired off the strength of their picture alone. So your pictures are very important.
