When they ask you to bring 2 headshots.. Is it two of the same of different photos?

[man1d2tran]

Well, it has been in my experience that 2 headshots mean two of the same. But usually when they want two, I have seen it to be independent films or student projects. All fine and dandy for reels, but quite unusual for casting on a larger scale. These days electronic casting is the way to go. You are assigned a "Casting Frontier" ID number and it sticks with you for electronic castings.

If you should decide to bring 2 different ones, you might as well bring 2 of each as they will probably ask..

[man1d2tran]

...ask for them. They may not know what they want so they will probably want both. But as you probably already well know, it is a waste as most headshots are trashed right after the principle actors are cast. What a shame. And very expensive. My headshots after lithograph printing costs and the photographer's fee run about a buck a piece. I printed 500 lithographs and adding in the fees for the shoot and the prints or index cards or any other need, you can see why you should make the choice.

[man1d2tran]

You can also ask as well if you really want to do everything you can to get the gig. But sometimes an overeager actor can be a turnoff, working against you. There's a disconnect actors have to have. To seem like they can care less for a job, and then audition well enough for them to want you back. Even though you really, really, REALLY want the job. =)

how do you know all this?

[man1d2tran]

Experience. Living it and learning along the way.

[SakurabaSan]

you;re quite the lively fuck, in a good way. One love dude.

[coolitababy]

Why do you keep looking up into the far corner of the room...what's up there?

[man1d2tran]

Hahaha. I keep looking to upper camera right because there is my computer screen and I have notes I'm using to prompt myself from.

[coolitababy]

Well, you need to sort that out because it's very disconcerting to watch.

[man1d2tran]

My apologies. I have wandering eyes. But I've moved now so there isn't that camera angle available anymore. Thanks for taking the time to let me know so I can make my videos better.

It's just to separate the good stuff on ACTORDAVIDTRAN and vlogging and video responses on man1d2tran.

[man1d2tran]

LisaNova had the right connection to put her in great videos and those connections probably got her work on MadTv as well.
