What Makes a Strong 8×10 Headshot

Start with a high-res photo

Use the original file from your photographer, at least 2400 × 3000 pixels, so your 8×10 prints sharp.

Keep your name simple

Use your name exactly as casting should see it. A clean font reads best from across a room.

Look like you today

Choose a current photo that matches how you’ll walk into the audition.

Put your résumé on the back

Print your résumé on the back for $5, so there’s nothing to trim or staple.
