Headshot and CV? (:?

Question

Hey guys.

Im 15 and go to a drama class after school.I love the theatrical business, and im not bothered about fame.I just want to know when i am older i will have a job i will enjoy (:

I want to sort out a CV. But everyone on here says you need a headshot to put "on" your CV.Is that right?

And can i just go to one of those photo booths and take one like on passports?

x*x thanks (:

Answer 1

You need a professional headshot.  They can range from $75 to $300, so do some research.  You also might check with school photography departments to see if someone will do a session with you for the practice.  

You don't have to put the headshot "on" your resume, although some people do print their resume on the back.  It's OK to have them be separate documents, and actually a better idea if you're planning to update the headshot from time to time.

Answer 2

THEY ARE CORRECT. MY MOTHER IS A CASTING DIRECTOR FOR AN UPCOMING MOVIE (WHICH I'M NOT ALLOWED TO TELL)...BUT ANYWAYS SHE ONLY ALLOWS PROFESSIONAL HEAD SHOTS, BUT HONESTLY IF YOU HAVE A GOOD DIGITAL CAMERA YOU COULD DO IT YOURSELF JUST MAKE IT LOOK PROFESSIONAL.
