Answer 1

This is what i copied and pasted from another question so i hope no one get mad at me:

Hii there! :) Great question...

An acting portfolio is your training, past theatre, film, dance, and commercial experience, your name, height, weight, hair color, eye color, contact, special skills and hobbies and sometimes people have a little picture on it. You need a headshot and resume to start building your acting portfolio.

-DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ELSE ON YOUR RESUME, IT'S UNPROFESSIONAL-

Building your portfolio- getting experience, and getting roles that you can list on your resume. It also means getting the training you need and then listing it on your resume as well.

Headshot- The professional/non-professional picture of your chest and up. This si so that when you go to an audition they remember what you look like and this will also help determine if you get the role or not...very important.

How do I get a headshot?- A professional headshot is the key thing here. Grab your yellow pages and look for photography. Call different places and ask if they do acting headshots, and if so how much will they cost. Look for the ones 100-200$ anything else is horrible quality or a rip-off!! If you don't have the money for a professional photographer then rent a professional camera and get your mom or friend to take it. Just find a nice environment with great lighting to take it. If you don't have enough money to rent a camera then just use a good quality one you have.
