Built for the places Actor photos actually get used.
Each look in this pack is tuned for the surfaces below.
Use case
The 8x10 and résumé
At many in-person auditions you hand over a printed 8x10 with your résumé attached or printed on the back. Trim the résumé to the photo size.
Use case
Musical theatre calls
Musical directors look for a warm, open face that suggests you can sell a song. The Soft Window look gives you a gentler option alongside Theatrical.
Use case
Programs and playbills
Once cast, your headshot runs next to your bio in the program. A consistent, plain-background photo matches the rest of the company.
Use case
Lobby boards
Many theatres pin cast headshots in the lobby for opening night. A natural, recent photo helps audiences match you to your role.
Why it works
Open the Actor pack on the Theatrical look: even light, plain mid-tone backdrop, and simple solid-colour clothing.
Use a selfie that shows your natural energy, since stage directors want to see personality that carries to the back row.
Download in full resolution so the image holds up when you print it at 8x10 for in-person auditions.

Frequently asked about theatre headshots
How is a theatre headshot different from a screen headshot?
Stage headshots tend to show more energy and range, and they are often printed. Screen and commercial casting runs online through casting sites, which our actor headshots page covers.
Can I print these at 8x10?
Use the full-resolution download, not the 768px watermarked preview. The $19 Headshot Pack unlocks full resolution for every preview you made.
Will a director mind that it is AI-generated?
Some will. Your headshot must look like you at the audition, and some theatres prefer photos from a real session. If you are unsure, ask the stage manager or your teacher.
