I mentioned this in another post that I'm auditioning for Annie. I've been out of musicals for about five years now. They asked me for a headshot by Saturday. BF took some but I have no idea which one would be good to use (if any!). If you were in my shoes, which one would you pick to give them?

Ditto this.
I like #3 and your smile, but I don't think it's close enough to see your face.
Read THIS.
Specifically the paragraph on theatrical headshots.
Good luck!

The lighting seems a bit off - can you take some with natural lighting? Put on a bit of makeup and get someone with Photoshop to touch it up a bit (dark circles under your eyes, the backlighting, any stray hairs, etc.).
I'm really not trying to be harsh, but I've been in casting before and they're downright cruel in how they judge headshots.
[QUOTE]Headshots are also usually re-touched. These just feel like casual pictures - very pretty casual pictures, but not headshots for theater.

This. I love the pictures for facebook or posting here. I kinda felt bad pointing it out . you may want to find someone to do a pro or semi pro photo for you. But if that is not possible, the lighting can be changed by opening a window at about 3pm to 4pm for the best natural light. IF you are not able to find a blank wall with natural light then mirrors can be use to reflect it
You need a flask and hair rollers to get 'in character'.
I kid
But I am going to look up a picture of when I played her in 8th grade. It's hilarious.

<div>Thanks for the feedback everyone. We may have to try reenacting the last photo in another shirt. :)</div><div>
</div><div>Cate- I actually told them that I don't have professional headshots and they said it was fine to give them any picture of myself that I have that's close to looking like a headshot. The place I'm auditioning isn't all that intense. Oh and I don't own any make-up. </div>

You do have lovely skin, and you certainly don't need any day-to-day, it just usually makes for better pictures.

I like #3 as many of the other did.
I'm also the odd one who prefers #2.
