Headshots, Contests, & Promoting Your Career
So what can we learn from a contest like this? Is there anything to take away from it all? I think so!
None of us exists in a vacuum… at a certain point, we all need support. And as actors, support (and a healthy amount of self promotion) is truly one of the biggest factors in pushing your career forward.
Look for a post later this week reflecting on the contest, what I learned as a result, and how you can turn these results into a tool for promoting your acting career.
In the meantime, use this opportunity to wish Tahir and Calvin a warm congratulations, and to all of our finalists who are also pursuing their dreams.
As a thank you to everyone who took part in the contest, any finalist who books a NYC Headshot session before 2010 will receive $50 off a 3-Look session or $75 off a 5-Look session.
And for the remainder of November, anyone who books a headshot session and mentions the contest receives an extra Hi-Res, retouched image with their session package.
