The Castable Types Resume Guidebook
“your fresh approach to my resume has been a game changer.”

Resumes are often the first impression you make as an actor, your initial audition. What does your resume say about you? Does it identify your Castable Types®, market your talent as well as your accomplishments? Does it have design elements that catch the eye?

The Castable Types Headshot Package
“every casting office that sees my new headshots loves them. I can’t thank you enough. it’s made such a big difference for me”
TEAH LOWE, SAG-AFTRA
Headshots are your most important marketing tool. They speak for you before you ever read a line or even say hello. They’re the visual representation of your talent left in an agent or casting directors hand. What does your headshot say about you? Does it radiate your talent and unique Castable Types®?
I offer a truly special headshot package, guaranteed to capture your Castable Types® so your talent gets the attention it deserves from agents and casting directors.
Most photographers place every actor into the same set of predictable poses, stereotyped by gender and age, with results that show off their skills instead of yours.
A CASTABLE TYPES PHOTO shoot is VERY different.
I take an actor-focused approach, considering each client individually and treating every shoot like a new production. Your experience starts at an in-depth consultation where we’ll discuss how I will define and shoot your Castable Types® as your photographer and on-set acting coach. I’ll walk you through professional techniques that will bring these to life physically and emotionally. You’ll take home a detailed plan for preparing your look and energy plus the security of knowing you will have an on-set acting coach to keep you on point and a skilled photographer who will capture your talent on camera with originality and style.
Be amazed by the difference in quality, variety and impact your headshots will have when taken by a professional who knows your work, understands your physical life and has refined your look and image. You can have a fun, relaxed photo shoot with great results. Two hour shoot time, 40 to 50 high resolution digital color images on disc or cloud transfer. Please note that styling is not included. I will happily connect you with phenomenal and affordable stylists (whom you will pay separately) or you can bring one of your own choosing.

The Castable Types Headshot & Comp Card Package
Casting Directors need believable Real People of all ages, shapes and sizes to appear in print and on-camera advertising. Submitting a single headshot locks you in to one look and type, limiting your chances of booking a breakthrough job in commercials.
Actors Comp Cards are highly effective tools for increasing the odds of booking commercial work and making a powerful impression with agents and managers. Comp Cards give you a visual way to showcase your range of Castable Types® in a 5 x 8 inch format.
If you’re seeking commercial representation, breaking into the industry, transitioning to a new age range or looking for an easy way to rev up your acting career, Comp Cards will help you achieve that goal. Open your acting career up to more markets, more ways to earn income and greater visibility. Picture yourself booking!
My Headshot/Comp Card package provides you with something special: an experienced, supportive on-set coach and photographer, guiding you through the crucial preparation process and the actual shoot. As with my standard headshot package, the process starts with an in-depth consultation using the Castable Types® approach to define your individual talent, range of looks, physical and emotional life for the target markets you want to pursue.
Three hour shoot time, unlimited looks/clothing changes, 50 to 75 high resolution digital color images in a zip or cloud transfer. Please note that styling is not included. I will happily connect you with phenomenal and affordable stylists (whom you will pay separately) or you can bring one of your own choosing.
Headshots & Comp Card Package....$877
A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve shoot date with the balance due prior to shoot.
