new headshots
...So I said to myself:
"Self, you are laboring under the impression that:
1. you will lose 20-30 pounds in the next 2 weeks or even months
2. your old headshot, while good, accurately represents your svelte manly physique -- when you had more hair
3. your old headshot is getting you lots of work these days."
So a change was in order. Therefore, I took some money that I got from a prior acting gig and set off for a very well-repected local photographer to get some new headshots done. And I ended up with what I think are some real winners here -- let's see if these will get me more work:
Headshot 1 (general all-round auditions)
Headshot 2 (corporate, used for getting industrials)
Business Card
(Mammamer immediately seized on the bedroom eyes here and somewhat disconcertingly made it her tiled desktop image on her laptop. ROWR!)
Anyhoo, as long as we're still talking about me me me here -- when I sent these off to the printer, I had them perform the actor's cheap plastic surgery of brightening my smile slightly with some PhotoShop filter or another. Retouching is usually some sort of extra charge, but I got this email reply:
"No charge for the teehts"
That's so good I may consider putting "No charge for the teats" on my business card. In fact, I may change this very site's tagline from "disturbing obsessions, surly petulance and drunken ranting, infrequently updated" (which was a little wordy and long, anyway) to "No charge for the teats."
