Why It’s Important to Find Your Actor ‘Type’
Knowing your ‘type’ as an actor is essential for your branding. It’s how casting directors and other talent buyers see you.

But if you’re just starting to build your portfolio and want to know how to tackle your first round of headshots, then these AI type-finding tools can help get you going in the right direction.
