Why Your Headshot Session Is Just Like a Meisner Exercise


The Maggie Flanigan Studio trains serious actors in the craft and business of professional acting. In this video Michael Cinquino discusses the biggest mistake that many actors make during their headshot sessions. For more information about the business classes and professional actor training that the studio provides, contact the studio directly by calling 917-789-1599. So many actors have horrible headshots. Casting directors look at thousands of photos a week. Getting them to pause on yours takes a real understanding of how to manage your shoot. The biggest mistake you can make while getting your headshots is the same one made by any untrained actor, thinking any of it has something to do with you. It doesn’t. None of it does. Understanding that the other person is more important than you is a fundamental that any serious Meisner training program should instill in you. This needs to translate to your photo shoot. As someone that’s been through the Meisner training myself and have had the opportunity to professionally photograph hundreds of actors, I can tell you that what you are taught in any first rate Meisner training program will serve you well in your headshot session. You just have to know how it translates. Michael is a graduate of Rutgers MFA acting program and has been professional headshot photographer in NYC for over 8 years. In this interview Michael Cinquino discusses the biggest mistake that many actors make during their headshot sessions. http://flic.kr/p/SBUUn4
