<p>I agree that it’s not necessary to spend a lot of money on professional headshots just for college auditions. It’s an unnecessary added expense at a time when you’re already spending a lot of money! My D used a photo that we had taken by a local photographer, quite inexpensively. It was perfectly fine. She is now going into junior year at Syracuse, and many of her fellow students STILL don’t have professional shots. </p>
<p>Keep in mind – it’s not your picture and resume that will get you into the school of your choice. The most gorgeous picture and impressive resume won’t make any difference if your audition isn’t good. Better to spend the money on voice, acting, and dance coaching.</p>
