<p>MomofaPrincess, here is what DoctorJohn has to say on the issue of headshots:</p>

<p>I happen to agree with him. The photo given at the audition, whether it’s a headshot or a photograph, should look like the student at the time of the audition. When my D auditioned many years ago, there were two girls in her timeblock on audition day whose photos were not current (one a different length of hair and one a different color), and both were asked to go to another room to have a polaroid taken to be attached to their resume. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that many, if not most, schools do not require a professional headshot for college auditions.</p>
