In this episode of The Actor's Career Compass, host Martin Bentsen explores the controversial topic of using AI-generated headshots for acting careers. He begins by acknowledging the incredible advancements in AI technology, which now allow for the creation of realistic photos and videos from text inputs. These tools include headshot generators that produce hundreds of professional-looking photos from a few selfies, potentially saving actors a significant amount of money.However, Martin emphasizes the potential downsides of using AI headshots in the industry. First, he points out the importance of accuracy; AI-generated photos often look too perfect and might not represent the actor accurately. This can lead to disappointment and mistrust from casting directors who expect the actor to look the same as their headshot. Additionally, there are legal concerns, as many AI services have terms allowing them to use the generated images for their own purposes, possibly without compensation or consent. Lastly, he warns about the negative impact on an actor's reputation. With the industry already wary of AI, using such headshots might be seen as not supporting the human workforce, potentially leading to blacklisting by unions and casting offices.Martin concludes by advising actors to avoid AI-generated headshots if possible. Instead, he suggests having a friend take a natural photo until they can afford professional headshots, thus minimizing risks and maintaining a better relationship with industry professionals.For more guidance, contact Martin at martin@cityheadshots.com or visit his website at martinbentsen.com.

In this episode of The Actor's Career Compass, host Martin Bentsen tackles the common challenge actors face when they feel too busy to submit themselves for roles. Martin emphasizes the importance of consistently submitting yourself to maintain and build your acting career. He shares that failing to do so can lead to decreased self-confidence and fewer bookings over time. Martin advises aiming for at least 5-10 submissions per week to significantly increase audition and booking opportunities.To help actors manage their time better, Martin introduces several strategies. First, he suggests getting an agent or manager if you have enough experience and credits. Secondly, he outlines the ADD process: Automate, Delegate, and Delete. Automation involves creating template emails and scheduling regular submission times. Delegation means hiring a Virtual Assistant to handle submissions, which can be cost-effective and save valuable time. Lastly, deletion focuses on prioritizing quality over quantity in submissions, ensuring you invest time in projects that truly matter for your career.Martin concludes by reminding listeners that poor submission results often stem from inadequate materials like weak headshots, clips, or submission notes. He stresses the importance of having compelling materials to improve the chances of getting called back for auditions. Mastering these basics can make a significant difference in an actor's career progression.For more insights, contact Martin at martin@cityheadshots.com or visit his website at martinbentsen.com.
