I don't know what they ask for film auditions. 3/4 shot seem to be the thing now... but a lot of people do the typical shoulders and up. I would also try to get a pic of you alone.
If you take a pic, for the love of God don't face the camera directly with your entire body (shoulders facing the camera), it will look like a mug shot. Try to have your body slightly angled and then face the camera.

3/4 is always a fun idea.
Wear something without loud patterns, something that has a flattering neckline and will not detract from your face (do not wear a turtleneck, generally). Wear something that makes you feel comfortable. I used off-white and light blue in my shots... I wouldn't suggest pure white. Contrast is important. If it's a B&W shot, make sure you don't use a black background because your hair will disappear.

Hooker boots and matching makeup. That way they'll know you're willing to take one for the team on the casting couch.

What does 3/4 entail? Mid-thigh up? Should I make it B&W instead of color? Nik, can you send me that headshot you used to have as your avatar?

That silence worries me---Oh, Kitz! Close your legs and get OFF that couch!
Okay, I'm going to go hack out a resume now. This is so uncharacteristic of me. If my college friends ever found out, they'd think I jumped the couch.

Try to look as much like you 'really' lood as possible. Casting doesn't want to be surprised when you walk in. (but in your case, they may want to be,). It's never a good idea to load up on the makeup-it shows in a headshot. The trend has shifted to 3/4 shots and now back to head and shoulders only. It usually doesn't matter much, but in your case you may not want them to see you're a fat fat fatty.

So I take it I shouldn't lie too much about my weight? It's not like there's a big difference between 250 and 260 lbs anyway, right?

Okay, so it's closer to 280. And I'm taking kilograms. Deal with it.
How much detail should my resume have? My only film/acting experience is high school plays & drama class, extra work and locations. Isn't high school acting a bit of a stretch? But it's really the only acting (non-extra) work I've had.

In the beginning, we all pad our resumes. Include the high school stuff but you could always change the high school name to a regional theatre name. if you have to mention extra work, do not call it that. Extra work is not to be included on a resume (in fact, actors should never admit to doing it). Give your character a name and say it was "featured" or something like that.

What, like "Concert-Goer #268" and "Dead Girl #5"? 
Won't they be pretty vigilant in checking this stuff up? Vancouver's theatre community is pretty small, and so is it's film industry (well, the film industry isn't small, but there's a small group of people who get a lot of work). I don't need to provide my agency if I haven't been with them for, like, 5 years, right?

TIFF!
I really have no advice because I haven't a clue about acting and auditioning and resumes, but I just want to say that I'm so happy you're going for this! Don't underestimate yourself and go into it with confidence. I say if you're looking for things to fill up your resume, put whatever acting experience you have, even if that means high school stuff.

No, Tiff, not concert goer 2886! More like uh, Jane, or some other name. They do not check. You can say you were in a film made to be shown on cable. You're waiting to find out when.

Thanks, Claire! I normally have so much disdain for people who start those ubiquitous, "Audition Help!", "Headshot Help!", "Monologue Help!" threads - I don't want to become one of those people!
LOL, Jane. A film made to be shown on cable. "Yes, I had one principle role. It's supposed to be airing on Skinemax next weekend. Yup, that's the one."

This is really entertaining.
But you'll be surprised with what happens... atleast I got interesting results from the few auditions I've been at for hecks. Then again they were commercials, and filling out all the paperwork that my parent/guardian was supposed to, well... you'd be surprised.
From what I recall headshot wise, most people had shoulder up ones. (But what do I know, I don't audition on a regular basis.)
Wait, are you trying to do more than just extra work for this film, Tiff?

Ideally I wouldn't be doing extra work, although frankly, depending on the hours, it pays better than production assisting does, and it's probably the easiest damn job on this green earth. So I'd be open to it, but my goal is to score a principle part or a stand-in/photo-double gig. Which will honestly mean losing about 15-20 pounds. And this isn't me fishing for compliments over my fat-fat-fattiness. I ain't Lucy Liu, and that's the body-type they're looking for in Asian women. It's a fact of life. Which means, alas, my Atkins trial will have to start today instead of March 1 like I'd intended.

Well, that's the body type they seem to want for just about anyone principle-wise, isn't it, Tiff? In which case, probably just about everyone on this thread could stand to lose 10-20+ pounds!
