Hey everyone!
I'm getting some new headshots next week, and I'm trying to figure out where to get the reproductions done and what size to make them. I'm noticing that all the online places that cater to LA actors are doing them in 8X10. I always had 8.5X11 like a regular piece of paper until this last time when I got them done in 8X10 because someone told me that was the standard. Well, the reproduction place didn't tell me that I wouldn't be able to print on the back of them unless I had a las…

After we launched the new site, I was hopeful that this medium would generate more interest and build the community and give more value to the organization. CASA serves to connect people and serves that purpose very well. However, I've become a bit concerned about the CASA's image and service. The word that comes to my mind when I think of CASA, sorry to say, is "amateur".
