We are constantly in contact with some of the biggest casting directors and agencies in the business to make sure that we deliver the kind of headshots and reels that the industry wants to see.

Normally about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

We'll send you a gallery of the best 100 images, you choose your 3 favourites.

You'll receive your gallery same day, and then the edits can take up to 14 days from your submission.

We're far more interested in you than the characters you'd like to play so please bring a range of outfits that you love and that think represents you authentically. We will help you narrow it down on the day so bring too much. Small logos are easy to remove, big ones are harder. Some patterns work, others don't. No period outfits. Jackets are also a no, but we do love a shacket. Don't be afraid of making bold choices, if you're not sure, bring it a long and we'll help!

Yes, we're magic like that.

In a word yes… but they’re not free. Your complete collection of high-res photos, cropped and colour graded is available for £74.99 or you can purchase them raw for £49.99.

Nah, our studio's too sexy to sit empty.

6 months.

Nope.

Both of our photographers have been published in Vogue... You will.

AktaReels are £374.

Roughly 2 hours, most of the time we will have everything finished in 1 and a half, but we like to have a buffer of 30 minutes!

An AktaReel is a showreel made up of 2 monologues, shot cinematically and edited together.

You get 6 takes of each monologue. But don't worry, we're not Nazi's. If you mess up, we'll go again.

At the moment, it's just monologues... But we're working on it. Watch this space.

Same as headshots, bring too much and we'll help you decide. Nothing distracting. Just touch of character.

Nope.

Edits take up to a month after the session.

TeamAkta is a monthly subscription that gives you access to everything we offer. For £58.99 per month, we will shoot your headshots every year, make a new AktaReel for you every year and give you unlimited free access to our self-tape studio and workshops. You also get access to all of us here at akta. We're on your side so if you ever need anyone in your corner, we're here to help.

Yup. But if you'd rather bring your own, that's okay too!

Because headshots and reels are included, no. But you can pause for up to three months if monies are tight.

£58.99 a month

Up to you...

Pay What You Can.

There's no minimum. We believe you should have to save up for your headshots, but that saving should be proportional to your circumstances.

No they are exactly the same. The team members who make the decision won't be present on the day so no one at your shoot will even know you are a PWYC client.

You are. This opportunity is open to absolutely everyone ❤️
