Before you ever get called in for an Audition, someone (i.e. - Casting Director, Producer, Director, etc.) will have looked at a Headshot (or other promo image like a Character Photo, Zed/Comp Card, Promo Photo, etc.), viewed/listened to a Demo Reel, or both in order to decide whether or not they were bringing you in.
Logging and tracking which Materials successfully land you Auditions will allow you over time to see which onesare working for you and which one's aren't.
You may then ask questions like:
"Should I continue submitting this 'Hip Cool Guy' headshot for projects that really hasn't been getting me auditions? Or, should I instead shoot new pictures and try to achieve a look that will get Casting Directors to notice me and bring me in for that type of character?"
Then make better informed decisions like:
"The most recent Demo Reel I had done has been very successful! 12 Auditions have come from it since I started submitting a couple of weeks ago! I will not change anything on it right now - it's working for me!"

As a performer you may have a variety of Headshots (or other Promo Image) you use to promote yourself. But which ones work to get you in the door and which ones don't? Always keep track of which Headshot (or other Promo Image) was submitted!

If you are unsurewhich Headshot was submitted then wait until you get to the Audition to see which picture the Casting Director has in front of them. If you were submitted through an Online Service then select the Headshot that is your “Primary Image” on that service.
There are two ways in the Audition Form to select the Headshot that successfully got you the Audition:
1)'Headshot' Drop Down Menu
2) 'Headshot' Picker

Learn more about everything the Headshot Library is capable of and lots of tips and hints by reading the 'Essentials Log: Headshot Library' chapter in this User Manual.
If a Reel was submitted or requested make sure to select "Yes" from the drop down menu. Logging if a Reel was submitted gives you a chance to engage in small talk at your Audition (or Follow-Up) to get feedback and ensure that it was reviewed.
