AI Headshots for Actors

Multiple looks — commercial, theatrical, character — for casting submissions, Backstage, Casting Networks, Spotlight, and your agent's roster. Free preview on your own face before you pay anything.

Casting directors scan thousands of headshots per call. You have under two seconds to be remembered. Traditional actor headshot sessions cost $400-$1000 for one look, and you usually need three to four looks (commercial, theatrical, character, lifestyle) to be competitive. Portreya generates multiple looks on the same face, lets you preview each one before paying, and ships in under 60 seconds — so you can update your submissions when a casting director asks for something specific without waiting on your photographer.
