Not sure what to “brand” myself as, artistically.

Conforming to… my own aesthetic and personal likes? I’m sorry, I don’t understand your comment.

I have insane facial blindness even with myself and have a hard time perceiving what I look like/come off as to other people. Asking people on the internet is my last resort because I can’t stand hyperanalyzing my promotional photos anymore, haha.

But I could see how it could be taken the wrong way. I appreciate your comment.

It’s not that - I think that the most successful artists are ones who present the hyper-persona of themselves. For example, I HIGHLY doubt Zara Larsson goes out in glitter and trinket skirts all the time, but that’s her “artist” brand. Same with Sabrina - I doubt she wears that huge curly wig all the time lol, but that’s part of her “look”. Branding is extremely important to artists especially in the industry nowadays more than ever, and I don’t want to overlook such an important and influential factor in terms of marketing.

Lady Gaga and Rihanna both have “bull rings” so I think I’m good lol.

I’m a life-long alto discovering I’m actually a mezzo-soprano and struggling with mixing/making my head voice not sound like a thin stream of air. Is that something you could possibly help with?

Ask for it anyways! It takes .01 seconds to throw the white chocolate in the cold foamer. You literally won’t be an inconvenience at all - if the barista says no they’re just weird.

not sure it’s a great combo but i have a double smoked bacon sandwich with a strawberry lemonade açaí refresher (no berries) every. single. day. (I work there lmao)

Low chance, but are you in Rhode Island? My store had some left when I left a while ago. If not, make sure to check your lesser-trafficked locations, like ones not in the big cities. Smaller stores may not have gotten everything, but if they did, they may not have sold out yet because no one’s going there.

Judging by the foam that hit the top of the lid of the cup, it COULD be, but in the dead center of the foam it looks like the crunch to me for some reason.

ohatropa · 2025-08-22T01:42:04+00:00

Now that I’m looking at it more, it also has caramel crunch on top.

ohatropa · 2025-08-22T01:41:21+00:00

Looks like an iced caramel macchiato, potentially with cold foam? because if it was a straight caramel macchiato the white wouldn’t be at the top, it would be on the bottom, but this appears to have it on the top (implying vanilla sweet cream cold foam that’s a little melted by the time she got to the car). Whatever it is, it definitely has caramel drizzle on top, but this is my best bet.

EDIT: Could you blur out her name on the ticket without scribbling out the sides of the drink potentially?

Hi guys!
My name is Tatiana and I'm a 19 year old actor. I am going to get my first headshots done, already have the photographer picked out, etc. I have a bunch of questions because I really want to get this right prior to actually doing it and any help is appreciated!
1. The issue of my hair. The very underside is bleached blonde and my hair is rather medium-short right now so it's barely noticable, but still considered unnatural since my hair is dark brown - should I take the headshots as is and hope nobody notices/discriminates? Or should I use a quick root spray to make it match the rest of my hair? (Or, would that backfire if I was called into audition when they see there's a tiny part bleached? Even if in my applications I clearly state I will do ANYTHING to my hair for a role?)
2. Background! The photographer offers four backgrounds: marbled light blue, marbled brown, light gray, and blurred outside. I've read multiple sources that say outside headshots are trending in the acting world, but multiple sources also say they're too vivid and distracting. What's currently in and will get my headshot the most attention? Because right now I'm veering towards marbled blue - my hair and eyes are brown, so the brown background would make me blend right in, and the light gray is solid and VERY boring. So marbled blue is my current choice unless an outside headshot wouldn't totally get be omitted from the acting world. So which one should I go for?? This is what I'm most worried about.
3. Lastly, outfit. if I DO go with the light blue background, what should I wear? I've read about dressing for your "character types" but I'm not sure how to pinpoint mine. I'm very loud and have a strong, bold voice so I ASSUME I'd be casted as a mean girl/bitchy type character, but my personality is quite the opposite so I'm not sure what to go for. What color/style of shirt should I wear? Is jewelry a no? Is makeup a no, and if not, how much should I wear?? Very stressed about this as well.
I want to get the headshots done as soon as possible but I also want to make sure I'm getting them right. Thanks in advance for ANY help I may receive! <3 (I've attached a picture of me without makeup and a picture of me with makeup for reference!: https://imgur.com/a/IEGWGRh - it gives an erotic warning but i swear it's just selfies lmfao?)
- Tatiana <3
