For the most part, resolution ends up being the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if your headshots aren't coming up as clear as you'd like them, take these steps to clean them up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Start with the original full size copies of any photos that you have. The larger and clearer the starting file, the better quality photos you'll end up with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Set your photo resolution to 72dpi. This is so when uploading your photos, they don't become compressed and blurry. Most print images are set to around 300dpi, so when they upload to our system, they shrink down to about 25% of the original photo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally use photoshop to do this (&lt;em&gt;image menu&lt;/em&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;em&gt;image size option&lt;/em&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;em&gt;resolution&lt;/em&gt;). Trail software is available on the Adobe website (&lt;a href="http://www.adobe.com/downloads/"&gt;http://www.adobe.com/downloads/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Crop your images. If you have extra long or wide images, it's possible to crop yourself right out of a photo. There are a few easy to use websites that let you upload and edit files for free. Google has one of my favorite programs (&lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/"&gt;http://picasa.google.com/&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="/pub/blog/gfx_cropimage.gif" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;4) Finally, if nothing seems to work... you can send us an email to &lt;a href="mailto:support@gotcast.com"&gt;support@gotcast.com&lt;/a&gt;, and we can tweak the photos for you and try to upload them from our office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;~moodley&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:jmoodley@gotcast.com"&gt;jmoodley@gotcast.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.gotcast.com/blog/2008/6/6/if-your-pictures-are-blurry/10059</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:13:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comments and Unlimited Media</title><description>We've had a really exciting week at GotCast.com! We've just released new features to the website that includes member comments and the ability to upload unlimited photos and videos to your profile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comments are a great way to thank people that have voted for you, as well as a way to introduce yourself to other members on the site.

Thanks to Gotcast.com, that next BIG opportunity just became that much closer to reality. So, if there were a way to get an edge over all the other millions of people competing for the same cast, would you pursue it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 words: DEMO REEL &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s nothing more effective than a great demo reel that is going to give the “viewer” a taste of what you’re made of. The importance of having a reel is that it serves as a TOTAL reflection of what you’re capable of. Having all of your material put together into a creative presentation can give the “viewer” a feeling that can’t be had by watching individual rough clips. You no longer need to post 10 individual show clips of yourself on Gotcast, YouTube, Myspace, etc… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn’t matter where you live or how much “on-air” work you’ve done, YOU CAN put together a demo reel! Just check out &lt;a href="http://www.broseproductions.com/"&gt;www.broseproductions.com&lt;/a&gt; and view sample reels of hosts who are landing the next BIG job. Or just e-mail Brian at &lt;a href="mailto:broseproductions@gmail.com"&gt;broseproductions@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; to find out more info. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can get an edge; you just have to take the first step! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian Rose / &lt;em&gt;Founder - BRose Productions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://www.gotcast.com/blog/2008/5/5/jump-over-the-edge/10043</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 May 2008 13:38:37 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
