What is a Comp Card?
Comp card is short for composite card, which is used by actors and models for auditions and self-promotion. The purpose is to show as much variety as possible, so a casting director can envision the subject in different roles.
Comp cards are not just for models. Every actor should have one as well. Generally, a model’s comp card is editorial (like a spread in Vogue Magazine), while an actor’s comp card is lifestyle (talking on a cell phone or hailing a cab). While fashion work is reserved for models, there is plenty of print work for actors. Advertisers are always looking for attractive, everyday people to sell their products.
A comp card is just as important as a professionally taken headshot. It allows you to introduce yourself to industry professionals in a much more diverse way than with a headshot alone. It opens up an entire new avenue to generate income.
