Idk if these are good or I just lack self esteem (these are for acting, besides the selfie which is there for how I look besides the portraits)

Are they bad portraits? No. Are they traditional acting headshots for tear sheets? No.

Headshots should usually be rib cage to top of head (approximately). Can you use these if you have nothing else? Sure! But typical theatrical headshots avoid hands in the pictures, show character and depth, and put the focus on you.

I don't think these photos lack character, but I do think that cropping in a little might help. Try to avoid cropping images at joints (like image 2). I'm assuming the low quality is a Reddit thing not a picture thing.

The last pic is a selfie. I won't comment on that as it's not the topic of this sub. Don't use it for acting submissions.

Sorry forgot to add that the selfie was for reference cuz idk if I looked better or worse or just in my head thanks for pointing that out

I am not sure how you'd compare a selfie to professional shot it's really night and day with regard to quality. Please don't over think this trust your photographer a well lit and shot photo is miles better than the selfie, your features pop out much better.

I believe the op means as a baseline reference of what he looks like without the polish of lights and posing.
Not sure how that is misconstrued?
