EP 026: BONUSODE - "Online Acting Profiles" • The Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer
Actors are a rare breed of animal. Most people hate to work and have too much of it. We love to work, but sometimes have a hard time finding it. Online profiles are an actor's calling card, their storefront where they market and sell their only product…. Today and go over their own online profiles together. We talk about what to include, what to exclude, uploading video and audio-clips and showreels, choosing the right photos, updating all your credits and keeping your profile fresh. All of which play a part in staying attractive, getting the attention of casting directors and increasing the opportunities you need to ultimately get you paid acting jobs. So, if it’s time to put your own profile online or you’re just looking to tune-up your current profile… have a listen. ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience.
