Equity Members Kevin Urban & Jodie Bentley

The age of Social Networking has come upon us and as Actors and Stage Managers we must embrace it. Whether we like it or not Social Networking is here to stay. Casting Directors are using it to cast. Producers are using it when finalizing casting. Believe it or not they'd like to know if you're googleable…and how many seats you can fill.

Social Networking is the answer to getting your name as an Actor and Stage Manager out there without spending money. But how do we incorporate social networking and use it to book work?

During this two hour seminar, you'll understand the importance of branding and how you can use social networking to establish that Brand. We'll go over the 4 different ways that you can incorporate social networking into your marketing plan. You'll walk away with a plan to start incorporating these into your career.

Get to know the sites you MUST have a presence on, and strategies for use of each of the sites.

• Facebook
• Linked In
• My Space
• Twitter
• And…..blogging

We'll take the mystery out of social networking and start you on your way to using it effectively.

Whether you're new to Social Networking or a seasoned twitterer come learn from fellow AEA members what tools are available to help boost your acting career. Finally, you'll know the difference between a tweet and a status update!

It's time to embrace social networking and create a strategy in order to get ahead in today's day and age.
