Can Facebook help you with your acting career?

by Bob Johnson

This week, I happened to catch an Facebook update from a friend of mine who also happens to be a New York casting director. The update was a casting notice that would be perfect for another friend of mine who works to perform in NYC.

Claudia, my “another friend,” isn’t a Facebook user but because the announcement seemed perfect, I connected the two of them. Claudia went to audition yesterday for the gig. I don’t know if she booked the gig but she had her first audition for a casting director in a long time.

If Claudia had been using Facebook, she may have stumbled upon the notice herself.

Take a moment to listen to what Liz Ortiz Mackes, a casting director, about how she uses Facebook. After you do, start using Facebook to help YOUR acting career!
