The Art of Social Media for Actors

​Social Media is the largest platform of communication across the globe and it is a chance for you to show the world what you do and how good you are at doing it!
Actors are encouraged to use social media to demonstrate their growth, skill and current projects. You never know who might be looking!


Here are some tips from the Tutors and Team at IPM Acting Academy on what to do with your Actors Profile on Social media:

Look Professional!

We all have those pictures on our Facebook or Instagram that are from our holidays or from that one night out you probably don’t want to remember! Ensuring that your social media profile for your acting career looks professional, it is good to start from scratch and dedicate the page to your acting… and not the karaoke night video of you singing along to Journey.

Know Your Hashtags!

Knowing what hashtags to use on your posts will help grow your followers and likes on your posts.

There are many sites that help you find which hashtags are trending in the moment. Utilise these tools and you will reach more people with your posts that have the same interests, careers and who are searching for talent in the industry.

Keep Up-to-Date

Just like your head shots, your social media should be current. People want to know what you are up to NOW. Whether it's training, being onset or your regimental routine as an actor, keep them engaged with what is current. Let them know when you have some news! New show reel, head shots or accent, they want to see what you are up to in your career. 

And Always Remember...

When filming a project, be aware of what you can and can’t post on social media.
No one likes spoilers, and the industry can be strict on releasing information or imagery. Always check what, and if, you can post on your profiles when you are filming on set!
