As a baby boomer, I had been trying to avoid getting caught
up in this social media frenzy, but as you know, it has now become a way of
life. As an actor, it is crucial to have a strong online presence that stands
out from the crowd. Blake Jamieson’s book, TWITTER FOR ACTORS is the blueprint
to make that happen. It is so concise, well written and informative, I read it
in one sitting pausing only to make adjustments on my twitter page right after
learning something new.
I was doing just that when a casting director I tweeted led
me to finding my birth mother!! As a fellow adoptee, we now have a common bond
deeper than any acting job could ever manifest.
No matter who you’re following on twitter, you must absolutely
add @TFAcom to the list! And check out my page @CarleaseBurke to see how professional
it looks after reading #TwitterForActors!!
