The Scene Partner is documenting my journey of this crazy career we call Acting. Well, part of that journey is self-promotion! Over the weekend, episode 3 of the webseries I’m doing went up on Youtube! Check out Ep 3 Mohammad Jenkins of the webseries Parker and Drusilla:

Working the Web: New Media makes Producing and Sharing New Content Easier
6 AprI’ve been working on this fun little project called “Parker and
Drusilla” for the past couple months. Finally, our hard work (actually
not hard work at all, it’s been loads of fun) has paid off and we’ve
debuted our first episode! What’s great about the web is that I can
share this with you instantly. It’s short and sweet and will hopefully
make you chuckle. Check it out! Comment, Share and Rate it please. If
enough of you do so then we’ll post more and more… and who knows, if I’m
patient enough, maybe this will pay off in some way, shape or form too!
More Ways of the Web for Actors
2 Mar
As I wrote about yesterday,
it’s important to get yourself out there on the world wide web as an
actor. The stronger your online presence the better. I briefly touched
upon the different ways you can do that– one of which is going Viral.
There is a great article on this, called 7 Steps to Creating a Viral Video.
With YouTube, Vimeo, FunnyOrDie, CollegeHumor, etc. there are plenty of ways to share a short video, gain viewers, fans, audiences and putting your unique sense of humor, brand of quirkiness, etc out there for the world to see. Not that your 2 min video is going to win your instant fame but it’s a way of creating your own work and the icing on the cake would be to get noticed. It’s really all about putting that creative energy out there because one day it’s going to come back to you.

Building Web Presence to Build Your Career
1 Mar
I
think it’s really important to put yourself out there in whatever way
you can. The web is a prime example on how you can do that. If someone
googles your name, you want something to show up. Because until
you’ve got your own TV show or starred in a wide-released film how is
anyone going to know that you are really out there working, making it
happen?
Here are some different ways to build your web presence (which also is building your brand). It’s important to do more than one of these. Get yourself out there as much as possible!
Personal Website
– the perfect place to show who you are as an actor, your brand, your type
– twitter latest news, promote your shows, gain “followers”
– another place to spread the news, promote and gain “fans” or “friends”
Youtube
– post your reel, clips of shows and films you were in, shorts you created and gain “subscribers”
Blog
– similar to your own website, you can promote the latest happening in your career but you can also help create that brand of You, what are you all about?
Other
LinkedIn, Myspace, Personal E-Newsletter, Online Casting Profiles, and I’m sure much more that I don’t even know about!
