Have you found online networking to be as effective as offline? What attempts have you made on the online side of networking?
Do share your thoughts and experiences!

Expand commentYou raise many interesting points, Rutger Oosterhoff. Yes, the elitist behavior from people on the internet (especially on websites like Reddit and Twitter) is genuinely distressing. However, there are also genuinely helpful and good people on the internet. I guess it's just a matter of sorting through the pile of various types of people and finding the ones we care about.

Expand commentI have a very different experience of online networking to these guys.
Take my latest job, for example. A producer I don't know and have never spoken to tagged me in a Twitter shoutout for a composer (she wasn't connected to the film but clearly thought I might fit). I responded to the director and producer who did the shoutout. We had a couple of initial meetings, got on really well, I agreed to do the film, and now we're working closely together and forming a good working relationship that I think might become a friendship afterwards. I of course followed up with the initial producer I didn't know thanking her for thinking of me- now she's a contact too. Wins all round.
Or one of my next projects, where the director was posting about her new film on facebook. I thought it sounded incredible and messaged her on insta. We connected really well and have been texting/messaging ever since. The film shoots later this year and I'm now officially attached to it. She's a force of nature and I'm sure the film is going to do very, very well.
So to answer your questions- yes, if you do it thoughtfully, online networking can be just as fruitful as face to face. I probably get more work from online networking than physical, especially in the last few years. But you've got to be considered in how you do it. There's no point being a virtual spam billboard or reaching out to absolutely anyone you find. It's about putting your work out there thoughtfully, cultivating meaningful connections, and forming friendships alongside working relationships; those are the things that mean you'll find it easier to get work, find work that aligns with your core values and interests, and to form fruitful long-term collaborations with people you actually like and enjoy working with (and who like you back- which is very important too!)
Said very eloquently!!!!!!!! I agree!

Expand postHi Folks.......okay, this just happened yesterday.........Im not sure if this is suspicious or just strange for the sake of being strange........Im looking for an agent after I was dumped with about half of my agents' other clients after he took his co. in another direction. So I found The Beverly Agency. in Beverly Hills.Two weeks ago this happened. I clicked on submissions with all the usual materials requested, sent it, and it kept coming back. I dont know why I pursued it, but I called their # and sure enough it was a recording saying to leave a msg.... blah...blah..........Yesterday a receptionist called me to say they are not accepting anyone new, but one of the agents heard my message and told her to call me to ask if I was on LA Casting and if I was they would check me out and I might or might not hear from him. The receptionist was asking me all kinds of questions, prior name of agent, any commercials, voiceovers....what have I done...........she said they are now going through hoards of submissions and most of the clients are older, which I AM! The thing that. bothered was the receptionist, who wasnt exactly the most "verbally graceful" person in the world.........So Im saying to myself...should I judge the agency because of her or maybe they dont. care that much and just made a bad choice?????? I ready dont understand this whole situation.......I dont now if I will hear anything or not.....But Im just putting this out there to get feedback in case I do, and I would know how to proceed......Anyone have any dealings with them??????????? Thx for any feedback.............JM
Hi, all! Do you think it's acceptable to be asked your real age by a potential agent?

I would love to go out for medical stuff, but no-one believes me or sees me for that purpose........yes, money is money.....and yes age is MORE than a funny thing! I wish you success.......................
Thank you Johanna. Best of luck to you, too!

Expand commentAt some point your agent will probably NEED to know your real age, but the casting directors (and by extension directors, producers, etc) don't ever need to know your real age. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for them to ask your age if you're over 18. Except for beer commercials, where you have to be over 25, I think. Anyway, it can be helpful for your agent to know your real age, so that they are armed with as much information as possible to help target appropriate roles. If it skews their view of you to know your real age, then they might be a bad agent.

I replied and if I want to be represented there is a schedule to click on Fridays for your interview. I know nothing about them. Im skeptical because in all the years I had an agent or was looking for another one, I never heard from these people. Has anyone heard of them or had any dealings with them.? Im. not rushing into anything.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks everyone..............JM

Thanks Stephen.......... there is always that part that of my brain that is curious and wants to know......Whatever is the right answer will present itself..........one minute, one hour, one day at a time!

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this recent issue with the Stage32 site, in terms of previously uploaded photos not showing up on one's profile and there instead being a placeholder image. Also, none of the images show in gallery mode. Is this a happening with other profiles?
Okay, well now the video pix for another video is gone and th S32 placeholder is again there......anyone else having these problems?

Expand commentHi Johanna. I am not having any technical issues with the site. When I look at your profile the video pixs look just fine. The issues from 7 to 9 months ago have been resolved. If there's any residual problem with an image or video then I would recommend deleting and re-loaded those images or videos. And if you sent a message to tech, please give them time to respond. I'll send a direct message on your behalf too. But perhaps there may be something on your end? Browser issue? Image format?
Hi Johanna, sorry about that. I located your ticket and responding to it right now.
