The Actors Ally – Details, episodes & analysis

Social media

To have or not have? That is the question. In this episode of The Actors Ally podcast, Kaiya and Kate rumble with the ‘need’ for social media platforms like Instagram to say, secure auditions or create and maintain a ‘profile’. Kaiya and Kate acknowledge it’s a full time job to manage and maintain social media accounts for work but ask, does it always align with our values as artists? A few deep breaths in this episode. We are all learning!
