Jordyn Jones Talks Using Social Media For Up & Coming Actors

Jordyn Jones is offering up some advice on social media strategies for up and coming actors.

The Overnights actress talked about the change in the business with the use of technology and social media pages.

“Sometimes it’s rough especially for up-and-coming talent because everyone else has been doing it for years,” she said. “Producers and studios are picking talent sometimes based on their social following because it’s built-in marketing for the project, however that doesn’t give anyone the right who wants to be a good actor to slack off. Practice, hone your craft and truly earn your spot. Having a lot of followers doesn’t automatically make you a good actor, own the room when you walk into an audition and show them your shine. Also, no matter what just keep going and don’t get discouraged.”

“I mean every minute of the day. If I’m on the phone, taking selfies, posting to my socials, keeping my daily calendar or asking Siri to find something for me,” Jordyn added. “Technology is a super major part of my life as a millennial. It’s what we do and who we are. It’s also definitely benefited me and my career because whenever I post and have shows my fans can easily reach me and know all the updates.”

She even dished that one of the first things she does in the morning is check messages from fans. “When I open Instagram in the morning, I stalk my comments and direct messages. It makes me so happy and always puts me in a good mood.”
