Social Media for Stars: Foursquare

As they are probably pretty apparent from my online presence, I'm a large advocate of employing social media to assist your work. Facebook are pretty globally-used at this time around... but can you use any other platforms? I'm prone to suggest one at this time around: Foursquare. Foursquare, if you're not really acquainted with it, can be a social media platform that allows clients to "check-in" for his or her current locations. Frequently you'll find special special discounts at sells stores, or fun honours that might be won using the check-in process. Many individuals take advantage of the service due to its fundamental function: to permit others understand what they're around. This really is frequently fun alone... but not every us want the earth to know our location 24/7. For people who shouldn't shout their location within the roofs, Foursquare also allows you to definitely certainly take a look at locations individually, or getting a little number of fans that might be controlled. How's this particularly helpful becoming an actor? Well, round the most surface level, celebrate networking simpler. Thinking about a place as being a film screening or event enables people realize that you're positively mixed up in industry. Many of the helpful when the screening is ideal for a film you're in, or possibly is almost every other event that might help obtain the work available. You'll be able to attach notes for the Foursquare register for some individuals to determine too---from your website's Hyperlink to some compliment for the director from the film you saw and loved. I are also the type of individual who likes to keep close track of my recent auditions, to bear in mind what offices I get into for, callbacks, dates of auditions, etc. For any very long time, I saved this kind of information in the handwritten notebook... effecive enough, while not really convienent and straightforward to allow on. I am able to check out any casting office (individually) through Foursquare directly on my cell phone, within 10-seconds. This leaves us a lasting digital record of career occurrences will have the ability to reference whenever I must. It will come in handy. Are you currently presently using Foursquare, or possibly an identical program now?

Last week's episode was equally marvelous, with Yvette Nicole Brown the standout as Shirley revealed her foosball skills - and her bullying past - in a story that unexpectedly and uproariously shifted into anime mode.

Chewbacca on 'Glee': A Brief History of 'Star Wars' Characters Appearing in Something That's Not 'Star Wars'

Chewbacca is going to be on the holiday episode of 'Glee.' Sadly, it does not appear that he will be participating in any Life Day events (if you have any idea what Life Day refers to, I'm sorry), but he will be appearing in some sort of Christmas dream sequence. "Oh, heavens, Chewbacca appearing on 'Glee' is a travesty to the sanctity of 'Star Wars,'" you would have probably said before you ever watched 'The Phantom Menace.' Now, you just shrug. I just shrugged. Han Solo just shrugged. We are all, collectively, shrugging. But! It doesn't happen often, but this isn't the first time a 'Star Wars' character, played by the original actor, has appeared in something that isn't Star Wars. Behold, (not counting commercials) a brief history of 'Star Wars' characters appearing in something that's not 'Star Wars.' 'The Muppet Show' Hey, remember 'The Muppets'? Whatever happened to them? Anyway, back in 1980, Luke Skywalker, C-3P0 and R2D2 were looking for Chewbacca (they should really try looking on the set of 'Glee'). Hey, want to see some overacting? Fast forward to 5:40 to watch Mark Hamill scream "Down with the Empire!" before kicking down a door. 'Sesame Street' R2-D2 is in love with a fire hydrant. That's about it. C-3PO does try to talk R2-D2 out of this foolishness. People should listen to C-3P0 more often. Anti-Smoking PSA This is not really a commercial, so it counts. Technically it's a pubic service announcement about the benefits of smoking. Look how cool R2-D2 looks with a cigarette! If I want to be as cool as Artoo, I should smoke. OK, having just re-watched that clip, apparently C-3PO doesn't want you to smoke. Eh, it was the '70s, so you never know. Lesson learned: Don't smoke. Whooping Cough PSA Also, don't get whooping cough. Smoking does not cause whooping cough, at least in humans. But, the studies are inconclusive on droids. Look, all I know is that I just watched R2-D2 smoking a butt, now he has the whooping cough. You know, I have a feeling that anyone who has ever come out against immunizing children has probably seen this add. I could envision a scenario in which listening to C-3PO patronizingly saying, "parents of Earth, please immunize your kids," would lead some parent not to do just that out of spite. 1997 MTV Music Awards Mike Myers awarded Chewbacca a lifetime achievement award at the 1997 MTV Music Awards. Get this, Chewbacca won this award before he even appeared on 'Glee.' You can contact Mike Ryan directly on Twitter Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
