As of this post, I've had to create a "Tammy's Tidbits for Actors" File on my server to save for my daughter. Thanks for all you do, Tammy Hunt. You're a blessing.

Thanks for sharing this checklist - I know so many actors launching websites to enhance virtual auditioning and it's great to have a checklist and clear direction.

In your experience, is it common for reps and casting directors to look up actor's websites to find more information about them?

That's a great question, I'd love to know the answer to Ashley Renee Smith, Tammy Hunt

Ashley, I will tell you the answer to that by and large, is YES. Cyber stalking actors is very common (I am kidding with that term) more-so, learning everything you can about them, especially on their social media page as we all wanna know who people are, how they behave and if they reveal anything bad (or good) publicly. You'd be amazed what casting directors and producers find on people's social media pages and such which they use to weed out the potential problems.

I listened to a podcast about that very topic Ashley (tagging isn't working again) put out by a CD interviewing other CDs. Yes, they do check socials sometimes if they like a person and want to see how they would be to work with. So don't get in arguments on social media.

Ashley absolutely! No casting director or producer, director, etc., as part of a production wants an actor who may be a liability to the success of the series or film.
