Together they realized there was a gaping hole in affordable and effective ways for actors to promote themselves.
They saw that there were, and still are, too many scammers out there preying on the would-be actor. For example, the not-so-cool agent saying he will sign you after you pay him for “processing and promotional” fees. Following this, he sends you to his best friend photographer who charges you top dollar for headshots. In turn, this fellow then sends you to his buddy to do a site for you, and three thousand dollars (or more!) later you are still without a fully-functioning marketing tool.
Other sites may charge you to upload photos, add resume credits, or upload demo reels. We find this particular practice to be pretty unsavory. You do the work and yet you have to pay someone else?
Moving on.
One of the keys to making it in this business is the promotion of who you are and what you bring to the party. A website is the easiest approach to this, since it’s a destination where every aspect of your career can be observed in one place. More and more casting directors, agents, producers, and directors are going to the web to scout for talent.
If you are an actor without a website – without a way to represent yourself and what you do in this digital age – you are damaging your career.
Our original founders have been in the Industry since the 1980’s, and have been in the business of web site creation since the Internet arrived in the 90’s. In short, they know the Internet like the backs of their hands, and they are experts in the creation of professional sites.
Our development team meets regularly to ensure you are getting the best product on the market.
Myactingsite.com takes pride as the leading customizable site for actors. We bend over backwards with free telephone support to make sure all actors achieve their dreams. We are actors, and we care, so we never charge extra fees for anything at all. Why are we so affordable? We believe this is all that actors should pay to have a fully functional website that they can update anytime and anywhere. We believe you should get as much as you can, for as little as possible. We also believe that all lunches anywhere should cost only $5.00 (but we’re still trying to make that work out). And finally, we believe your day job shouldn’t be as a web developer just so you can support your presence on the internet.
So let us do the heavy lifting, and go out and break a leg!
