The Show Hub... The Working Actor's New Friend

We as actors are constantly trying to come up with ways to find work, promote ourselves, or make connections. Sometime to success, sometimes to constant failure. Besides the old adage of every 99 times you hear NO, 1 time you will hear an YES... Well the website, The SHOW HUB, is that yes in my opinion. It may not get you work, you still need talent of course but it will help promote yourself in a way we as actors have been waiting to do for a very long time.

A brief description on the website is thus follows: An online ecosystem that provides: production, marketing, and hiring tools for theatres, career management tools for theatre people all online. All in One place. All you need! I met CEO Clayton Whitfield at the fall Southeastern Theatre Conference in Atlanta at a workshop he was co-hosting on how to promote your self in the entertainment industry. The session was informative and both speakers had some great pointers. One of the main things I took away was The Show Hub. I went home and within a day had my site up and running. Now any theatre can search for a specific type of actor and if I meet those qualifications my headshot/resume pops up.

I can not speak for casting directors and theater management but I can see why these tools would be useful. Plus it is AFFORDABLE for an actor. Think about it, where else can you fully be able to represent yourself with headshot/resume/and media links for the price between $10 and $50 and not have to worry about mailing and stamps etc? No where. Plus a great benefit is you can add the link right to an email or website to it is also easy to send anyone with the click on a mouse.

I am glad I attended this workshop, glad I met Clayton, and glad I now have The Show Hub to add to my promotional materials as an actor. I suggest everyone do the same.
