Actors often think they don’t need a website, especially if they’ve got an IMDB page. After all, if Viola Davis and Daniel Day-Lewis don’t have their own sites, why should you have one?
First of all, many well-known actors do have their own websites, including Tyler Perry, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ashley Judd, Michael Caine, and Sir Ian McKellen to name a few. Second of all, you are not yet Viola Davis or Daniel Day-Lewis. And of course, all the other reasons to have your own site.
It makes you look and feel professional. As an actor, you’re also an entrepreneur and a brand. Having your own site conveys that you’re a professional who takes your work seriously.
It gives you control of your image and brand.As your success grows, people will talk about you and present you in different lights. Your own website is the one place you have complete control over your narrative, no matter what anyone else is saying.
It makes you easy to find. Having your own website makes it easy for people to find you, like a casting director who sees you in a play and Googles your name when they get home. If they can’t find you, you will miss opportunities.
It empowers you to build your own audience.When
