## The New Casting Reality
Five years ago, your reel and credits were enough. Today, many productions also check your Instagram or YouTube before making a decision.
### Why this matters
- Directors want to know if you have an audience that can help promote the film
- Some roles now consider “social media fit” as part of casting
- Your online behavior can help or hurt your chances
### How to handle it professionally
Keep your professional profiles clean and updated. If you have a meaningful following, mention it on your Rosterwoods profile. If you don’t, focus on strong verified credits instead.
Social media is now part of the industry. Pretending it doesn’t exist won’t help you.
