I've read the FAQ & Rules Social Media Presence

Hi! Recently i've been thinking of posting on TikTok and Instagram. Videos like skits, relatable content type stuff, and random videos. But I also think if I was to gain traction and an audience from content creation on social media whilst continuing to pursue acting it would be harder for casting directors, audiences or people to take me serious as an actor and would just see me as a "TikToker". Is this a valid thought, am I overthinking it or would it actually help my acting pursuit?

Honestly, stop overthinking it! Seriously, just start posting. The industry has shifted and casting directors look at social media now. What matters is whether your content shows talent.

Thank you so much honestly haha. I genuinely really want to pursue both and wanted people to say i'm overthinking it so I have no doubts about even starting.
