CONFERENCE GOING: PART 1 How To Use Social Media To Enhance A Voice-Over Conference Experience March 25, 2019 Note: This week (March 28-31), VO Atlanta - the voice-over industry's largest annual conference - will bring 700+ attendees together for education, networking and fun. Even more will join virtually. The author shares how to enrich a VO conference experience through social media ... By Natasha Marchewka Voice Actor & Course CreatorDuring a voice-over conference there is plenty to share, but less time to participate on
social media. So why do it? The benefit of sharing your experiences at a conference is threefold:
JUGGLING YOUR TIME Some people seem so adept at posting their experience before, during,
and after, that they make it look easy. In my experience, it's not. It's a
juggle. It takes away from being present. I've come up with some simple
steps to make both my conference experience and my participation on
social media as easy as possible. 1. Photos Grab as many photos as possible: many with others, a few selfies, and some branding photos. An archive of photos of the people you've met and of the friends you
spent time with will serve you well. You can tag people on social media
and keep the conversation going after the conference. Group photos are
especially great for tagging lots of people, making new friends on
social platforms, and adding variety to your photo storyline. I would caution you, however, to not include yourself in every single photo. That makes for really boring, egocentric posting. What are branding photos?
You'll be grateful to have a photo collection to
share during and after the conference, throughout the year, and even to
share before the next conference. 2. Posting Tips Pre-conference, be sure to familiarize yourself with hashtags that
the conference is using, so you can check out other people's posts and
join the conversation. If you're overwhelmed by posting on social media during the conference, post at
the end of the day or in the morning before emerging from your room, so
you can be fully focused during conference time. What to post?
3. Where To Post
Once you find your rhythm, collecting content at a conference for
social media purposes can be navigated easily. You'll be grateful for
the effort you made!
