Things have changed a lot in the biz lately though -- there's more people willing to give you a shot if they like your stuff on YouTube or Vine, etc. Because actors can get themselves a real solid following on those platforms now, and sometimes that's what gives you an edge over another actor. (Like it or not, the whole business is a competition.)

And of course, if you have acting experience in other areas that's on your resume -- on stage, for instance, rather than on screen, if you start putting things up online that's a really good way to jump into another performance medium. That's the next step for my career too (but I'm not funny so it's not quite as easy to just put things up online. :P)

So it was nice because, firstly, it's solid advice for modern actors and it was nice for me cause it means I'm moving in the right direction. :P
