The Proven System for Actors to Grow an Audience, Make Industry Connections & Finally Make an Impact on Instagram

"I knew I wanted to use Instagram for my career but I didn’t know how. InstaActor has made my social media life easier and less frustrating. Learning how to plan my posts in advance and batch create content has also been a LIFE SAVER! And I am now crushing my REELS! I’ve gained followers and I’m continuing to gain the RIGHT followers everyday."

Grace Perez

“My relationship with using Instagram was fairly advanced because one of my day jobs was working at an advertising agency. However, promoting businesses vs. actor businesses is very different. Heidi helped me address all of this - and showed me step by step how to market myself as an actor. I can't thank you enough for this comprehensive and fabulous learning experience. Plus today I woke up to a request for a Directors meeting for a supporting role in a feature film...because of an Instagram post! Thank you SO much for all you do!"

-Katherine Partington

(Actress - Producer)

"Before I took InstaActor, I was “throwing spaghetti at the wall.” I would just pick random things to post, not thinking about who my audience was or if I was actually providing anything of substance. Heidi’s class took the “guesswork” away and completely changed the game for me. Now, not only am I getting more followers and engagement from my posts, but I’m truly enjoying the process. PLUS I’m building new relationships with other people in the industry.

I was even approached by a producer to have a general meeting because of my Instagram – incredible! Heidi’s course is foolproof. You will walk away with a social media plan that is easy and effective. EVERY actor should take the InstaActor course."

-Jenn Nobile

"I'm so thankful! I HATED social media and would spend countless hours trying to come up with something to post. When nothing came, I just gave up and would go months without posting. I even contemplated deleting my IG account. I came across Heidi on Instagram and I instantly gravitated to her warm, genuine personality and her extensive knowledge.  She has made social media FUN for me and waaaay more consistent.  With all of the hacks, shortcuts and new knowledge, it saved me lots of time, especially having pre-researched hashtags and using scheduling apps. You think you know social media, but you really don't until you take her trainings. I highly recommend them!"

-Jessica Boss

“As a new VO talent and on-camera actor, this class helped me figure out how to pursue the 'business' of my career the right way. Before Heidi’s trainings, I never knew what hashtags to put on my posts but now I do. AND I am gaining more followers. If you want to start marketing yourself and boost your acting career, Heidi Dean is the person that you want to turn to! Thank you again Heidi!"

-Heath Miller

“Heidi Dean is a social media whisperer! With her, it's not just about steps and tricks; it's about making your social media journey a breeze. She's my secret weapon when clients need that extra boost.”

– Jenn Boyce
Former Talent Agent in LA (for 30 years)

"I always thought I was GREAT with Instagram until I met Heidi and she took my social media game to a whole new level. Within days she gave my Instagram a make over that allowed me to post with confidence. And then she did it AGAIN…with her Instagram stories training. Mind. Blown. As long as social media continues to change, I’ll keep coming back to Heidi. She always has the latest and greatest — and super easy tips for keeping it up with social media.”

DaJuan Johnson

"Heidi Dean is literally ‘the Boss’ when it comes to social media. She is my go-to expert for learning more about what to post, how to post it and fresh ways to increase engagement with followers, fans and beyond. Plus, I can always count on Heidi to be on top of the ever-changing policies on all the social platforms -- so I don’t have to be!"

Tammy Lynn

"Heidi has completely blown me away! Social media used to feel overwhelming and I had no idea what an incredible tool it could be in my acting career. I am now empowered with what, when, why and how to post, and my network is growing!  I can't recommend Heidi highly enough-- for actors or for anyone who wants to build a following for their business.  It works!!! Thank you Heidi!"

Heather Hiatt

"Heidi transformed the way I view social media in my life. You took me from someone posting for myself alone to someone who was engaging his followers. I now know how to engage my audience in a way that invites interaction and also represents my best self. My followers practically doubled, and my confidence went through the roof. Your daily videos were so clear and the resources you gave out to us all are amazing. Your class has been one of the best investments in my acting career.”

Joseph Narducci 

(Audie-Nominated Voice Actor)

"Heidi's has energized my acting career! As a content creator, I am more confident, consistent, and aware of what steps and platforms to dominate for my sketches. Instagram and Youtube have become a part of my acting team and I have even gotten responses already 1 week after her class from casting directors for target shows!"

Ben Jacob

“Heidi Dean is a Social Media Genius & InstaActor has been EYE OPENING! I've already seen an incredible turnaround in my social media following & engagement. I'm so happy I invested in Heidi Dean's InstaActor Course, my entire view of the social media game has turned upside down! Sign up NOW! It's worth EVERY penny and you WON’T regret it!”

-Jillian Melko

"Heidi Dean You Are Amazing!!! Thank You!!! Because of InstaActor I'm clearer on how to visually uplevel my acting brand and build my following on Instagram. I've taken courses on social media for actors (from a very well known casting director and very well known actor) but neither of them had your "secret sauce.” Since your trainings, I am blown away by the replies coming from new people who are seeing my posts. Your method works and you rock Heidi."

Cynthia Pope

"Heidi’s expertise in all things social media was a huge factor in the success of my Off-Broadway play. She knew the best ways to use my Instagram for posting about the show as well as creating ads that allowed us to achieve our SOLD OUT run. Since she knew exactly how to reach our audience organically we also saved a lot of money. I would want her on my team anytime I am producing work. I am grateful for who she is and what she brings to the table."

Renata Hinrichs

"Heidi has made me feel more confident about posting on Instagram. I was always jealous of the really cool posts I was seeing other people make, but now I know how I can make mine just as good and get eyeballs on them too. Since changing my hashtags I've had production companies, actors and casting directors start following me. And I'm getting new followers every time I post from all over the world. It's been so fun!"

-Liz Tiede

“I have seen growth every week applying what I’ve learned. Heidi helped me redo my YouTube Channel and I was featured by a comedy website! I was also chosen to be one of 16 actors admitted into the UCLA on-camera program….And I credit a lot of what she taught me in terms of presentation. They were looking for actors with some professional polish who want to go to the next level. This stuff works! I am feeling more ready than ever."

Charlie Newell

"InstaActor is the second course I’ve taken with Heidi and I cannot say enough about how the classes have changed the way I view social media. The videos are fun and informative, and Heidi is so personable you feel like you’re just sitting down to coffee with a friend. I constantly remember her words of wisdom as I craft social posts or work on my posting schedule. I send her name to everyone I know, and not only have her classes supported me, but Heidi is constantly cheering me on! InstaActor is one of the best investments I’ve made as an actor."

Devon Padley

"Taking the InstaActor course was a great decision on my part because the cost of the course is well below the value. The course material is well structured, professionally presented and goes far beyond anything available by any other social media guru. Plus it specifically addresses the needs of ACTORS! Awesome! My only regret about the InstaActor course is that I didn’t take it sooner."

Tommy G. Kendrick

"Heidi’s InstaActor Training was worth the investment and then some. I’ve paid for a couple of other IG trainings that weren’t nearly as personal or specific, and my number of followers tended to just sit stagnant. I’m so glad to be on the right track now. Heidi’s training is full of tips on how to be authentic and personal in growing your Instagram following in a way that will last. She also addresses technical questions on navigating Instagram itself, and is very generous with bonus suggestions for editing apps, taking great pictures and creative story ideas. The best part? She just genuinely cares about us performers. Thank you so much, Heidi!"

Cara Scott

“So much of Heidi’s work resonates with me as a human. Before InstaActor, I thought Instagram was a wasteland of people showing off fake lives. Fake experiences. Only the good and none of the struggle that's actually human.  I've decided (using so much of what I learned) to feature my life in all of its truth - the good, bad, and the ugly. I don't feel limited by my own silly thoughts of "no one wants to see this." I've already had so many great responses and engagement just from adding the tiniest calls to action. Wow. People that vibe with me, vibe with my posts and that is all I really wanted. To create a sense of social media community. To feel less alone in the experience of being an artist and a human. Thank you Heidi!!!!!"

-Felipe Figueroa

"Every actor needs to be on Social Media and there is no one better to show them how to do it than Heidi Dean. I send all of my coaching clients to Heidi. She is simply the best at guiding actors to set up and handle their social media with class."

– Peter Pamela Rose
Casting Director

"As a working actor who has been in the business for 30 years I have learned that in order to survive you must learn to adapt to the constantly changing landscape of the entertainment industry. Being just a good actor is no longer good enough. You must have an understanding of how the latest digital marketing and social media tools are being used and how you can apply them to establish your brand, connect with your audience, and network with the people in position who can help you get the kind of work you have been dreaming of. Heidi Dean’s InstaActor course gives you that understanding and so much more. InstaActor is the most comprehensive, entertaining, and informative class I have ever taken on social media. She covers EVERYTHING on Instagram from top to bottom. No stone is left unturned. Heidi is a fantastic teacher with a clear approach that makes learning this stuff fun. Couldn’t recommend it more!! Thank you Heidi!"

-John Tague

"Heidi Dean You Are Amazing!!! Thank You!!! Because of your trainings I'm clearer on how to visually uplevel my acting brand, build my following and become an influencer on Instagram.

Your method works and you rock Heidi."

-Cynthia Pope

"I don't dread posting anymore. I'm actually excited and inspired to post! AND I don't feel overwhelmed to respond back to people now that I have a schedule of when to do it. I know how important social media is when it comes to being on a show. I was a lead in a TV movie but it didn't matter. They didn't use me as much in the PR for the show because I didn’t have the followers. I learned my lesson. I'm on it now with confidence thanks to you. Thank you so much Heidi."

-Chrystee Pharris

“Heidi helped me grow as an artist and because I learned how to put the 'Me' in my social media it has helped me connect with my followers on a more personal level. Due to the useful advice that Heidi, I now have a fan base with like-minded individuals, and the numbers only keep growing."

Nadin Kat

"Within just the first 2 weeks, I’ve received more traffic to my social media accounts than ever before and have made A LOT more connections. One of those connections helped me book a stunt gig for a feature film (starring John Goodman)!"

– Brian E. Neal

"I'm now able to look at my Instagram with a whole different mindset. I’ve realized there is actually a system to the madness (lol).  Before Heidi, I had no clue what to post on social media. But thanks to Heidi I am super clear now!"

Deloris Akins

"I used to suffer from posting paralysis.

As an actor/voice actor and voice over coach, I wanted to be more active and engaged on social media. But  I never knew what to post and I'd end up feeling overwhelmed and discouraged, and post nothing.

After this course, I have a brand new relationship with social media!  I feel informed and inspired. Heidi helped me understand how to tell my unique story on social media and attract my audience online.

I'm never at a loss for what to post these days.  But even if I don't have an idea or simply don't have the time to post, I'll never worry about it the way I used to. Heidi's amazing coaching has helped me find the balance in my social media strategy."

-Jennifer Sims

"I wanted to send a heartfelt "Thank You" on everything you provided for me in the course.  Your step by step guide is a lifesaver of massive proportions and I never have to worry again on what to do or how to do it.  My platforms are now effective tools in my Actor's Toolbox!  I never felt that way before. Thank you so much Heidi!"

Kahlid Elijah Tapia

-Liz Tiede

"Thank you Heidi! Through what you taught me about promoting myself on social Media I booked a SAG series!  I followed the casting director on Instagram and he got to see my nice guy boy next door brand. He brought me in to audition and I booked the role. Thank you so much!"

-Nate Francis

"Heidi, has brought confidence, fun and so much amazing energy to social media. Not only has she helped my daughter, a budding young actress, but also my own brand. Her trainings are a must for actors! She makes you feel less overwhelmed and makes the steps so easy. We have been making so many more connections because of everything she's helped us with. We absolutely adore her!”

-Khadija (mom of Teen Actress Matinah Pender)

-Jessica Boss

"I can't say enough about the InstaActor program! Thanks to Heidi's class I have been able to streamline my social media to reach my acting career goals. The content on my page is intentional and geared towards making meaningful connections. As actors we are constantly asked to create our own content and this is something that I have struggled with. But after watching the Instagram Reels Training I’ve been able to upload my own content on a regular basis and put my hashtag knowledge to good use for the purpose of obtaining followers and visibility. This program was worth the investment and I recommend it wholeheartedly if you are serious about growing an engaged following online as an actor!"

Irma Cadiz

“We have had multiple clients reach out and book us directly for voiceover work from our IG account alone."

-The Glow Girls VO

“I set an ‘unattainable’ goal of 2000 followers for my daughter by May 1st. We kept following the plans and suddenly the last few days we can barely keep up with new followers, much less worry about unfollowers. She just crossed the 1900 mark, about double from a month ago. And the best thing…her first audition offered based on her Instagram.”

-Barbara Y.

"Thanks to Heidi not only have I learned how to use social media to advance my acting career, but I have stopped being shy online and I’ve started to post things that I thought were impossible. I have acquired many more followers and I’m gaining strength in my acting career! The great thing about Heidi is that she takes her classes seriously and establishes a connection with her students (unlike some people out there just out to get money from actors) Heidi actually cares about us! Thanks so much."

-Tresa Jones

(Actor)

"InstaActor helped me give my Instagram the makeover it deserves! I've had an interest in the platform, but could never wrap my head around it and fumbled my way through. After taking this class, I now feel confident in my ability to create posts, engage with others, and grow my following. I've already come a long way, and it's all thanks to Heidi! Looking forward to taking another course soon!"

-Kevin Liberty

"Social media always seemed too overwhelming and I'd get frustrated and give up, but Heidi broke it all down into small, actionable steps. InstaActor helped demystify social media for me. If you’re an actor who needs help with your social media, I highly recommend taking this class!"

Rachanee Lumayno

"Heidi Dean is an expert at Social Media Marketing for Actors. Her programs are powerful and teach actors how to make a strong professional impact. I highly recommend Heidi to actors around the world who want to be competitive in the industry."
