What people are saying!

"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 Facebook Page and Instagram accounts 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

"Honestly, I am not a social media person. I am not a selfie person. But I knew that as an actor, if I wanted to really take control of my career and build my audience and brand, then I'd have to do it myself. Heidi helped me ensure that everything I post online would be an honest extension of myself. She gave me amazing in-depth guidance about the best tools and strategies to use to optimize my efforts. I highly recommend her expertise for any actor that really wants to take control of their career."

Cesar Cross

"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

"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

"I always thought I was GREAT with social media until I met Heidi and she took my social media game to a whole new level. Within days she gave all my platforms a social media 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 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 

"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

"There is nobody better for social media training than Heidi Dean. Nobody. Plus, you will never meet a kinder human being on planet Earth."

Dallas Travers

"The Social Rockstar Shallenge you have designed is organized extremely well and is easy to follow and understand. Your detailed insight into each of the social media platforms and how to use them is simply invaluable. My biggest takeaways are knowing what and when to post and using hashtags properly.  I truly appreciate being able to access the classes indefinitely. I know that completing the challenge is only the start of the journey. This will be the building block for a successful social media experience. Many thanks again for all the great tips, insight, and advice. You are truly a social media “Rockstar” for actors."

Steve Hamm

“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 training 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 and the Social Rockstar Challenge are two of the best investments I’ve made as an actor."

Devon Padley

"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

"I thought I knew a lot about social media and yet something drew me to Heidi’s course. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much! She made social media systemized and so that I did a lot of work upfront and saved a ton of time.

She also answered a lot of “next level” questions - about how to do social media when you are a star. When I booked a recurring role on a TV show she showed me the right way to live tweet

Heidi is also just a wonderful person and makes the class very enjoyable. She shows you exactly how to get more followers and make the world a better place. Thank you Heidi!"

Natalie Kim

“If you've ever felt like you have NOTHING to share on social media, the Social Rockstar Challenge will change all of that! Heidi introduced me to so many great ideas and FREE tools for posting! She made it FUN and easy to manage too! Plus there was the added bonus of meeting other actors who were taking the challenge as well."

Jordan Rice

"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." -  Instagram: @tommygkendrick

Tommy G. Kendrick

"I have seen a significant uptick in followers on both Instagram and Twitter, the two platforms I am focusing on.  I also have a plan for how to still be present on social media when I don't have an acting gig. AND I have a plan about how to grow my business using social media as well."

Rick Calvo

“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

"I wanted to send a heartfelt "Thank You" on everything you provided for me in the Social Rockstar Challenge.  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

"I'm now able to look at my social media 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 working with Heidi in Tech Savvy Actors 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.

Because of our informative monthly Tech Savvy Actor calls, 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 knew I wanted to use Instagram for my career but I didn’t know how. Heidi 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

"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. 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 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

"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

"So much of Heidi’s work resonates with me as a human. Before Heidi’s trainings 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

"My relationship with using Facebook and 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

"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)

"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!"
