Networking advice for JGoldman: Twitter, Instagram, etc...

JGoldman: Do you follow any animation experts; industry blogs; minority artists; etc... on social media? Making this a separate thread as you have so many other animation threads on various different topics that it would be deleterious/somewhat ineffective to digress on those discussions and this one would remain focus on this necessity of career building.

You claim that all you have is a smartphone to work on. That's all you need to help build upon your networking outside a2k, reddit, Metacafe, and Dailymotion. Those seem like dead ends in regards to having helpful advice to positively push you in your attempt to birth a career in animation and voice acting.

Whether you choose to accept this advice and direction, that's up to you. You seem to get stuck on spiraling through asking the same questions time and time and time again. And not actually following through (anecdotally speaking of course).

You keep asking about trends in animation but basically relying on decades-old information which will be a great failing point as you clearly DO NOT have a time machine and will have a difficult time breaking into the current animation scene AND WORSE the constantly evolving industry if you keep kicking the proverbial can down the road with excuses and constant procrastination.

You're going to have to keep an inclusive mindset and an open mind. Or your potential audience will be nano-niche and will be nearly impossible to make a proper living. Being an artist is already one of the most challenging career choices. And your strict religious dogma will only handcuff you; blindfold you; it will likely kill your career before it even starts.

I'll update this (and hopefully others as well).
