How essential has a social media presence become?

I'd love anyone's opinions on this one. Do you guys think that a social media presence is essential for an actor these days? I understand the benefits but wonder if it's not possible to make a go of it without it. I'm instinctively against the idea of social...

Aging myself down?

Hi all! I'm a new actress at 28, but I've been told I look 21, and in some instances I can actually play a teen. I've actually gotten auditions for loads of teen roles lately and I'm afraid the age question will come up. Do you think I should lie about my age...
