ACTOR NEWS Zenande Mfenyana speaks out about actors needing to include the number of social media followers they have when they go to auditions. It's a travesty! The art of acting has been diminished to apps that have nothing to do with an actor's talent. It makes productions look desperate, as if they can't get traction on their own. AND it breaks the fourth wall. See comments for what she said in a Power FM interview >> You go girrrl!

Zenande: "It hurts a lot though, when someone who has a huge following just gets the part because of their huge following. It's very hurtful.

"We're in such a social media frenzy world where even at an audition you have write how many followers you have. I always leave it out 'cos I'm like what does this have to do with my talent?

"Just put me on tape and see if I'm good enough. And I feel like my work speaks for itself.

"You know, having got in... I mean I started off in children's theatre and then my first big TV break was Generations which was what? 2011.

"You know I just think, from 2011 until now, all the show's that I've been on, like my work speaks for itself you know and I can get better.

"Just put me on tape, give me a chance, don't worry about how many followers I got. It shouldn't be about that."
