An Authentic Voice in the Digital Age

Social media is a beehive of cultural consciousness. It’s a perfect opportunity to engage with audiences. But beware, an inauthentic voice is spotted quickly. Here are some tips for finding your true digital voice: 

• Be true to yourself. Be conversational, just like you are in person. 

• Know what NOT to post. Balance being genuine and oversharing by making a do’s and don’ts list.

• Don’t have one-way conversations. Social media is about engagement, and replying and retweeting are essential.  

• Use video and photos. It doesn’t have to be highly produced, but imagery will capture your voice in a way text cannot.
