Entrevista con Brea Grant

Hay una serie de televisión de las varias que hoy sigo que hizo a partir de esta temporada una - adquisición - notable a mi gusto y se llama Brea Grant, actriz joven de Texas, ella tiene la no menor gracia de haber creado en internet un blog que actualiza personalmente en forma periódica además de ser una twitter declarada @breagrant. Pero todo esto sería anecdótico sino hubiese visto la serie que les mencionaba... Heores de la NBC, están en su esperada tercera temporada y Daphne el personaje de Brea toma cada vez mas protagonismo, como era de esperar la prensa lo notó y lei esta entrevista del blog de un amigo gringo, aqui va algo de lo que contaba.

Chris: Can celebrity and transparency be compatible?

Brea: There is a lot of transparency. Regardless of what I’m doing, people watch. It doesn’t matter. I can be having lunch with my friend and people will come up and want a photograph. I feel like I’m being somewhat transparent, but I definitely keep some things to myself. You’ll never read my twitter and know exactly where I am.

My only fear is that the paparazzi is going to show up where I am, or that someone is going to mistake something I write.

What about you being you versus having your “team” tweet. You do your own tweets. What do you think of celebrities who want to use teams to do it?

I think that it’s a big difference.

We’re actors, but it’s important for me to show off that I’m a real person. I think was where I needed the help. I’m not as tech savvy as I may come across, but it’s with Laura’s help that I can do all this. I’m like an old man sometimes, saying things like, “What? What’s that? What’s this Twitter?” She had to show me how it’s a way to keep up with my friends, and keep up with my fans, and share information directly.

Laura adds that she thinks it’s unreasonable to expect that Britney Spears (or other celebs) do everything herself. Brea doesn’t do the technical back end stuff, like manage WordPress and all the YouTube stuff. But Brea writes the content and everything. Laura says that it takes people to run the website and the social program, but as the support, not the “talent.”

Brea: I think that people get that to a certain extent. There are days when I wake up, I have to be on set at 5AM and on site, and I can’t look at a computer all day. I have my iPhone, but yeah. Overall, I don’t have the time to build a website like I have now.

From Geekmommy: How does she find celebrity changes her internet experience? Do people believe she is genuine?

No. People don’t. I get a lot of emails that are like, “I’m sure you really don’t answer your email, and I get Facebooks that say ‘this isn’t really Brea,’ and the fact that people can’t believe that I’m reading my emails and answering my facebook.

The only major difference is that I don’t tell people where I am any more.

I also don’t reply to emails that ask me to fly to Illinois for dates. There are limits, and when people write me creepy emails, this happens, I have to be a little bit careful about that. Celebrity changes the whole thing.
