Sitting down with Kristina Hughes who is not only an Actor but also the co-founder of Holdon Log, The Standard in Performer Organizational Tools
QAny quick tips or advice you can share with your peers based upon your experience as an actor?
A You need to look at every interaction, meeting, seminar, class, time at a booking as an opportunity to learn from others. You need to log, track and manage your day-to-day ongoings so that you are on time, prepared and organized. I think of it as wanting to be the person people think of when they need a “young professional type”, a “well mannered hand model to work doubling a celebrity” the “person to go to when they might need a referral for a great make-up artist”, etc.
Be the person that others want to work with repeatedly because you do a great job. Be the person that others go to for leads (stockpile your contact database with everyone you ever work with…from the director and producer to the stylist and caterer). This is called “Reverse Networking”; when you can, at a moments notice, recommend needed cast & crew members to anyone involved with the next latest and greatest project.
When you accomplish this the project’s “powers that be” will look at you not just as ‘another actor’, but rather a valued commodity to their project’s endeavors. It’s then you can leverage your ‘power’ to not just book a role in their project but perhaps a producer’s credit to boot!
