MAX TAlents hone your skills for the summer Season!

Theres an amazing opportunity out there. With the spring coming and summer just around the corner what better way to hone your skills and maximize your potential for the busy season. It was a slow winter but is now picking up! So take a look and if interested please contact the agency and we will get you the information you need!

From Ron Leach:

My next course in on-camera audition skills is starting up this coming
Monday and a couple of registrants have had to drop out for financial
reasons. This leaves two spots open in the course. In sixteen years of
teaching Audition Dynamics, is embarking upon its next centennial of
classes, having celebrated the 100th course recently.

After a winter hiatus, Scene Dynamics returns in two weeks time and there
are spots to be taken in this course as well. Scene Dynamics continues the
exploration of deep text work, in a partnered scene, marrying the actors
choices with a profound and career-changing relationship with the lens.

It is going to be a very busy spring, with Hallmark returning for a full
slate of films to cast and some exciting new projects coming to Toronto.
After a slow but steady winter, I know we are all ready to bust out and
work. Priming your audition and on-set skills is a great way to secure a
piece of the workload coming down the pipe!

MAX Model Insider Tips for a Successful Modeling Career!

Tips for a Successful Modeling Career

 Whether you’ve just started out as a model or you’ve been a model for a while. There are some things you need to know in order to have a long and lucrative career as a model. Models come in all shapes and sizes for a variety of projects. So as long as you are willing to learn and follow some, or all, of these tips you should be able to make it as a model no matter what your shape and size.

Tip#1: Modeling is a Business

As a model you are your own business. Just like with any business it will take time, effort and commitment in order for that business to gro and be lucrative. The same goes for modeling. You need to put in the time to not only go to auditions, but keep yourself in shape, get enough rest and look your best. You want to make a good first impression at all the auditions you go to.

Tip #2: Present Yourself as the Perfect Candidate

You want to make sure you have confidence. Even if in the beginning this means you have to fake it. It’s important to know that you have confidence. But don’t let that get the better of you. Also make sure you have a friendly disposition as well as good manners. The easier you are to work with the more likely you are to get the job. Also remember to be YOU!

Tip #3: Attend as Many Castings as possible.

A casting is a job interview for models (and actors). So the more you go to and can present yourself in a positive way, the more chances you have of landing the job.  Also make sure to show up prepared. Know what it is they are casting for, know what they are looking for as well as what will be expected of you.

Tip #4: Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle

Drink plenty of water ( it will hydrate your skin, as well as give you a healthy glow), get plenty of rest ( to avoid dark circles and heavy makeup), and try and maintain a healthy diet. Eating foods high in sugar, fats and other toxins can cause your skin to not only look dull but break out as well. In the end as a model ensuring you have a healthy natural glow about you will help set you apart, And will help you feel energized as well.

Again remember You are your OWN business. As much as we like to think its about being at the right place at the right time, so much work and effort will go into your career from yourself. So go out there and knock ‘em dead!
