Tip Tuesday – Hello Sunshine!

#TipTuesday is a series MAX Agency — one of the top Toronto talent agencies  — does every week where we share helpful tips for the industry. This could be tips on auditions, bookings, beauty, fashion and more!

 

The warm summer weather is in full force!  Whether you’re going on vacation or simply enjoying the summer rays of Ontario, it’s important to be aware of the heat!

The sun can be extremely damaging to your skin and hair.  Being in the talent industry, it’s important to be hyper aware of the suns effects.

Here are some tips to deal with the heat:

DONT skimp on SPF!
You need about two palm-size portions to protect your whole body.

DONT leave your hat at home.
Keep cool in the heat by throwing on a hat! A 3-inch brim increases the protection you get from sunscreen alone!

DO take an indoor lunch break.
Duck into the AC for an iced mocha break with friends from 11 am–1 pm! (Thats when the suns rays are the worst.)

DO decode the SPF labels.
Theres a lot written on a sunscreen bottle. Look for an SPF with the term “broad spectrum protection,” which means it protects against the suns most damaging UVA and UVB rays.

DO find shade.
Theres no shame in picking a spot under the umbrella! It reduces the risk of burning, and friends will come hang out on your towel when theyre looking for a place to cool down.

DONT leave home without your SPF lip gloss!
The skin on your lips is extra fragile, so the more you reapply, the more that glossy layer is working to protect your lips from burning and peeling!

DO invest in quality shades. 
Protect your eyes with UV-reflecting sunglasses as you people-watch poolside!

Its important to enjoy this beautiful weather, however, put yourself first!  Take care of your health and looks by following these steps.  Remember, its important to look and feel yourself before attending any auditions, etc!

Tip Tuesday – The Power of Positivity

#TipTuesday is a series MAX Agency — one of the top Toronto talent agencies  — does every week where we share helpful tips for the industry. This could be tips on auditions, bookings, beauty, fashion and more!

 

A positive mind-frame is necessary for any line of work, especially the talent industry!

 

 

While acting and modelling may be daunting at times with auditions, etc., positivity towards yourself and your talent is important.

 

Here are some tips to maintain a positive mind-frame! 

1. Self-Affirmations

Use positive language!  Reinforce positivity within by using verbal language to encourage yourself.  Talk to yourself in the mirror, even if you feel silly, with statements like, “Today will be a good day” or “I’m going to be awesome today.” You’ll be amazed how much your day improves.  This can be incredibly beneficial before auditions to set your mind frame right! 

 

2. Focus on the Present

I’m talking about the present—not today, not this hour, only this exact moment.  While preparation for any audition or casting is important, to alleviate unnecessary stress, focus on the “now”.  By focusing on the present, you hold the power to eliminate negative thoughts brought on from worrying, being stressed, etc.  As #1 states, use self-affirmations to stay in this zone of the present.  

Many of the most successful models today have been through exactly what you’re going through. Everybody (models or not) starts somewhere, and for many models, this “somewhere” is the often challenging road to getting scouted, discovered, and hired as a model.

 

3. Turn Failures into Lessons

Within any line of work, there will be some stress.  Look on the bright side of any experience.  Use any mistakes as lessons to push forward and improve!  Reminding yourself to not sweat the small stuff is so important to move forth.  While you may not be able to go back in time, you hold the power for your future – you can only go up!

“From my short time that I have been with Max Agency,  I have had nothing but good experiences with them. They have been quite proactive with submitting me for upcoming projects.  On my first booking, the information was conveyed to me in a timely manner and included everything that I needed to know for the day.  I had a great experience on the job and my booking agent Stephanie followed up with me afterward to see if everything went well.  I felt very supported by the Agency and thankful to be a part of it.
