Toronto acting agency- Four habits to improve your acting skills

With acting classes, headshots, books, wardrobe, and more, it can feel like it always cost money to improve your skills. But practicing your craft does not have to be expensive.  Here are a few ideas of how you can improve your acting skills without touching your wallet!

 

1. Tape yourself every day

Just like with any skill, practice is key. A soccer player trains every day, a musician practices every day, and a ballerina dances every day. Similarly, an actor has to practice every day too! Make sure that there is a camera recording you when you practice. Getting used to its presence will make it less intimidating on sets. Watch all your recordings to see what you need to improve.

2. Practice stand-up comedy

To be good at acting, you need to get out of your comfort zone. Stand-up is a very creative craft. You get to focus on who you are and write according to your strengths. You also go over your piece over and over again. There are open-mics all over the city where you can practice performing in front of a crowd for free! It is an amazing way to practice, become more confident, and gain exposure at the same time.

3. Organize a support group and meet weekly

Practice with others like you! Handpick other actors whose strengths you can learn from. Communicate your fears and joys with each other, read scripts aloud, practice improv, record each others work, and watch shows online.

4. Watch TV shows and YouTube videos

Stay up to date with the style of different TV shows and watch YouTube videos of actors that you aspire to be like. Analyze what it is that made you choose them. This will prepare you for auditions as you will understand what is expected of you.

Easy Tips to Stay Fit

Keeping fit is essential to stay healthy and feel our best. It has a multitude of benefits that is not only limited to our physical wellbeing and appearance. It also helps us to deal with stress and have more energy. Yet, a lot of us find it to be a difficult task. 

Today, we are sharing 5 tips that are simple to incorporate into your lifestyle that will put you on the right track to a healthier body. 

1. Exercise Daily

You need moderate physical activity in your everyday life. Our bodies are built to be moving but nowadays, a lot of us spend most of the day at a desk.  Spend 30 minutes to an hour everyday to do your exercise of choice and your body wil be happier. Make sure that you are staying hydrated and stretching to avoid injuries. 

2. Eat the right foods and portion each meal

Start with the basics when it comes to eating healthy and work from there. Avoid sugar, eat your fruits and vegetables, stick to lean meats like turkey, chicken, and seafood.

Pay attention to the portion size of your meals. Go for six small portion meals a day instead of three big portions. This is easier on your digestive system, so you will not find yourself struggle to breathe during your workouts.

3. Get enough rest

Working out and eating well are great, but you also have to let your body rest and recover. Six to eight hours of sleep at night is ideal but if in the middle of the day you find yourself tired, take a short 30 minute nap!

4. Determination and motivation

Set specific goals for your fitness journey, make a plan on how you will achieve that, and stick to it. This will help to keep you determined and motivated to keep going until you achieve that goal. Once you do, set another goal!

kids Acting Toronto- Balancing Career and School as a child actor

For any one who has a full time job and personal endeavors, it is difficult to manage both. It is no different for child actors and models who also have to focus on school work. With school resuming soon, we have put together a list of tips to help you find balance between your modeling career and school!

1. Set a schedule

Have a parent or teacher help you to make a schedule. It is a lot easier to manage your time when you are organized and have your priorities set. It can be difficult to choose between career and schoolwork throughout the day, but if you have time set for both, it will save you from feeling overwhelmed.

2. Set realistic goals

List realistic goals for each week and work towards them one at a time. Start with smaller goals and once you have achieved these, you can focus on the bigger ones. Achieving each goal also helps with your confidence and makes you feel in control of your schedule.

3. Separate school work and career

Do not mix your homework with contracts and scripts. Keep them organized separately so that you have a clean workspace without distraction. This allows you to focus on one thing at a time and switch between them as needed.

4. Take breaks and vacations

Our energy runs out, our mind and body need rest. Listen to your body and take breaks when you need them. A tired mind and body will result in low productivity, so make sure to recharge.

Refresh your mind by taking a vacation or spending time outdoors with friends and family. These are great ways to change the scenery and calm your mind.

5. Give your best at both career and school

If you followed the above tips, you have a schedule, goals and are organized. It will be easier to focus on one aspect at a time. When you are doing school work, only focus on that. When you switch to acting/modeling work, do not think of school work. Keep your focus organized too!

6. Be prepared to face challenges

Managing a career and school is definitely no easy task. Even with good time management and organization, challenges will come up. Be prepared to face it when it happens. A tip is to focus on the reason why you want to model and act, remember the passion behind the task!7

We hope that these tips help you to find a good balance between work and school. Remember to have fun in the process! We wish you a good return to school!
