Toronto Acting Agency – Modeling Toronto – Tip Tuesday – 8 Tips To Stay Healthy This Summer

Summer is a great time to develop healthy habits and become the best version of yourself. Try the following to blossom this summer.

1. Get Enough Zzzs

A lack of sleep causes high blood sugar, poor focus, increased appetite, and a weaker immune system. Your body resets during your sleep to get ready to function at its best. Make sure you are getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night. 

2. Hydrate

Drink enough water to stay hydrated, especially when you have been spending time outdoors in the heat. If you struggle with your daily water intake, be creative with it. Add some flavor by dropping a few slices of cucumber or your choice of citrus fruits into your water.

3. Eat More Fiber

Vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains are rich in fiber, which helps you stay full, so you are less likely to eat mindlessly. Aim to eat at least 25 g of fiber a day.

4. Limit Added Sugars

Inflammation and imbalances in the body, which can be caused by a high blood sugar level, make you cranky and can lead to more serious issues. While natural sugars found in fruits and milk are not harmful, it is usually enough for our daily requirement. Added sugars are what you should be wary of. Look at the labels of the food that you are consuming and aim to limit daily added sugar consumption to 24 grams. 

5. Reduce Alcohol Consumption

Too much alcohol can cause a lot of harm to the body. Limit alcohol to one drink a day for women and 2 drinks a day for men.

6. Exercise

Do some form of exercise to remain active daily. Moving your body will keep you feeling energized and full of life.

7. Spend Time Outdoors

Enjoy the good weather during the summer by choosing outdoor activities. Being outdoors improves blood pressure and heart rate. 

8. Meditation

Mental health is directly linked to physical health. Take some time daily to medidate and refocus your thoughts. Reflect on the good things that you have in your life and practice gratitude.

Toronto Acting Agency – Toronto Talent Agency – Tip Tuesday – How To Perform Like No One Is Watching

As opposed to public speaking, acting involves performing as if the audience is not there.  Practice our tips to learn how to tune out the outside world. 

Toronto acting agency – Toronto talent agency – Tip Tuesday – Acting Tips
  1. Establish a Fourth Wall

A fourth wall between an actor and the audience is essential to focus on your performance and be vulnerable and authentic. To develop that feeling, practice in public. Start by mumbling your lines while sitting in a coffee shop, for example. The more you do it, the better you will get at tuning out the crowd of people around you. 

2. Watch Your Own Performances

Another method to build a fourth wall is to record yourself and then watch it. We are usually our worst critics, making it difficult to watch ourselves. But being self-aware and recognizing your weaknesses will help you to focus on your performance.

3. Group Practice

Find a group of actors to practice improv. This group activity is a great mix of interacting with the audience, finding characters, and acting. During improv, you have to constantly make and break the fourth wall, until it becomes a habit!

Insider tips, tip tuesday

Model Agency Toronto – Modeling Toronto – Tip Tuesday – How To Pose For Photos

Posing for photos can be intimidating, whether you are taking them for your personal social media page or starting a modeling career. While working with a professional photographer, you will be directed on how to pose, but what about when you are posing on your own without direction?

1. Know Your Angles

The angle of the shot makes a huge difference. Try different angles to see what compliments your features the best and remember to practice them on your next shoot. 

For example, you can accentuate your legs in a full-body shot by having the camera just below eye level and facing slightly upward. For portraits, try a higher angle and snap a lot of photos until you get that sweet spot.

2. Check the Light

Light is your best friend in a photoshoot. Always turn your face towards the light, especially if it is natural light. It will brighten your face, blur out dark spots, and make you glow!

3. Relax

Be calm and relaxed. Your body language will show in your pose if your body is tensed. Remember to relax your body and your eyes, too.

4. Keep a Good Posture

Slouching makes you look insecure and frumpy. Stand up straight to look confident and powerful. It actually makes you feel more confident, so that will shine through your photos!

5. Move!

Especially when taking casual photos, instruct your camera person to take photo burst while you move around while posing. The best poses are actions caught in the perfect timing, and a photo with movement is more interesting.

6. Get Inspired

Look at models and influencers photos to find inspiration. Save for later when you are practicing posing. Adopt the ones that accentuate your features.
