Talent Spotlight of the day, Alyssa M.

Alyssa was only 16 when she met Logan at a Halloween party that her friend was having. She shares, “I had spotted him a few times throughout the night, and we exchanged glances. I knew most of the people at the party but as a slow song came on (Red, Red Wine it was) everyone had a dance partner, except Logan. Whats a girl to do? Well, I walked right up to him, grabbed him by the front of his shirt, and said straight to his face Youre dancing with me and from that song on, we danced the night away.”

Because they did not live in the same city, they saw each other again after almost a year at an all-ages club. “We couldnt deny the magnetism we felt and we danced all night long. Later we talked on the phone (like they did pre-cell phones lol) for 7 hours straight. We talked about everything and anything with ease and agreed to meet the next week at the dance club for our first “date”. From that night on, we have literally been together every day, he transferred to my high school even and we have been sweethearts ever since.”

They have now been together for 25 years with 2 children, celebrating their anniversary on October 26th. Alyssa shares that her modeling career started with a photo that Logan took while they were on a hike together. The photo gained comments on Instagram mentioning that she should model. Alyssa enjoys photography too. While hiking, she takes photos of nature and Logan takes photos of her.

Alyssas husband has always been extremely supportive, especially of her modeling journey. He has even helped photographers by learning how to hold reflectors, carrying equipment, and being there to help Alyssa get out of her head. “He is the best hype man a person could ask for. He always makes sure I have a lot of behind-the-scenes photos from shoots and runways. “

During the Covid-19 lockdowns, it was hard to work with makeup artists and photographers. Alyssa was really missing what she loves doing the most, modeling and acting.

She worked with a makeup artist who was learning but they could not find a photographer, so her husband offered. The shots turned out well, which gave confidence to both Alyssa and Logan.

Alyssa always wanted to do a milk bath shoot, so they tried it on her birthday. The photos turned out so well that they edited the best ones which they sent to Mora Modeling Magazine. Their photographs were published! “It was such a great feeling as a husband/wife team with little experience. “

Alyssa also enjoys makeup and decided that it would be a good idea to obtain her makeup artist certification online. She is a certified MUA!

Since their publication, Alyssa and Logan have had the opportunity to work with designer Suzy Q Jewels and magazines such as Biz & Fashion, Isabella, Proficient, and a second time with Mora Modeling Magazine.

Alexanders Career Goals

“My passion is for both performance and creation, and my career choice has always tried to encompass the two.

My official “Vision” is “Through the creation of visually and psychologically engaging media, or through the embodiment of a character, I seek to explore our place in society by navigating the realities, frailties, and ironies of the human condition

Truthfully, my goal is to perform in and create as many provoking, truthful, and compelling pieces of film and media that deal with the nature of our humanity.

Right from when I was young, I understood the power and influence of film & performance, and I’ve made it my goal to be part of that!”

Alexander C. – Toronto Acting Agency

His vision for Waking World Productions

“My goal for Waking World Productions is to create feature films and television content with influences from a variety of different cultures, styles, ideologies, and even spiritualities – preferably with a healthy dose of humour!

The bulk of the projects I’ve worked on have been freelance content – only just recently have I begun the transition into more self-produced content, including my first short film entitled “Jack”, set to release publicly this month.

I currently have a comedic web series, “How to Be Human” and a genre-bending feature film “(i)F” in development”

What ignited your passion for this industry?

“I remember watching movies as a kid and being so changed by them. I knew it was something I was meant to do.

As far back as I can remember, I wanted to act. I was even The Littlest Elf in daycare! But by the time I was in high school, I discovered a new passion for writing and directing as well.

I eventually attended school for theatre and transitioned into screen-acting post-graduation.”

Toronto Acting Agencys talent, Alexander C.

Were you always a creative person, or is that something that you have developed with experience?

“I’ve been told I was – The sort of kid that could find a way to have fun with a rock haha. But I definitely remember making a voice-over comic with my best friend using PowerPoint when I was in grade school. It was terrible, but it happened.

I always had a passion for photography, and after University I worked with a friend hosting concerts & music festivals where I could really explore the creative freedoms of producing video content.

I’ve always enjoyed writing and sometimes I can be pretty okay at it. Don’t ask me to draw though…”

What advice do you have for those who have dreams like you but are afraid to take the first step?

Just do it. I mean, what is there to lose? Maybe you’re back where you started, maybe it’s the best decision you ever made?

Andrew enjoys spending time outdoors and exploring nature by going on hikes. Travelling is important to him, to experience various cultures and lifestyles. “The world has so much to see and offer. It’s a beautiful place. “

Andrew Z. – Max Agency Talent – Toronto Talent Agency

“I enjoy music and dancing too (although I’m not the best dancer nor singer). I’m a huge advocate of live music and you can find me at concerts whenever I can be dancing away the night absorbing the euphoria of energy they provide. Whether alone by myself or with friends, it is one of my favourite things to do and brings me so much joy.

Another form of art I enjoy is writing. When I feel inspired to do so, I like to write poetry as it is a great way to express emotion and feelings. ”

Below is a poem that Andrew has written:

Our lives can be seen as like that of ship amongst the seas. No one person travels the exact same path – no one journey is ever the same. Things can be great, clear skies and full speed ahead; but when adversity strikes we are put to the test. You can fight the wind and be stopped dead, or adjust your sails and turn your head. With each battle we learn to adjust, from pain comes growth, go on we must. Don’t let life be derailed by stormy gusts, in yourself you must trust. Accept that we cannot change the wind, only the direction we sail our ship in. You are the captain of your own vessel – choose how you wish to steer for you are special. Become a master of the seas and your life will flow endlessly. 

Andrew Z. – Male model – Toronto modeling agency

“I want to find my place in the world doing the things which I love and am truly passionate about. Always learning and always growing. I will one day become successful in doing so and I can’t wait. I am excited for what the future holds and will take grasp of any and all opportunities which come my way. I am a yes man and I am ready to say yes to living my dreams.”
