Max Agency Talent – Alexander C. – Toronto Acting Agency
Alexander began exploring the world of Television and film when studying at the Toronto Film Academy, appearing as Dracula in the docu-drama Gothic Forensics (2020), Rogelio in the second season of OXYGEN Networks An Unexpected Killer (2021), a number of short films including Kings (2019), Dire Straits (2020), and Stoned Cold Killers (2020), and a background performer in Apple TVs hit TV series See (2020).
His passion for merging drama and technology has led him to create Waking World Productions. He started by making creative videos of live performances, large events, and concerts where he worked with a number of bands and musicians. Hes also worked to create promotional content for numerous clients.
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?

With all the distractions and notifications that we face everyday, staying productive can be a struggle. Work is a part of our lives that gives a sense of accomplishment, an essential ingredient to happiness.
We each have different career goals, aspirations, and personal goals. Whatever you are trying to achieve requires work that can be put off by distractions or just not getting enough time.
As actors and models, you are very likely juggling two or more jobs, with other personal goals. Below are 10 hacks that can help productivity and improve time management. It is time to tick off these goals!
Toronto Modeling agencys productivity tips
1. Plan Your Day Ahead of Time
You are less likely to miss important tasks if you know what you are doing, at what time, and for how long, in advance. You may choose to do this the night before or first thing in the morning. Include even the daily habits that you have so that you do not run out of time.
Having a sense of direction and time by planning ahead will cut the time that you spend drifting away and wasting time thinking about what task you should complete next.
2. Pick the 3 Most Important Tasks of the Day
Not all tasks are as important to complete as others. Highlight the top 3 most important to prioritize. Describe these 3 tasks in detail when planning out your day.
This will allow focusing more on these without drifting away to less important tasks which end up being distractions from the essentials.

3. Use the Pomodoro Technique
Developed by Francesco Cirillo, the Pomodoro technique is a time management method that breaks down tasks into time intervals. It involves working in intervals such as 25 minutes of work with a 5-minute break. After 4 intervals, you can take a longer break of around 20 minutes.
This method is based on research that suggests we can consistently focus for 50-90 minutes. A 5-10 minutes break every hour improves our focus which in turn, increases our productivity.
4. Order Your Tasks According to What Works Best for You!
Some of us prefer slower mornings with the easiest tasks first. Ticking off little tasks sets the right tone for the day and can be motivation for you to tick off the rest of your schedule.
Others, on the other hand, prefer to do the tasks that they are dreading first. Getting those difficult tasks out of the way makes the rest of the day a breeze.
Find out which works best for you!

5. Avoid Multi-Tasking
While it may seem like doing two things at a time is more efficient time management, this can actually do more harm than good. Research shows that only 2% of people can multitask effectively!
Multitasking can mess with your focus, leading you to do a mediocre job at 2 tasks when you could have done those 2 tasks perfetcly if you had focused on each at a time.
6. Keep Away Distractions by using Website Blockers
Social media and other online content can easily distract you from your work when you use the same devices to access both. Website blocking tools like StayFocusd or Freedom can help you avoid these distractions. These tools block websites that waste your time for a time period that you set for your work.

7. Create an Environment that is Work-Oriented
Our environment determines our level of productivity and focus. A cluttered environment creates a cluttered mind. Make your environment feel organized so that your thoughts can be organized too!
You will also gain time by not wasting it looking for things. Clean your desk to make it easier to find what you need. Have a comfortable desk, keep your phone in a drawer (unless you need it to work), make sure you are in a location without excessive noise.
8. Music can help your focus
Research shows that ambient noise like one in a coffee shop helps to boost productivity. A way to recreate that is to listen to music. Experiment with different genres to find which creates the best mindset for you to work.
We hope that these tips can help you get closer to your goals. Now, get to work!
