Showcase Saturday – Dorrel B!

Welcome back to Showcase Saturday here at Max Agency —  a successful Toronto talent management agency in Canada representing menwomen and children.

This week we will be featuring the hardworking and driven, Dorrel B!

An introduction to Dorrel:

“I am Jamaican by birth but now I am living in Canada, soon to receive my citizenship. Prior to moving to Canada, I have lived in America for several years and for a short while in England. I am a Paralegal and major in business, corporate and immigration law.”

How he got involved in modelling/acting:

“I always thought modelling/acting was for much younger people, like people in their twenties or early thirties. I never thought anyone forty or over would be accepted into the industry, but my wife Arlene and my sister Sharon kept telling me to give it a try. My wife one day jokingly submitted my application to a few modelling agencies and sure enough in less than 30 minutes the phone kept ringing (smile) from a few agencies but I chose Max Agency and the rest is history.”

His experience with MAX so far:

“I must say my experience working with Max has been pretty awesome and wonderful. I have learned so much about the industry through Max and I am very grateful and really appreciate the experience.

I was booked to participate in shooting the Jessie Reyes music video “Body Count”, this was not my first video shoot, but it was “awesome” and remains to date my most memorable experience on a shoot.”

Watch the video below:

How Dorrel spends his free time:

“I love the outdoors, I mean I am a literal fanatic for wild life, water, trees, visiting parks, hiking, swimming, hitting the gym and going to the movies. I love to read (non-fictions) and very eclectic when it comes to music.”

Best advice for someone starting in the industry?

“I have seen, heard and learned a lot from working in the modelling /acting industry so far and my word of advice to anyone in the business or planning on coming into the business is don’t take anything said or done at auditions or on set personal. Once you have learned to master that art then you are on your way to success.”

Final thoughts:

“You are never too old or too young to discover the wealth of talent and skills that you have. Don’t judge yourself base on race, ethnicity or colour, just believe in yourself and God and just do you…the modelling/ acting world awaits your arrival.”

These are truly wise words from Dorrel! Some of our most successful talent are over 30 or over 50 even! Dont let age scare you from pursuing modelling or acting if that is something you are considering taking up.

Showcase Saturday – Vail K!

Welcome back to Showcase Saturday here at Max Agency — one of the top Toronto modeling agencies in Canada representing menwomen and children.

This week we will be featuring the lovely and driven, Vail K.!

Vail was born and raised in Orangeville, Ontario. Her friends would describe her as funny, quirky and smart.

Ever since she was young, Vail never really felt like she was good at anything in particular, even though she would try sport after sport. From a young age, she knew that she didnt want a regular 9 to 5 job like everyone else.

She wanted to do something she was good as and that she enjoyed doing. Vail excelled in drama class and would even get annoyed when her classmates did not take the plays seriously. That is why she decided to pursue acting professionally by signing with MAX.

Vail spends most of her time working her part-time job and still attending her last year of secondary school. During her free time, she likes to be with her friends and family.

She is hoping her time comes soon to begin working and experiencing more of the acting and modeling world!

If you would like to hire Vail or one of our other talents for your upcoming project, get in touch with us today: http://www.maxagency.com/contact.php

Showcase Saturday – Jasmine L! – Toronto Talent Management Agency

Welcome back to Showcase Saturday here at Max Agency —  a successful Toronto talent management agency in Canada representing menwomen and children.

This week we will be featuring the multi-talented, Jasmine L!

An introduction to Jasmine:

“I’m from St. Catharines Ontario Canada. I went to a musical high school called Laura Secord Secondary School. I’ve played elite sports all my life. My first year of university was in Baltimore Maryland at Coppin State University on a full ride volleyball scholarship in Division 1 of NCAA. I also did pole vault and hurdles in
the states at the D1 level. I returned home last year to play on the best collegiate team in Ontario at Humber college!”

“This year I am taking the year off to focus on my music and acting career! I’ve sang in Toronto jazz clubs such as the Rex! However; lately I’ve been singing more pop/rnb music because that is where my heart is at!”

Why she chose to pursue modelling/acting:

“I got into modelling and acting when I was about 6 years old. My mom had me entered in many talent and modelling competitions and as a result of that I was scouted to an acting agency. Since I chose to become an elite athlete I didn’t have the time to get back into it. This year my life has taken a turn for the better and I’ve decided to pursue my true passion and join an agency because life is too short
to not be doing what you love!”

Her experience with MAX so far:

“I haven’t been with Max for a while and I just started going to auditions. However; Max has been very supportive and everyone there seems like one big happy family that I’m blessed to be a part of!”

Favourite things to do in spare time:

“In my spare time I play guitar, piano, drum kit, dance. I love to sing and draw. I play volleyball and also basketball. I love to workout. I enjoy going to open mic nights around Toronto and singing my heart out for anyone who will listen!”

Advice for those in the industry:

“My advice for anyone pursuing their passion in the music or acting industry is that you need to be 100% authentic. Be yourself. Now a days people are looking for a unique sound or look and there is nothing more unique then someone being their own authentic self.”

Some other interesting facts about Jasmine:

“I was captain choreography of my high schools competitive award winning hip hop dance team for 3 years in a row! I also spend a lot of my time supporting the lgbtq community! Alongside, supporting the movement towards providing more assistance and tools for those who suffer from mental health issues.”

At Max, we love to represent people with so many different talents and interests like Jasmine. Having special talents outside of acting or modelling can actually help you land those auditions!
