Victoria, first of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for giving me an opportunity to interview you and for giving your time despite your busy schedule.

Victoria always has loved physicals sports like Touch Rugby and MMA; she has played for the German National Team during the Touch Rugby world cup in Australia, and from last few years she regularly practises MMA. Victoria Jancke is happy and outgoing, who is always willing to fight for her dreams.
HOW AND WHEN EXACTLY DID YOU REALIZE YOU HAD THE PASSION FOR MODELLING & ACTING?
I got scouted as a model, when I was 16 years old. I walked my first catwalk for Wella since then I am working as an international model, but deep in my heart I always wanted to be an actress. During university I took theatre lessons, and I learned acting from Beverly Hills Playhouse in Los Angeles. I had my first role in the American short film “Empty Track”, and currently I am playing a role in the Czech Crime Series “Einstein” that will be on air end of 2020. I practice MMA, not only for fun but also for working as a stunt and action actress.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING A MODEL AND ACTRESS AND WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCES IN THE MODELLING AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY?
Whether it is for modelling or acting, I love playing a different character every day. Acting is recalling life; I learned a lot about other people and me during this creative process. About life in general -acting is my art, and I love being in front of the camera. And when it comes to modelling, I always liked talking with other models, designers, photographers and bookers. My two best friends I met while modelling. I love to be creative. For acting my biggest influence and my role model is my good friend Tom Wlaschiha. I love what he achieved with Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and so much more as an actor. But most of all, how humble he stays all the time. He made me believe if you never give up, your dreams become true. He is a true friend who helped me to believe in myself and to follow my dreams as an actress.
HOW IMPORTANT IS PERSONAL BRANDING IN YOUR PROFESSION?
I am my own brand: Victoria Jancke. I think it’s essential to have your own values and beliefs. And as a brand, I can manifest these values and show it to the world. Besides, personal branding helps you to be unique and recognised by the industry especially in the modeling and acting industry this is really important to stand out.
WHAT ADVICE & TIPS WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUNG ASPIRING MODELS AND ACTRESSES?
Be yourself and believe in yourself! Don’t change for anyone. In this industry there will be a lot of people trying to tell you what is best for you and trying to drag you down. There is a lot of competition; you have to be strong. Always listen to your gut feeling and what you really want. And another advice: beauty and talent is different for each person, so don’t be sad if you don’t get the casting and the job. You will get the next one! Always give your best, and one day you will be successful. Never give up – success will come to those who work hard for their dreams and never give up.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR READERS?
My life motto is: “Teamwork to make the dream work”. We are not getting anywhere without the help of others, so let me give you this as my last advice. Dream big, work hard for your dreams and never give up. In order to achieve your dreams, you need to help others, be kind and then success will come to you.
