Showcase Saturday – Ruchi W.

“Make demos in high school, do anything acting related that you can, so that when you are in the position to show it to someone that can work with you on getting into the industry, you have all the materials for success.”

 

Welcome back to Showcase Saturday here at MAX Agency —  a successful Toronto talent agency representing men, women and children.

This week we’ll be showcasing the amazingly hardworking talent on our roster: 

 Ruchi W!

An introduction to Ruchi:

“I was born in California but then moved to Nigeria. My family is originally Nigerian on my mum’s side, so we lived there for a while. When I was 9 years old, I went to boarding school in Switzerland and lived there until I came to Canada a few years ago for university.

It is difficult to specifically pinpoint a place that I am from, as there are people who are genuinely from these countries that I have been to at different stages of my life, and lived there all their lives. I love having been a part of so many different cultures, as I can relate to people from different areas in the world.

I am an actor, singer-songwriter and producer, and have been working on my craft since I received a piano at the age of five. It’s a great experience to bring all the cultures I love around the world into one piece of art. I am also a film writer; I have written a few short and feature-length films, and am working on getting them made. I got into film writing because I enjoy being involved in all aspects of the creative process.”

How did you get into modelling/acting?

I got into acting through watching a lot of television as a child and enjoying the process of being able to play someone completely different to you. I then got into theatre when I was nine, and eventually made the transition into film and TV when I was 17.

Acting always felt like a job that I could see the results from hard work being put into a role, and entertain other people while doing so. Thus far, I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have seen.”

How has your experience been with MAX?

“MAX has been very kind to me since I got with the agency. They treat all their talent fairly and give us the attention we need.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

“I write films, produce/write music and play video games during my spare time.”

 

What is your dream role?

“Probably a role on one of the films I’ve written, or a lead role in a long-lasting successful movie franchise or TV show.”

Best advice for someone looking to get into the industry?

Do as much of it by yourself/with friends as possible. Make demos in high school, do anything acting related that you can, so that when you are in the position to show it to someone that can work with you on getting into the industry, you have all the materials for success.

“Your voice is your ambassador to the outside world,” Norman Hogikyan.

 

#TipTuesday is a series MAX Agency — one of the top Toronto talent agencies  — does every week where we share helpful tips for the industry. This could be tips on auditions, bookings, beauty, fashion and more!

 

This week’s tips are based on How to Keep Your Voice Healthy in honour of World Voice Day!

Allow yourself to take multiple “vocal naps” throughout the day to rest your voice, especially on days with excessive use of it.

Keep your vocal cords lubricated by drinking a healthy amount of water throughout the day. Avoid drinking liquids that include caffeine or alcohol.

Dont abuse your vocal cords which excessive yelling or screaming.

Clearing your voice slams your vocal cords together which could cause injury so avoid doing it too often.

More #TipTuesday!

Dont smoke. Smoking increases your chance of developing issues with your throat and vocals such as irritation or cancer.

Check out past weeks Showcase Saturday articles!

How did you get into modelling/acting?

“As an engineering student, I did not have a lot of time to socialize and as an extroverted person, it was bothering me.

I also wanted to challenge myself and start something that I always wanted but was too shy to do and thats how I got more serious about acting and modelling.

I remember a friend of mine wanted to start freelance photography and asked me to be his model and after doing that I loved it!!

Thats how I started to search for agencies and heard about MAX Agency.

So far, I love my experience. I got to meet a lot of great artists and get involved with a lot of new communities.

How has your experience been with MAX?

“So far, I have had a great experience with MAX. I love the fact that they are honest and put effort to find the right auditions for me.

One of my memorable moments was the first day of the MAX Agency acting classes. I was really nervous and did not know what I should expect.

When it was my turn to introduce myself and act a bit, I was really nervous but after I was done with my part, I loved it. I felt like a new part of me was born.”

Check out the auditions Behkish has had here!

What do you like to do in your spare time? 

“In my spare time, I like to write short stories, read about different subjects and hang out with my friends and family.

I also enjoy modeling for freelance photographers since I get to meet great people and share many ideas.

What is your dream role?

My dream role is actually to play myself in a movie about me.

But, beside that I like to play as a computer hacker because that is very similar to what I study at school.”

Best advice for someone looking to get into the industry?

The best advice is to be yourself and do what you dream for and makes you happy. Dont listen to others and do what your heart tells you.”

Final thoughts:

“I like to add 3 quotes that motivate me a lot:

1. Be your own hero

2. Everything will be okay in the end. If its not okay, its not the end.

3. If you dont build your dream someone will hire you to help build theirs.”
