thinking long degrees
I don't think I would've been performing this long if I didn't love it sincerely to the degree that I do. It's not enough to like it. Dilettantes like things. Professionals love things and I consider myself a professional.
dna filipino turns
It's in your DNA to be a Filipino; how can you just turn your back on it?
running teacher strong
My singing technique is really strong and I have to thank my teachers for really instilling a sense of discipline about how to sing properly and how to maintain your voice in a run.
teenager order voice
I took some voice lessons here and there as a teenager but nothing too serious. I started taking it more seriously when I was in Miss Saigon. I needed to improve my technique in order to survive doing that show as many time a week as I was doing it. It's not an easy show to sing, so I needed all the help I could get.

I can't be an ingenue forever, and I wouldn't want to be.

Don't expect a pat on the back for merely doing your job, but know that you'll get one for doing it exceptionally well.

'Allegiance' is pretty much a book musical. You know, people talk and then they burst out into song.
