Lea may tips sa mga gustong maging singer; Alden, Jennylyn wagi sa 2nd VP Choice Awards

NAGBIGAY ng ilang tips ang international Filipino singer-actress na si Lea Salonga sa mga nagbabalak gawing career ang pagkanta.

Ayon kay Lea, unang-una dapat may baon ka talagang talent at hindi mo na kailangan pang gumamit ng “auto-tune” sa mga live performance.

“If you want to make this a career, at the very least, without the help of Auto-Tune, ha — you have to sing well. This is regardless of the quality of your kind of singing that you do.

“Because you can be Regine (Velasquez), you can be Jaya, you can be Moira (dela Torre), you can be KZ (Tandingan), you can be Sarah (Geronimo), these are all different types of singers with different types of voices who bring something different to the industry, but they all sing well,” pahayag ni Lea sa Facebook Live interview ng Monster RX 93.1.

Bukod nga sa pagkanta nang walang Auto-Tune, ipinagdiinan din ng award-winning Broadway star at Disney legend ang emotional connection ng singer sa kanyang kinakanta.

“That’s the thing. They all sing well. They’re all emotionally connected. You can feel the emotion when they sing.

“You have to be at least that, if you want to make this a career. You have to have the chops for this, have the goods. Make sure you have the goods,” sey pa ni Lea.

Para naman sa mga taong nais lang gawing hobby ang pagiging singer, “If it’s as a recreational activity, I’m not going to stop you. If it’s singing just to be expressive, if it’s just to be creative. By all means, do. Singing can be a very healing force.”

Last month, nag-celebrate si Lea ng kanyang 50th birthday at 43rd year sa showbiz industry.
