For the first time ever, Yeng Constantino is starring in a film. Write About Love is one of the entries in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.
The singer believes it is possible to delve into acting while being a singer.
“Siguro nakakatulong din yung pagiging singer namin. Kasi po pag kumakanta kami nilalagay din po namin yung sarili namin sa kanta. So in a way it’s also acting,” she said in a report from Pilipino Star Ngayon.
“Pero iba rin po yung nagde-deliver ng lines na walang melody at saka aaralin mo talaga yung karakter mo sa pelikula. Feeling ko nga yung mga co-singers ko sa ASAP, kaya din nilang umarte, kaya nila ito,” she explained.
If given the chance, Yeng admitted she wants to continue acting in front of the camera. The singer-songwriter said she can pursue an acting career along with her singing career.
“Sana po after this film ay makitaan po ako ng potensyal ng ibang production houses. Mag-o-audtion po ako ulit kasi nag-audition po ako para sa aking character dito eh. Hindi po ako titigil kasi I found it talaga na parang nagin passion ko na rin ito,” she said.
Meanwhile, another singer started her acting career. KZ Tandingan along with Epy Quizon starred in romantic comedy film, The Art of Ligaw. Yeng admitted she couldn’t comment on her friend’s acting because she has yet to watch the film.
“Hindi mo makukumpara kung sinong mas magaling sa amin ni KZ. Nagbasa din ako ng mga write-up tungkol kay KZ, bilib talaga yung direktor sa kanya. Hindi ko nga lang napanood kasi nawala sa cinemas. Kasi ang dami kong ginagawa. Pero even sa manager namin, sinabi nga na ang galing-galing ni KZ doon. Sobrang natural lalo na yung timing niya sa comedy,” she shared.
