"Kumpleto na!"

Ito ang naging masayang reaksiyon ni Vina Morales nang tanungin siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) tungkol sa pagkakasama niya sa local adaptation of the rock musical, Rock of Ages.

 

Nakausap ng PEP si Vina sa press conference na inihanda para sa kanya bilang isa sa mga cast ng Rock of Ages, na ginanap sa Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences sa Makati Sabado ng tanghali, Marso 23.

Natagalan din bago magkaroon ng lakas ng loob ang singer-actress na subukin ang pag-arte sa teatro.

Ilang beses na raw nakatatanggap ng mga e-mail si Vina tungkol sa audition para sa casting ng mga stage play subalit lagi niya raw itong hindi napupuntahan dahil, "Parang hindi ko pa kaya. I'm not ready." 

Naalala pa ni Vina, "Last year, may isang character na mag-audition sana ako, but I chickened out na naman.

"Maganda sana 'yong character.

"Then, when I was ready after a week, they got somebody na for that character.

"I said, 'Oh no, it's really not meant for me.'"

Subalit nang matanggap niya ang tungkol sa Rock of Ages, agad daw niyang sinabi sa Star Magic ang kanyang interes na mapasama sa cast nito.

"[When] they sent me Rock of Ages, I said, 'I'm doing this. I'm doing the audition!'

"I called Tita Mariolle [Alberto, Star Magic executive], 'Tita Mariolle, I really want to do the audition. I'm ready.'

FIRST TIME. Bagamat marami nang naging karanasan si Vina sa pagpe-perform, inamin niya na sobrang nerbiyos niya nang mag-audition ito.

"Siguro kasi masyadong mataas ang tingin ko sa theater," paliwanag ni Vina, na may taguring "showgirl" sa local show business.

Dagdag pa niya, "I've done several concerts, sing and dance. It's almost the same din naman kasi ito din naman ang gagawin ko, e, sing and dance, 'tapos acting.

"Kaya lang 'yong level na parang, 'Shucks, ayaw kong magkamali.'

    I've always admired Vina because she is a total performer aside from being pretty. Di naman sya nalalaos eh, visible naman siya locally and abroad because of TFC. It's nice to try new things so go for it Vina! Just stay positive and humble and good things will come your way.

    She's so pretty. I can't find fault in her face. She should have tried the international scene. She has the looks and the talent for it. Naburo lang siya dito sa Pinas na mas gusto ang mga mukhang mediocre. Gone are the days of the actresses who look like goddesses. Ang dami ng mukhang ewan. The nice thing about Vina is she is so down to earth, humble and modest. Kahit kelan di ko na nakitaan ng kagaspangan sa pagsasalita at pagkilos. Ang bait pa sa mga fans. I hope this musical would pave more opportunities for you.
