Aside from pursuing her singing career, “Pinoy Dream Academy” first grand winner Yeng Constantino revealed she also wants to venture into acting.
In an interview with Push.com.ph, Constantino said she sometimes feels envious when she sees her colleagues acting.
“Open ako to it. Kasi parang gusto ko rin gumawa ng ibang bagay. Don’t get me wrong, mahal ko yung ginagawa ko ngayon. Yung pagkanta, parte yun ng sistema at dugo ko, pero minsan parang may inggit ka pag nakikita mo si Rachelle Ann uma-acting na rin. Si Kuya Erik Santos at Kuya Mark Bautista nag-Maalala Mo Kaya, si Christian Bautista um-acting sa Indonesia,” she said.
Constantino disclosed that she already has a role in mind that she wants to portray.
“Ang pangarap ko gawin na role is kunyari parang yung babae na binubuhay niya yung pamilya niya tapos kailangan niya magtrabaho ng mga trabahong panlalake, kunyari barker ng jeep or parang karagador sa palengke, mga ganung role ang gusto ko magawa,” she said.
“First of all, hindi kasi ako pa-girl, hindi ako yung parang soft. Feeling ko parang makakaya ko yung roles na ganun. Nae-excite ako,” Constantino added.
According to the 22-year-old singer, she is just worried that once she does acting, people might think that she is veering away her focus from singing.
“Minsan actually nahuhuli ko yung sarili ko nangangarap. Dati lagi kong niri-reject yung thought na a-acting ako. Ayoko eh, kasi feeling ko masisira yung craft ko, parang yung pride ko bilang artist kasi iniisip ko songwriter ako, baka sabihin nila hndi ako nagfo-focus sa ginagawa ko. Parang medyo naiisip ko yung mga ganun. Pero ngayon nahuhuli ko yung sarili ko na nag-iisip kung pano kaya kung andun ako sa role na yun,” Constantino said.
The singer said she also wants to start her acting career doing independent films just like actor Coco Martin.
“Doon rin nag-start si Coco Martin ‘di ba? Parang ang dami kong nakilalang artists nagaling sa mga indie films. Kahit nga yung mga mainstream artists, nag-i-indie sila eh. Kasi iba talaga experience pag from indie film, iba yung disiplina. Parang kumbaga sa singing yung teatro,” she said.
