While Charice shot to international fame because of her powerful singing voice, she recently revealed that she is taking up voice lessons in preparation for her upcoming role as an exchange student on the hit American TV series, Glee. “Iba rin po talaga ‘pag nag-take ng professional lessons, mas madami ka pong malalaman at para malaman mo kung paano talaga i-save ‘yung voice mo. Nakakatulong din po ‘yung diction. From Broadway ‘yung vocal coach, which is totally better than pop talaga. Siyempre nandun na ‘yung stage presence, pag-acting-acting, andun na rin po ‘yung diction. All in one na po siya, marami po akong natututunan, actually.” Charice also said that she has a speech coach to help improve her English. She said that she will begin taping for Glee on July 28.
With all the opportunities that come with international stardom, there are also temptations that could post threat to any career. “Actually, sa lahat ng mga celebrities na mga nabalitaan ko na natukso, never pumasok sa isip ko na baka maging ganun ako, kasi siguro dahil depende rin sa pinanggalingan,” explained Charice, who has been vocal from the very beginning that she came from a poor family. “Sila kasi may-kaya, mga sosyal sila, ‘yung mga ganung type, mas [madali] silang matukso, ‘yung iba depende rin talaga sa friends at mga taong nakapaligid.” Even with her friends, Charice admitted that she is still very careful with her actions. “As much as possible siyempre, hindi ko naman sinasabing ‘yung mga ka-close ko hindi ko pinagkakatiwalaan pero hangga’t maaari siyempre kailangan always be careful baka hindi natin alam ‘yung mga ka-close natin, eh may intensyon pala na baka ginaganito ka na kasi may gusto silang ipagawa sa ‘yo baka ma-tease ka, that’s why importante din talaga ‘yung mga taong nakapaligid sa ‘yo which is very careful naman ako and siyempre ‘yung mga taong nakapaligid naman sa akin okay naman.”
With the sure signs of international stardom, Charice said that she is setting aside her love life in favor of her career. “Wala pa. Hindi naman kailangan ‘yun,” she explained. “Actually sakit naman sa ulo ‘yon, pwede siyang makasira [sa career ko]. Careful lang ako siyempre hindi pa ako nagkaka-boyfriend.” Charice said that she intends to be very careful when it comes to heart matters. “Eh sa mga nakikita ko ngayon, biruin mo andaming isyu nagbi-break up. Ngayon ang hirap makahanap ng tamang guy, very careful ako don siyempre. Kung first time akong magmahal, ang gusto ko ‘yung worth it, ‘yung masasabi n’yong hindi ‘yung gaya ng other celebrities na break na agad parang hanggang ganun lang.”
Charice also described her ideal guy, which she said is difficult to find. “’Yung importante sa akin ‘yung responsible kaya ngayon hindi pa ako ready kasi parang ngayon wala, eh wala ‘yung ganun.”
