<p>Currently part of the cast of the musical <em>Little Shop of Horrors</em> where he plays the lead role of Seymour Krelborn, actor and singer Nyoy Volante said that performing in theater is different from doing acoustic music.</p><p>“Theater singing is very difficult for me kasi sa klase ng music na ginagawa ko with the thing that I do for my career, it’s very soft spoken, kahit na bumibirit ako it’s very placed.  With theater, that’s not the case. Talagang nakabato talaga boses mo and it’s exhausting especially sa kagaya ko na medyo matagal ng hindi nag-te-theater. So medyo nasanay na ako ulit na composed. So ngayon medyo nahihirapan ako na ilabas ulit yung type of singing na ginagawa ko before sa theater,” he told <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com"><strong>PUSH</strong></a> in an exclusive interview. </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-16" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C78cRoUyvMX/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A16%2C%22os%22%3A4051146%2C%22ls%22%3A28851%2C%22le%22%3A29129%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-16" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/6/24/karylle-sue-ramirez-nyoy-volante-share-experience-watching-bawat-bonggang-bagay-024"><strong>READ: Karylle, Sue Ramirez, Nyoy Volante, share experience watching ‘Bawat Bonggang Bagay’ </strong></a></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-17" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7HNvkRStaV/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A17%2C%22os%22%3A4051182%2C%22ls%22%3A28851%2C%22le%22%3A29129%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-17" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Apart from doing theater, Nyoy is also one of the celebrity judges on <em>It&#x27;s Showtime</em>&#x27;s Tawag ng Tanghalan.</p><p>“I was there from the start. One, to be a part of something that’s been running this long and something that’s been considered as one of the premium singing contests in our country, nakaka-proud talaga. Sobrang nakaka-proud. Ang dami ng nawala sa lineup, ang dami ng dumadagdag, but seeing all of that, the prestige of being a part of Tawag ng Tanghalan nandun pa rin eh. So I’m very, very proud and happy and very, very grateful to be a part of it,” he said.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-18" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6BkAvwvjyl/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A18%2C%22os%22%3A4051192%2C%22ls%22%3A28851%2C%22le%22%3A29129%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="879" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-18" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/9/15/videos/nyoy-volante-jed-madela-louie-ocampo-umaming-195761"><strong>WATCH: Nyoy Volante, Jed Madela, Louie Ocampo, umaming hindi madali maging hurado sa TNT</strong></a></div><p>Juggling different hats in showbiz is easy for Nyoy, who said that he values every opportunity that is offered to him.</p><p>“You don’t handle it. You just take it for what it is. Siguro, if there’s one way to handle it, pagka may time ka, magpahinga ka. Kasi kinabukasan pagka work na ako ulit, whether as a hurado, or pag-te-theater, or pag-gi-gitara, alin man dun, kakailanganin mo yung lakas eh. Kaya kailangan mo magpahinga. Yun lang ang preparation talaga. And that’s the way to handle it.</p><p>&quot;You don’t really get a say, especially if you’re the kind of person who’s like me who just looks at work as an opportunity na puwedeng mawala sayo, you’ll always treat it as something na gagawin mo talaga kahit anong mangyari. So, that being said, whenever I find myself na walang trabaho, walang theater, walang hurado, walang kahit ano, I just really want to relax and rest because kakailanganin ko yun the minute na magtrabaho ako,” he explained.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-19" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C8KA4pjyG9-/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A19%2C%22os%22%3A4052039%2C%22ls%22%3A28851%2C%22le%22%3A29129%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-19" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>As a hurado on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime"><em><strong>It&#x27;s Showtime</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong>,</em> Nyoy said that it is not as easy as it seem. </p><p>“Madaling sabihin kasi na nag-de-decide ka lang naman kung sinong mananlo sa kanila. But if you’re anything like the hurados, we take our responsibility seriously eh. We don’t take it lightly. You have to understand na sa kinauupuan namin, we’re responsible for the future of these people. So we try to, as much as possible, to be as fair as we can.</p><p>&quot;We’re human beings, eventually lalabas yung mga kakulangan namin bilang tao. But one thing is for sure, we all have our different approaches, we all have our different tastes. That’s why marami kami eh. Kasi hindi isang tao lang yung nag-de-decide. That being said, of course sa TV pagka commercial, ang nakikita niyo is nandun kami, nag-de-decide, tumitingin, nag-co-comment. Pero hindi niyo nakikita na nagtatalo talo kami. Hindi niyo nakikita na nag-mi-meeting kami na. Tapos pag-iisipan namin. Pati yung staff kasama namin in discussing kung puwede ba kami magpa-tie or something like that.</p><p>&quot;Hindi namin palaging naibibigay yung tamang resulta but hindi niyo talaga masasabi na hindi namin pinaghirapan  yung desisyon. Talagang napakahirap nung kinatatayuan ng mga hurado dahil siniseryoso talaga namin. Kung sa tingin ng mga nanunuod na pagka nandun kami, nakangiti tapos naka-relax, tapos na kasi yung ag-di-discuss namin at kailangan nain magmukhang okay lang, relax lang. Pero sa totoo lang, sa loob namin, mamatay matay kami. Because one, hindi dahil may nanalo ibig sabihin hindi magaling yung hindi nanalo. Pag sobrang magaling, hinayang na hinayang kami so ang kadalasan pagka nakakasalubong namin yung mga hindi pinalad, ang madalas na sasabihin ng hurado talaga is, ‘Sumali ka ulit ha kasi may potential ka talaga,’&quot; he revealed.</p><p>Watch Nyoy Volante in the Sandbox Collective’s newest musical <em>Little Shop of Horrors</em> from Fridays to Sundats until July 28 at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater in BGC with Friday shows at 8 p.m. and weekend shows at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now available at Ticketworld and @thesandboxco on Instagram.</p>
