In dance you use every party of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's only so much you can do with a male voice in dance music.
My mother was a dancer, so I like to use the body as part of the instrument of acting.
I actually started acting because I couldn't dance.
I've always known that I wanted to sing, and I wanted to dance, and I wanted to act.
When I'm acting, I'm in a different place, singing is the last thing on my mind, and when I'm on stage, there's no acting at all involved, not even presentation, it's just who I am.
The thing about acting is you have to wait to be asked to the dance.
I think a lot of what you do in acting, and for the most part singing and dancing and everything, is trial and error. It's all about just seeing what works, and if it does, to use it, and if not, to throw it away.
When it comes to acting, you really have to create movement which in some ways is dancing. And dancing, I feel is very important to act as well. I wouldn't put one over the other.
You're being cast for your acting ability. It's not based on the way your body functions. If you're playing a lead in a movie, it's for that character and they'll tailor it to you. In a dance company, you have to fit in a definite mold.
It's something that I learned even before I started acting: the movement, the dance of the body, is very important, and it comes before words.
