My first pantomime was&nbsp;<em>Aladdin<\/em>, when I was four years old. My second was&nbsp;<em>Hansel &amp; Gretel<\/em>, when I was five years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you love about being in the pantomime?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I love being in the pantomime because I get to act and sing at the same time. I love singing. It\u2019s like a fairy tale come true for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You perform a vocal and violin solo in&nbsp;<em>The Emperor\u2019s New Clothes<\/em>. What\u2019s that like?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel really happy and honoured, because this is the first time that I have a solo to perform in the W!LD RICE pantomime. I was so excited the first time I performed it on stage! I told myself to do my best, and to just carry on even if I made a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When did you start learning how to play the violin?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was three! I\u2019ve been playing for five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>And when did you discover that you loved to sing?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I started talking. When I grow up, I want to be a singer. I like singing all types of music \u2013 Disney songs, Broadway, pop, opera and classical! My voice teacher introduced me to operas and classical music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.wildrice.com.sg\/newsletter\/NL30\/06B.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Anne-Sophie fiddles while Seong Hui Xuan tickles the ivories!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tell us about your experience of working on this show.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I like everything about it! It\u2019s really fun and exciting to work with Auntie Pam, because she\u2019s a very fun person. She has a lot of surprises up her sleeve. The actors are really nice. I perform my solo with Hui Xuan, who plays the piano. She\u2019s very easy to work with as a team-mate, so it was very fun. It really doesn\u2019t feel like practising or rehearsing when you have so much fun with everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you think about the songs in the show?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I think they\u2019re really funny, especially&nbsp;<em>Naked As My Butt<\/em>! I also really like the part that I was given to sing, because it\u2019s a preview of&nbsp;<em>Ooh Lah Lah<\/em>, which ties it to the song when it\u2019s performed in full in Act Two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>This year, there\u2019s only one cast of kids, not two. Do you enjoy getting to do the show for its full run?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but the worrying part is if you get sick! You can\u2019t be replaced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you tell yourself just before the curtain goes up?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I tell myself to remember what I have to do, and to remember to improve from what I did in past shows. I try not to make a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you get stage fright?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In my first pantomime, I had really a&nbsp;<em>lot<\/em>&nbsp;of stage fright. During one rehearsal, I was so scared that I ran down the stage to my mom. She told me, \u2018I\u2019m going to put you through this so you don\u2019t get stage fright anymore!\u2019 And now, I never really get stage fright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What have you learnt from being in the pantomime?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve learnt that practice makes perfect. That you can always do better. And the show must go on! In the first performance of&nbsp;<em>The Emperor\u2019s New Clothes<\/em>, I made a mistake \u2013 the shoulder rest for my violin fell on the floor. I just continued playing without it. When I was done, I picked it up without anyone noticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Any parting words for us?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you!!
