When local actor Nick Teo was told to go out and speak to the locals when he was in Taipei for an eight-day acting course with other Mediacorp actors, he did not understand the purpose of it.
Speaking to AsiaOne recently on the trip, Nick said that he has learnt to appreciate the art of acting through the course and added that the opportunity was something that he treasured. Nick said that seeing how "cheerful and strong" these people were when describing what they had gone through inspired him as an actor.It motivated him to want to portray a character with similar life circumstances as he felt that he would be very "content" if given a chance to help them "find a voice in the world".Nick said Shaudi also told them that "living their own life is the best experience an actor can have and to constantly upgrade themselves".
Nick shared that in the past when he had to cry in a scene, he thought that he needed to relate the situation back to himself or the role that he is playing. However, in this course, he had once again learnt that acting is not just about him. "Our favourite thing to do was to visit the night markets and we went to Ximending and Raohe night markets together," he added.
