She’s very ambitious. She won’t stop unti she gets what she wants but I don’t think it’s patterned after a specific politician,” pagde-describe ng aktres.</div><div><br/></div><div>Nanghinayang naman si Iza na wala siyang kissing scene with Derek.</div><div><br/></div><div>“Wala nga, eh. Sayang,” biro pa niya.</div><div><br/></div><div>Ano na nga ba ang nangyari sa pag-aral niya ng acting sa Los Angeles, America?</div><div><br/></div><div>“Hindi naman ako nag-aral ng acting do’n. I took some improvisation classes, I took an audition technique class, speech class. Whatever it is I’m just preparing for my future.</div><div><br/></div><div>“It’s better to be prepared, right? I wanted to explore several things.</div><div><br/></div><div>Bakit pa niya kailangang mag-aral, eh, mahusay naman na siyang aktres?</div><div><br/></div><div>“I always think there’s so much room for improvement. I am not where I want to be as an actress. Marami pa akong gustong gawin at matututnan.</div><div><br/></div><div>“But I’m happy where I am in terms of my growth but I wish I didn’t have to go all the way to L.A. to take classes like that. Don kasi ang daming class na available for actors, dito sa atin wala,” rason niya.</div><div><br/></div><div>Bukod sa hunger for new learnings, gusto rin daw niyang matutunan kung paano mag-audition sa Amerika.</div><div><br/></div><div>“Gusto kong maintindihan kung paano ba dito mag-audition sa bansang ito. Wala pa akong Hollywood agent do’n, I didn’t sign with anyone yet.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Eh, bakit pati American accent kailangan pa niyang pag-aralan?</div><div><br/></div><div>“Ninety-nine percent of the people that I met there said I need to get an American accent if I want to work there. So parang, it’s not something na when I go there, saka ko pa lang mag-aaral.</div><div><br/></div><div>“Kumbaga, ihanda mo na ang sarili mo para sa oras na magdesisyon ka man na I want to go for a pilot season audition there ready ka,” paliwanag pa niya.</div><div><br/></div><div>Palabas na sa May 11 ang <i>My Candidate</i> under the direction of Quark Henares.</div>

Iza Calzado also says she needs to develop an American accent to help her get roles abroad.
