I think he'll he'll be quite fine. So starting on the far left. We have Aika Mochia She's actually acted on a program called trap house which shows on NTV Not only that she's a blogger and an entrepreneur curry Busan Amis Mocha and our man in the middle over here is mr. Victim Safi He's an actor a comedian and actually has made appearances on the Churchill show Last but not least is a beautiful and wonderful miss Christine Muda is he better known by all her friends and also her stage name Tina She is a commercial model an entrepreneur and an actress and last year. She was actually on a show called Baba y'all So you guys we've got some big folks on our stage today here. That's cheesy man That's cheesy up on Y254. We're not playing around curry bunny sauna. Thank you. Yeah, and so actors Let me start very simply by asking The most wanted question how does one get into something like acting? How how did it happen for you? How did you wake up one day and found yourself on Baba y'all or in Churchill or on trap house? How did that happen? Okay? First thing I think is passion. You know when you have that drive The motel you might close up. Yeah, the motive in you and the drive Okay, you are not just go start acting when you know, there's nothing. Yeah driving you to that point Yeah, okay, then actually the auditions if you know you can act you should look for the auditions anywhere Yeah, anywhere. So that's the starting point. Yeah, because I know there's people who'd love to act But they don't know how to begin. Yeah, sure. It happens. It happens. Yeah, it happens. It's normal actually It's normal. Yeah, so that's how I see do you have anything to say about that anyone else? Yeah I think you have to be proactive You know because you can just you just can't sit in the house and wait for auditions to come Yeah, cuz we can then auditions it a come so and then you have to be Put yourself out there and then when you go for auditions be ready for that. Sure. Like if you want to be Let's say a slick in the in the chapos. I am a slick win. Okay. Yeah So you have to look the part and then you go and then you just do your best, okay? And then you pray You have to pray and ask God to guide you. Yeah, I like that. I like that anything from our man Oh, first of all, it is not fair because the men's conference is still on I knew I knew that was going to come up You're on the spotlight. Okay. Oh first of all Acting is something I can say it is easy easy very easy, but the problem is to maintain it to be there I'm not acting. I'm a comedian. Yes. I don't want is and check as I and I can laugh to my loudest, but How will you maintain it? That's how will you be there some months to come? I will be there some years to come or are you just there and fading away? So it is this is something that is passion. It's something that's it driving you So just look at where you're going to where you come from and just as my sister just say she's in Valentine mode Yeah, okay, I see well, you know, I've noticed that what you've said is something to do with first of all You have to have passion. You have to have drive. You have to know where you're going I don't only that on top of that you have to maintain Yeah, I see so it's all by the way Valentine's yesterday. What do you guys do? I have to ask I'm a little bit too Okay Okay I'm less to We're together Yeah, yeah I was busy. Yeah, I was running errands So you know you have to be yourself. Okay. You had a life Actually yesterday. I was also conducting. I was hosting a show We were hosting a Valentine's show an event led by JB event Mm-hmm. I just had an incident I wish I could have known that you that much and go and invite Sure, I would have loved to come by the way. Yeah, we have yeah, and Khalifa by the way Aren't you to say welcome to our guest? Karebuni Sana But me but only come with your Valentine And be a Valentine today I Okay, me what I do imagine I was just at home literally yeah me I spent mine at home Okay, I don't really believe in Valentine's, but let's just move on Well, you have something to say have something first of all I'm gonna make a jay so I'm getting my DJ's See something do my name was a mission. I'm trying Actually, I was to go to Valentine's yesterday, but what happened? Oh, I go near or tagged me that Dending men's conference with victims of and one million others So are you serious? Yes. So there was that event that you are interested to attend men's conference Accidentally pressed interested accidentally. Yeah, right By the way, you're comedian as well Let me ask you something when it comes to things like acting and comedy Is it something someone is born with or something someone can nurture? You see first of all what happens? You realize whom you are when you are at tender age After realizing what you are You nurture it and you practice on it You realize you are a comedian when you are still young you can just realize that You see I'm funny because when I was in Class seven I had a guy called Benz on the brown Took a talk at what I even tonight, I was watching what one answer to check Oh, really? I was like, oh I don't have to worry about money. They were just laughing because they knew this person What can suck one game is just so I tried this is this can be my profession So let me dwell in it. If that's the case and people saw that in you Why why the why the few number followers? That was a problem with my channel I had some hiccup some years back. That's why I'm here. Do you mind straightening so the camera can okay? I'll have some hiccup. Okay. Share that with us, please Oh, it is so emotional. I can't share it now because uh, oh, okay But I'm now doing media to are telling my fans that don't worry. I'm back There was a lot of trouble I was going through right and that it affected you So god is great. That's good. I'm here today. Oh, polisana polisana and um, let's talk about now Pass the mic to her. Please kiddo go I'd like to get your point of view on how you feel about acting. Is it something I can nurture I'm not an actress. I'd love to act though I mean who wouldn't love to act runona because it gives you a chance to be someone else Runona if you're not acting you're always yourself all the time Or at least I hope you're yourself But you know acting gives you a chance to play a different role Sometimes it the complete opposite of yourself like you can be a good girl like this and you're told to play the most evil Madara See what kind of a woman and you really have to tap into that. So I have to ask you Is it something I can I don't know go to classes for and learn or is it something I really have to be born with Okay Okay, acting is fun. Yeah, very fun But a challenge comes where you're being told to play maybe a particular role Maybe say maybe let's say a romantic scene and you're not comfortable in that scene. Okay, but now this is your social media Okay, but now I think because acting is you You don't let that thing go So you have just to put yourself into that character Yeah, and be that girl that beach that person. Yeah And you have before you go just we have training at least you have to give yourself Or like 30 minutes Rehearsed Put yourself into that shoe Then that that character will just come out. Okay. Yeah sour sour Can I add on that? Yeah, please. Yeah, so I feel like acting you can actually nurture it Really? Yeah, because um, I started acting when I was in class three. That's the first time I went on stage Oh, it was such a fun experience. I remember I was doing a role and I was sitting down in a restaurant taking juice And I don't know so thirsty And then the juice poured on my top I was like Kind of like became a character I think we will notice Audience but you know You just move on but as you grow and as you grow you become even more better and better Like the point you said about you're giving a role that you really aren't In trap house. I am a mean girl. I am so so mean. I was going to ask you that role of yours compared to Are you so sweet? Exactly so you have to tap into that character you just have to You have to analyze and understand the character like my character She's so mean. She's bullies this girl She's just a bad person. I don't know why she's just a bad person And so on on show on the show and how I am right now Two different people two different people Yes, we don't mix But then you know, you have to if you love acting trust me you can do any role as long as you Just put your mind to it. You can even act as a word. I've ever acted as a guy Oh, yeah, that dude and it went it passed called for tea. So you can Wait for tea I wear I wore a cape and Baggy trousers and I was just you know And I killed it and I killed it that that was actually my best performance on stage play So you you can be an actress Ah, I can actually go and nurture it. Yeah, thank you. I'm glad there's some hope Yeah, yes, and that's how it goes because uh when you are acting any role you can't play Any role you can't play because uh, I'm blessed You're blessed Wow No, I changed my voice. You changed your voice I really admire that about acting that chance to become someone else just for a couple of hours Yeah, it must be And so, um victim Safi as a comedian. What what's your how can I say? Does it also take the same kind of tapping into because sometimes I see comedians some of them who may be Like Tyler Perry who prefers to do the female roles like madia etc Tapping into something like that something so opposite Guy me by the time I even if you do watch to me and you tell me now You're going to act like a man. There's somewhere where I'll slip because I'm just a chick at heart Does that happen? Okay, first of all You have been notified before This is what you will do. Okay. So me at home there After eating you have to practice that you have to know I'll build this I'll be doing this. I'll be doing this so that you don't get confused on the setup Okay I am going to ask is not that Something big deal the way you think it but to act in any role you can to act in like anything you can't For example, we act like a chakra You just practice and do it Stop into your inner self and do it and do it Can I ask a very awkward question? Because we're going to be playing a game afterwards But when it comes to the lovey-dovey scenes. Yes, the kissing scenes How does that pan out for you people? How do you feel? Is it do get uncomfortable or are you just like, yeah, whatever this is work. We're just working Let's do this. Even if you have to do like 10 takes How do you how do you handle such a situation? Does it get awkward or is it something? Like oh, this is my career. This is my job. I don't feel nothing Yeah, well, I've personally I've never gotten a role like that. Okay, so I can't really comment about it Have you okay personally? I have and there is a movie. I'm shooting next week Oh, it has a kissing scene. Oh, yeah Okay, it's so romantic the script itself Okay, as much as you have a boyfriend It's not comfortable because that guy's going to watch you. Yeah, and Okay, you know sometimes What happens behind the scene? As I okay according to you you may think like these people are having something Maybe I've gone to for a shoot for three days or maybe even more than three days Then you're shooting that romantic movie Tell me how will you think and you're my boyfriend? I feel jealous. I'll be jealous. You'll be jealous, right? Yeah, simple. That's where we go wrong and okay Okay, I would just advice our boyfriends or whatever they are if you have that is They just be understanding these are all you might kiss someone but there's nothing like in touch There's nothing connected You know, I'm glad you brought it in because I was going to ask after this question I was actually going to ask what if I'm in a relationship with someone and and I have to do a kissing scene And in this world of acting I can imagine you people are very attractive all three of you And I'm sure as you people continue to watch you on set on tv That people were like wow, she's so pretty or wow. He's so handsome something like that and they get drawn to you And sometimes I'm sure your social media can go crazy because of that And that's why I was asking because I was thinking to myself How do you balance? I won't ask if anyone is in a relationship, but let's say you were to be in a relationship How would you balance that relationship? Slash the kissing scene slash the crazy fans telling you things that your boyfriend or girlfriend would not like Okay If you're not comfortable with starting role You better just tell the director the producer to hand it someone else. That is if you are the one you're not comfortable But what if you're dating someone who is not comfortable? What if? Okay, sometimes we do sacrifices Okay for the sake of our love Oh sacrifice. Yeah, wow But then our love also should do sacrifice. Yes knowing that these are career Yeah, so I have support my girl and Nothing like Jill support her just normal Okay, and before we get the man's opinion, let's hear from One word communication Yeah, communicate with your partner if if you have a partner and okay And as a man your girl tells you baby. I'm not okay with that. I'm not cool with you kissing another woman I don't care if it's your career. I don't care if it's in your script Okay, I don't see something awkward with that Because this is something like job this profession this what she likes is the role she has been given Me as a man I have to understand. I cannot sit there and tell her that tell the producer Tell whoever who is in charge of that that you are not comfortable with that role What's that you are acting you are not doing that if the girl loves you she loves you She decided to kiss and that's what she is Yes, that's what she will be so So long as an Avanya getting a letter or whatever a role she's been given I'm comfortable with that You're comfortable with that. I'm comfortable with that. Okay, I see that's good. That's good Our men when I chanooka nowadays there was a time when People were not comfortable with that. So let's jump into opinions when it comes to family Yeah, how does family feel about the acting scene because I know that This being Africa we have parents who tell us I expect you to be a doctor and engineer. You know those stories. Who hasn't had those stories You know, I wanted you a nurse, you know, or a lawyer or something So how did they feel when you walked up to your parents? You're like, so mom dad, yo Sorry about the books, but me I'm an actor and this how it's gonna be How did that go? I think it's about you have to show them that you If you love acting then, you know, you're going to do whatever it takes, you know So like for example, I started communications in Deistah. Okay. Yeah. Oh me too. Oh, you did. Yeah So anyway, um, or not a Deistah, but I studied communications. Okay. No, I'm I'm in Deistah though For my masters. That's nice So I think you just have to show them that You know, you're doing what you love Because trust me if you wake up in the morning if you're working up at if I'm working up at like three And I'm told I cut in it funny scene. I'll wake up and I'll go and I'll kill that scene because acting is what I'd love to do You know, it's in my it's in my blood Running through waving. Yeah. Yeah, but also If you can do both if you can balance that's that's very okay You know, if maybe you did if you're an engineer and you can also act. Why not? Why not if you're a lawyer and you can Yeah, why not say I think it depends with you personally You can balance Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. Now this being social friday on why in the morning We're going to play a game with our actors and this game is called act the part It's very simple since your actors all you have to do is literally act the part stack your corner use of faces This is your this is your career.
