  Speaker 1: few names. We have Tan Keng Hua, we have Adrian Pang,

• 0:25
  Speaker 1: very proud to say she's one of our own and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: she's making waves on West End and even here in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Singapore as well. Say hello to our guest, Natalia.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Um.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Welcome back home. Tell us first thing that you ate
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: when you stepped back to Singapore.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I, my brain was so frazzled. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: actually cannot remember.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, I know what I wanted to eat,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: but I didn't get it. Chataoui.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, why you didn't get chai tai?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It's not up
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: me. Are you a black or a white person for
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a carrot cake? Black, Black. There we go. OK, hands down.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I'm what they call a Michael Jackson. Oh, you have
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to have both, is it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: OK, so story time. This is actually my third time
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: meeting Nathaniel Ong in person. I think both of us
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: are waiting for the story I'm, I'm gonna throw this
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: back to 2010. YOG Pavan Studios. So I and a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: few other performers alongside Nathaniel Ong, we were recording this
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: closing song. It's by the Beatles. I get by with
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: help from my friends.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Alright, and she actually had two lines solo and she
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: just killed it. And outside the studio, you know, like
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: there's a reflective glass or like a mirror, right? I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: see your dad, and, and, and I remember this very,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: very vividly. Your dad's like, no, OK, inflect here. No, and, and,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and from then on I was like, Who is this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: young girl? And I went on YouTube, loads of performers.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Performances as a child stars and that's why when, when
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I first read about you making it a western, I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, that's the YOG girl. So my, my,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: my very first question is this. Is your dad the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: rock behind some of the decisions and some of the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: steps in life that you've taken so far, and, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: how supportive has he been? Because I remember him doing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: all that for you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Sorry, backtracking slightly back to this YOG situation, there's actually
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a really funny story there as well. So in this
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Beatles thing, so you saw me in the recording session, right?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So after I did like the big number, like of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: because I sang the, the um national anthem at the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: closing ceremony.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And then after that, like no one really told me anything,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I remembered that I that I recorded those two lines,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: but I just didn't think anything of it. Also I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: was like, 12 and I just was not thinking of registering, yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: so I was like, OK, cool, so I left the rehearsal,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and then I didn't realize that they actually like, there
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: was an entire song that came after that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That I just wasn't in, even though it was my voice,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and I think it was like two random guys like
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: walking to my like according to my line and like
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: lip syncing my line, even though they're obviously guys and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it was like a tiny small female girl voice. Yeah,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: so silly silly, but anyway, backtracking back, um.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, my dad is one of my biggest fans and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: biggest inspirations. He was one of my first vocal coaches
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: when I was a young kid, and as you saw
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: from that story as well, he is very meticulous, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like that is something that I've really picked
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: up on um from young and I really carry on
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: through my daily life now.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Um, he also like, he is just my biggest fan
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and I always just feel so supported by him. He's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: actually even known now, I think now one of the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: current associate directors on Les Miserables because my dad is
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: also very vocal on the Les Miserable Facebook group,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: very
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: involved,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and so like they recognize his name and they're like, hey,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: isn't that the dad.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So yes, that's, that's him.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Do do you feel like, you know, in your journey, um,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: there was a bit of that Asian parent situation going
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on because I think the way that Asians parent us,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit different from some of my friends who
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: live overseas, right, or who are not Singaporean or who are,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: they're like, wow, your parents, you know, they call it
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: helicopter parents. I don't know if you know the term,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it's a very Singaporean term. My parents admit that they're
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: helicopter parents because they like hover over me, they, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: make sure that I'm doing this.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: That right? Do you feel like that kind of added
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit of like that spark for you or
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that pressure for you as well at the same time?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Um, I think I fortunately and unfortunately put the pressure
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: on myself. So it's not like I necessarily needed anyone
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: else to give me that extra flair, but I think
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: with my parents, they like it's a bit odd lah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: like they're helicopter parents in some sense, like my mom
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: is a helicopter parent for like fashion and like she
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: says I.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Frown too much, so like sometimes if I'm like literally
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: just in a conversation with her, she'll go, eh, stop frowning,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and then no and then she'll like, she'll reach her
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: thumb and she'll like smooth out like this
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: exactly
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: what my mum does to me as
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: well,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: yeah, and then worse yet, there was one time I
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: was having like a full conversation with her, I think
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: because obviously I don't get to see my mum that
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: often now, so we're on holiday, and like while I'm
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: like speaking, she just starts like ruffling through her bag
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: like while I'm speaking, so I was like, are you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: even paying attention?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But then she takes out a sticker, sticks it on
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: my forehead, it's called a frowny, apparently like the wrinkles
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: are like, yeah, so you just, it just like sits
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: there and then it just like smooths you and then
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you can't move your face. Help me, oh my god,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: so my mum in that sense, but my dad is
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: definitely like, he's more like hands off, like it's like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he's just like lip out, he's just chilling, except for singing,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of course, yeah, but now, now he's more hands off
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: though obviously because like I've I've I've learned a lot more.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of doing my own. You're more mature now.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: exactly. And given how you sang the national anthem at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: 11 going on 12 at the YOG, not just for
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: us here in Singapore but all over the world, I mean,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: does anything scare you anymore?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, so much. Really? Yeah, coming back here
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: was scary.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, I think it's just like, I obviously like, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: pride myself so much in like being Singaporean and this is,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: this is my home as well and so obviously like
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and especially with with the role like
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: This that I really feel changed my life. Uh, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: really just wanted to be a, be able to do
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: it justice, but also like B, to like, you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: make the Singaporeans proud like by by bringing it home.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I just wanted to make sure that I
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: did my best and that I could like do, do
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the country proud lah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Take, take us to opening night because, you know, with
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: such a big show like Les Miserable, right? I think
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of people were in attendance for the premiere.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And we're so sorry we couldn't be there, but you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: we would love to. So what happened was I saw
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: so many people, local artists, um, you know, just people
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that I follow, that posted just videos and pictures of you,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like they didn't even post on themselves, they posted videos
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of you.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And they were saying things like, you know what, it
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: was so refreshing and so wonderful to see Natalia take
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the stage, you know, like, welcome home, that kind of thing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: What was running through your mind? Because with any big
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: sports person, let's say that plays at home or like
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: on home turf or a performer that comes back to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: your hometown, you must be feeling so much nerves at
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that point, right? Take us through those moments.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So I actually um when I saw those like I
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: felt I felt like so many things that I almost
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: felt like I couldn't really process what was happening. I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: also like flew back from China the day before, like
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: my pickup was 4:20 a.m. and then like I was
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: on a flight landed and then the next day I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: had my dress run and opening, so it's like I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: like everything was just moving so quickly, so I felt
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: like almost like I couldn't really process what was happening.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: But then when I saw all of these things, I
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: think I felt so many things, I felt really privileged
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and really blessed that like, you know, people were were
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: actually like taking notice and that, and that they enjoyed
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: my performance as well was was really really special for me.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Um, but also I was just like, I was like, oh,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, but I'm not satisfied. I was like
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I can still do more because I was also tired
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: on those first two days. So yeah, so I like
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: even now I'm still like trying to like up the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: performances and like really trying to just keep it as
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: truthful as I possibly
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: can
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: live on TikTok. We have Natalia Ong, of course, star,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I mean star of so many things and of course
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: she has a stand-alone concert happening very soon. She'll be
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: part of SRT's legal.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Blonde, but currently playing at the Marina Bay Sands Theater,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we got the Les Mis Arena Spectacular. She plays Eponine.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Fantastic on my own. has been trying to audition the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: audacity to sing in front of Nathaniel Ong itself.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: No, I welcome it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I welcome it. You sound amazing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But, you know, at home and amongst your friends, do
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: they attempt to like sing your lines or do anything?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: You know, ironically, like actually like.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: They haven't sung it in front of me, but my sister,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: like her, my sister's boyfriend, she's been like taking sneak
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: recordings of him singing on my own, just like doing
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: things because he also hadn't really seen Les Miserable before,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: so she forced him to watch the movie so he
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: could like get like some context before he watched, like
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: me in the actual show, and then, so just before
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: and just after, it's been nonstop,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the voice notes, the videos, can you imagine,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Natanyia's sister, the sister is Eponine. The boyfriend might be
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Marius in the future, a parallel. OK, so, so on
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that note of singing and given how all three of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: us here, we, we use our voices for a living
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and for yours truly, look, I've, I've had many throat issues, nodules, polyps,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, honestly, I'm dealing with one right now. How,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: how do you take care of your voice, because this
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is the moneymaker for you for sure, in a, in
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a very affectionate way.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of it, yeah, how do you take care of your
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: voice? Um, I think to be honest, I think my,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: my normal, normal things is just like taking care of
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: like my full body because it's all linked, isn't it?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: So I think it's like regular exercise, sleep, making sure
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm getting enough sleep is like a very, very important
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: thing and hydrating enough because never like never ever knock
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the importance of hydrating the vocal folds because you can
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: feel it the moment that you're even missing a little bit,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: um and then also like I avoid,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: very specific foods at very specific times. Don't say spice. No,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: not always, not always. I, I, yes, but not always,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: so don't worry, don't worry. So, um, before a show,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I can't have dairy, um, about 1 to 2 hours
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: before because if not I just get like it doesn't
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: hurt me but phlegm, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you guys like face a similar thing as well. Um,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and then before sleeping, I can't have tomato and I
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: can't have.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Have spice
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: reflux,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: yeah, it's acidic, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think those
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: are the two main things, but to be honest, I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: kind of eat everything. It's not, it's not very particular.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Look, the Asian genes in you will be able to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: take the spice. That's for sure. It's just the reflux
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: at the end of the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: day.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And then it's like worst case, I'll like sit upright
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and sleep like that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: so I don't get one of those pillows that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: sits upright.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Oh no, just, just the back of my bed. I'll
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: just sit
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: on a wooden board, you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, you're at the prime of your life
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: right now, um, and in a few years you'll be 30, right?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: In a few years. No, but that's a good thing
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: because I feel like when you reach, we are both
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: above 30, so let's just, that's a story for another day. Yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it's OK. 10 years apart joking, not me.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Now that you are, you know, in the prime of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: your life, you're, and I don't like to use the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: word peaking because I think we peak at different times
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of our life. What is your next goal, if any,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: because now, you know, you feel like you're at the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: top of the world now, you're achieving, you're achieving so much. What,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: what's next do you reckon like that you want to achieve?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: think that as like a personal goal.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Myself, I think that what I really want to do
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: is I spent so much of like my younger years,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: especially even at the time when that like big video
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: came out, I think I just spent so much time
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: being self-conscious and being shy and like shying away from,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: from like having my voice heard and like and like
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: really like speaking about about anything really, like I would
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: always shrink myself if I was in a room.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: And so I think that at this point, I feel
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: like I finally finally built myself up in enough confidence, uh,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to really just want to showcase like what I have
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: to say and what my sound is at this current
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: point in my life and I think that like, you know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I think maybe it might be mentioned later on but
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: like I am doing a concert at like at the.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: The end of the year and I think that for me,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a really, really big turning point. It's
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: not going to be anything big. The house isn't massive
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: or anything like that. But for me, I think it's
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: really just an opportunity for me to like show people
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: my sound and to sing empty songs the way that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I want them to be sung and even showcase some.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Baby originals that may never, may never ever see the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: light of day, and they will be the secret that
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: me and whoever is in the room with me will share.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Will there be special guests for your standalone concert? Or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: are you gonna keep it very closely wrapped? Don't tell us.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Don't say anything.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I've kicked my dad out.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Cause he did my last concert and it was stressful.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Uh, so I think this, I think this one is like, um,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: it's me at the moment.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Yes,
• 13:18
