Known for his powerful voice in theater acting, the 34-year-old classical-trained tenor Arman Ferrer is a man of many hats. From his workout videos to performing different concerts locally and abroad, his dedication to his craft makes him more interesting.
Appearing in numerous stage plays, Arman recently bagged the role of Rama in the latest iteration of 'Rama, Hari.' To which he explained a milestone in his career as a theater actor.
"But personally, ‘Tagistis ng Ulan’, ‘Magbalik Ka na Mahal’, ‘Awit ng Pagsinta’, “Halina sa Mithila’ are my favorites. It's really difficult to pick one favorite because the music of Mr. C, the text of Bien Lumbera, and the choreography of Ms. Alice is so rich, powerful and just beautiful," he said.
"We are blessed that we got the chance to work with two National Artists, maestro Ryan Cayabyab and Ms. Alice Reyes. It's always an honor to be working with these masters. You learn a lot from them, not only by listening to them but by watching them work. Also, when they share stories about their journeys and experiences, those are priceless knowledge they pass on to us, the younger generation," Arman said.
I've worked with Maestro Ryan several times; it's always a pleasure and an honor. I've always loved his generosity and patience when it comes to rehearsals. During rehearsals, you can feel the passion of both of these great artists, and it's contagious and inspiring. I'm fortunate that I was able to work with them. I will cherish this for the rest of my life. Plus, there's always that starstruck/fanboy feeling," he added.
