Lea's very smart. At a very young age she new the accent would somehow help her land the role in a UK production. Remember she auditioned with this accent and she pulled it off and they chose her among thousands of aspirants in a worldwide search for Kim. In London, she won the Sir Laurence Olivier Award and would probably have had a brilliant career at West End but the creators of Miss Saigon new she was so talented that they had to bring her to NY as well for the Broadway production of the show where she later won a Tony. She also helped pave the way for other Asians to be considered for non-Asian parts having won critical acclaim as Eponine and later as Fantine in Les Miserables. Meanwhile a few of her untalented countrymen like you see here in the comments section (most likely bitter fans of some mediocre local female "stars") who have never achieved anything noteworthy in their lives continue to bash her about her British accent. Lea has made her country proud by winning the Grand Slam in theater and became a celebrated Disney Princess. She continues to make her country proud and is guaranteed to become a National Artist one day. Still, haters are gonna hate.

She landed the role because of her voice and interpretation. During her audition she used her natural accent which is American since she was trained by Repertory Philippines with theater artists using the American accent. Plus, her mother trained her to use English as her first language in the Philippines even though the mother, Ligaya, cannot speak English with the native-like accent of Lea. She used the British accent in this interview because she wanted to blend in since she can switch accents having the ear for it just like some artists who also have the ear for different accents.

@@eduardochavacano Nope it was not a very thick British accent. However, when she was interviewed in London she switched to a British accent. Lea Salonga is a Filipino GenXer like me and I actually know her family history (today's generation thought she came from a rich family because of her English fluency, but they did not know her struggles as the daughter of a man who already had another family then). My sis was a big fan of Lea who was not appreciated by our fellow GenXers because she was seen as snooty then just like most of her fellow artists in Repertory Philippines for staging Western plays and musicals. She got accustomed to the British accent when she was in London; hence, she used it to blend in with the natives LOL. She actually admitted it in an interview because many Filipinos then criticized her for using the British accent when in the Philippines everyone knew her accent was and still is American since the Philippines was colonized by Americans. My sister became a journalist and was able to interview Lea Salonga in person.

I agree. It's an adaptation thing. I live in the U.S. and I'm Filipino and I've friends from other countries who after spending years here drop their accent when they speak English and don't realize it. When you assimilate into another culture, you tend to pick up linguistics and dialects through social interaction. For an outsider it can be surprising but it has a charming appeal to it to shock people. LOL.

Lea's very smart. At a very young age she new the accent would somehow help her land the role in a UK production. Remember she auditioned with this accent and she pulled it off and they chose her among thousands of aspirants in a worldwide search for Kim. In London, she won the Sir Laurence Olivier Award and would probably have had a brilliant career at West End but the creators of Miss Saigon new she was so talented that they had to bring her to NY as well for the Broadway production of the show where she later won a Tony. She also helped pave the way for other Asians to be considered for non-Asian parts having won critical acclaim as Eponine and later as Fantine in Les Miserables. Meanwhile a few of her untalented countrymen like you see here in the comments section (most likely bitter fans of some mediocre local female "stars") who have never achieved anything noteworthy in their lives continue to bash her about her British accent. Lea has made her country proud by winning the Grand Slam in theater and became a celebrated Disney Princess. She continues to make her country proud and is guaranteed to become a National Artist one day. Still, haters are gonna hate.

She landed the role because of her voice and interpretation. During her audition she used her natural accent which is American since she was trained by Repertory Philippines with theater artists using the American accent. Plus, her mother trained her to use English as her first language in the Philippines even though the mother, Ligaya, cannot speak English with the native-like accent of Lea. She used the British accent in this interview because she wanted to blend in since she can switch accents having the ear for it just like some artists who also have the ear for different accents.

@@eduardochavacano Nope it was not a very thick British accent. However, when she was interviewed in London she switched to a British accent. Lea Salonga is a Filipino GenXer like me and I actually know her family history (today's generation thought she came from a rich family because of her English fluency, but they did not know her struggles as the daughter of a man who already had another family then). My sis was a big fan of Lea who was not appreciated by our fellow GenXers because she was seen as snooty then just like most of her fellow artists in Repertory Philippines for staging Western plays and musicals. She got accustomed to the British accent when she was in London; hence, she used it to blend in with the natives LOL. She actually admitted it in an interview because many Filipinos then criticized her for using the British accent when in the Philippines everyone knew her accent was and still is American since the Philippines was colonized by Americans. My sister became a journalist and was able to interview Lea Salonga in person.

It comes to no surprise why she easily acquired the English accent after only a brief stay in London. She has been performing for Repertory Philippines, the country's premiere theater company doing mostly Broadway and West End plays, from a very young age. A lot of people don't know that aside from Salonga playing the lead, Macintosh and company was also able to recruit 15 other cast members from the Philippines as understudies and members of the ensemble.

Such a beautiful smile. I have heard her sing and she's so incredibly talented.
She’s lovely gorgeous now and then.
This is the most adorable thing I ever saw. How beautiful she was, the way she spoke. I'm in love with a girl of 1989. Silly me.
The 1st time I saw lea on stage was in Araneta colleseum during the sanreo production in 1982 I was 8 and she was 10 I think. Shes very talented and wity.
That accent! ☺️ LEA ❤️
Anyone watching this video in August 2019? 😍 Sobrang ganda at witty ni Ms. Lea dito. No doubt who is she now. Amazing.
I was born this year. 1989 😲 she is really amazing back then and now. Wow!
Ergh, Filipinos are versatile just like that. When I'm in Wellington, I speak with a slight Kiwi accent. When I'm in the Philippines, I speak with an American accent. It's just one of those things... :)

I agree. It's an adaptation thing. I live in the U.S. and I'm Filipino and I've friends from other countries who after spending years here drop their accent when they speak English and don't realize it. When you assimilate into another culture, you tend to pick up linguistics and dialects through social interaction. For an outsider it can be surprising but it has a charming appeal to it to shock people. LOL.

@@queenofswords4499 Many OFWs cannot lose their provincial accents despite being abroad for a long time. It is a talent to use different accents since even Western artists do not have this ear for accents so not all can do different accents unlike Gary Oldman or Daniel Day Lewis. Lea has the same innate talent.

I worked for the British embassy, working in an environment were most of your co workers are British, I never felt the need to change my accent. It felt weird speaking in an accent I wasn't used to. Well to each their own, no hate.
The accent! 😻🤧💖
2021 anyone here? I love how she express herself with those hands and facial expressions how she always does until today.
her witts are as elegant as her voice as well as how she carries herself....im in awe...
I couldn't comment more on how excellent she is as a singer because without a single doubt that she really is an excellent singer. I love watching this interview because her reactions are same reactions on her interviews now; funny, poised and smart. Yes, the accent has changed. She is speaking in a notably neutral accent now but still very well-versed. I think she was trying to speak in British accent here. I dunno but I think so. :) Lea, there can't be another you!
i love Leah Salonga ! love the way she speaks too
