Tiara Yap, 23, Freelance Actor & Benjamin Koh, 19, Student
"Tiara: I joined SMS because I wanted to put myself out of my comfort zone, because you know, monologues, you usually do them in audition rooms but not to audiences so I think that will be a different experience.
Benjamin: I joined SMS because I thought it would be fun. I've never joined a competition using a monologue kind of context, because there's dance and singing, but never an acting competition, so WOW!
Tiara: I think SMS is a really cool competition because, like what he said, it is the first theatre-based competition that's not about singing and dancing, so that's probably the reason why I joined as well.
Benjamin: I think it's pretty creative and lucrative, and actually a great opportunity to brush up on your acting so why not?
Tiara: My challenge, I think, it would be trying to say everything I want to say, but also keeping to the timing and making sure I don't get disqualified.
Benjamin: My greatest challenge is not to panic on stage."
