Carla Abellana gets real on how she prepares for roles

Carla Abellana gave her fans a peek at what it's really like preparing for her acting scenes.

On Instagram, Sunday, the Kapuso actress posted a photo of herself at home, familiarizing her lines by writing it on a manila paper and hanging it on a wall.

"Minsan, ganito talaga ako maghanda para sa mga eksena ko sa trabaho," she wrote.

"Lalong-lalo na kapag mahaba, mahirap at marami ang mga linya ko. Na lagi naman, kung tutuusin," she added.

Carla also debunked the stereotypical belief that actors come in at work and go straight to filming their scenes without studying it.

"Kaming mga artista, hindi kami basta-basta darating sa set para umarte sa harap ng mga camera," she said.

"Kadalasan, hindi lang isang araw, dalawang linggo o tatlong buwan namin kung paghandaan ang mga gagampanan namin."

According to Carla, many people she has worked with mistaken her for being quick in memorizing her lines.

"Hindi nila alam na ilang beses sa loob ng ilang araw ko munang pinag-aaralan ang mga eksena at mga linya ko," she said. "Ganito ako bilang isang artista."
