Sef Cadayona prefers comedy over dancing

He may be one of the best dancers in the industry today, but Sef Cadayona admits that making people laugh is closer to his heart. The young Kapuso actor, who is a member of Tweet Hearts in Sunday All Stars, is also part of the cast of Vampire ang Daddy Ko and Bubble Gang, where he gets to showcase his comedy skills.

"Comedy, comedy. Kasi ang pagsasayaw, nakahiligan ko siya nung bata ako, pero hindi siya 'yung tipo na kinarir ko or pinag-aralan ko. Though nag-aral din ako pero iba 'yung pakiramdam na binibigay sa akin kapag may mga nagtu-tweet or nag-comment sa Instagram na 'Nakakatawa ka magbakla-baklaan, sana bakla ka na lang.' 'Uy thank you ha!' Mga ganun (laughs)," sagot ni Sef when we asked him kung ano ang mas matimbang among his two talents.

He adds, "Pero 'yung feeling na bata, teenager, matanda, ina-appreciate 'yung pag-arte mo in terms of being a comedian, successful 'yun. Lalo na since only child ako, 'yung madalas ko namang pinapatawa nanay ko, lola ko at stepdad ko. So ngayon na nagkaroon ako ng reach with a bigger group of audience, fulfilling siya."

Sef also shared how he has improved in delivering his punch lines through Bubble Gang, the show which he considers as his "shining, glorious moment." "Kelangan alam mo kung kailan ka mag-exaggerate, alam mo kung kailan ka mag-stick sa script, at alam mo kung kailan ka magiging swabe, pinlanta ko 'yan sa utak ko. Kasi lahat yan nakaalalay, kasi kapag mali daw 'yung timing, malalaylay 'yung joke. Kapag mabilis ka naman masyado, malalaylay din 'yung joke. Kailangan andun ka lang sa gitna."

So what's the very important advice he got from his Bubble Gang co-stars?

"Ang pinaka-number one I think, is do not be funny. Huwag mong pipilitin na nakakatawa ka, gawin mong nakakatawa 'yung sitwasyon, kasi doon makikita 'yung mga reactions ng tao kapag nakakatawa ka or hindi. Sa mga sitwasyon na binibigay sa atin, doon makikita 'yung pagkamali-mali, mga ganyan, at 'yun 'yung matatawanan natin kasi nakaka-relate tayo. Siyempre nandoon 'yung mga facial expressions, lalo na sa akin kapag nagbe-beki," he explains.
