Lea's greatest talent is her Diction! She is Asian but she commands the English language better than the average native speaker of English. Anyone can hit the high notes. But only Lea can make it sound like she is just Talking and with the charm of a western accent.

There are numerous countries in Asia where in there are fluent English speakers with amazing grammar. I mean, I'm a Filipino and I'm in 8th grade and I'm completely fluent in English ever since I was in 3rd grade. I earned an American accent when I was in 3rd grade and an English accent when I was in 4th grade. Trust me, live in the Philippines and you'll know that western accents and the English language alone are no joke here in the Philippines, considering that English is an official language in the Philippines. And I'm not even referring to only the Philippines alone

[@undefeated29]

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.

[@eduardochavacano]

Oh please, that wasn't the reason she wore the accent. You wouldn't understand because you don't speak English with the same proficiency.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

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]

actually, as a MATTER OF FACT, when the 19 year old Lea stepped into the audition, she handed a copy of something to a guy and ask for his autograph in a VERY THICK BRITISH ACCENT.

[@punk3388]

Shes is the The top of her class in Grade school and high school in OB Montessori!

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

@@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.

[@Jenigami]

Oh my god. She looks like a very breathtaking princess without any make-up on. And I’m surprised to hear her accent. Her mannerism and etiquette, her eloquence and facial expressions. What an adorable 18 year old she was. Even with her messy hair in a bun wearing “grandma” clothing style lol (no hate though. I adore her.) She managed to pull it off very well! ❤️ edit: hello, didn’t expect for this to get many likes! anyways, i do know her style here was from her Miss Saigon role as Kim!

[@valentineyadao2558]

She performed a song right before this interview hence the costume.

[@H1delta]

It's an olive drab (green) T-shirt issued to GIs who then give it to their Vietnamese girlfriends because more often than not, their wardrobe is limited. Also, it's big on her because most GIs are bigger than the local girls. I was in Nam so I speak from experience.
