In a one-on-one interview with Asia’s Pop Heartthrob, Darren Espanto, he reveals that doing jumping jacks is one of the secrets to his vocal stamina.

“I try to train my voice so that its endurance is there by the time of the concert,” Darren shares. He claims that “it also helps to do jumping jacks or to do jump rope while vocalizing just for the stamina while dancing.”

He also owns to taking care of his overall health and says, “I try not to get sick, so I take vitamins daily.” Darren also adds that “My mom also makes me take salabat (ginger tea),” even if he was not a big fan of the spicy health drink but has gotten used to it after he discovered that “it really helps to loosen up the vocal cords.”

Darren also admits that no matter how many times he has performed onstage, he still gets the jitters. “It's just something that has always been there before every show big or small,” and he tries to get rid of it by praying. “Prayer always helps. It calms me down,” says the singer.

In a fun “Express Q&A,” Darren also reveals more personal sentiments and shares some of his “D” favorites. Read on to find out more.

The Early Years of Darren Espanto

Who is Darren Espanto?

The 14 year old teenager mostly known as the contestant with distinct powerful pop voice who performed his own version of the OPM classic hits “Ngayon” and “You Are My Song” and was mentored and coached by Sarah Geronimo in The Voice Kids Philippines Season 1. This stint solidified him not only as a familiar name in every Filipino household but also attracting fans all over the country instantly.

At the age of 2, Canadian-born Darren Lyndon Gonzales Espanto discovered his love for singing. His Filipino parents both had the same passion for arts and music.

But prior to his rise and fame due to his appearance in the said competition, what most people little know was he also joined a reality TV show in Canada back in 2012. YTV’s “The Next Star Season 5” paved the way for his career as a singer and performer. He was the youngest finalist to ever grace the competition.
