Ymaenne just returned home to the Netherlands after an amazing time at iPOP!
The whole experience was just amazing, from beginning until the end. I learned so much and had so much fun. I got to make new friends and got so many more opportunities and doors opened for me which I’m so grateful and thankful for.
Her dream project would be …
My dream project would be a lead role in a big movie or series that will get my name in the open and inspire others to keep on believing in their dreams. If I could book any movie, it would be a lead role in a live action Disney movie or something in the lines of a really popular musical like Wicked. And I would love to play in the Percy Jackson series and Netflix: Wednesday if I could chose something that already exists, because I really love those TV shows, and it would be an honor to work with Jenna Ortega and Walker Scobell.
Her “go to” monologue is …
My favorite monologue to do is the monologue I did at iPOP! and it’s called “Obsession”, because I can show a range in emotions, it’s entertaining and let everybody see what I can do:
“I’m in high school, so what are my interests? Well, my friends say I’m obsessed with celebrities, and I just want to say that they need to STOP SAYING THAT because I only love ONE, THEO JAMES! I know his age, address, where his family lives, and full name! I gave him a little phone call but he didn’t answers because he thought I was some crazy fan but that ISN’T the case! My plan is I will go to his house and ask where the nearest groceries store is? AND THEN I will ask if he wants to marry me! Sound like a GREAT plan, right?”
Her friends might say THIS is her best quality…
My friends would probably say that I’m very sociable, I love people and that I work hard for my dreams and never give up.
Three things people would be surprised to know about her are …
I love baking, I really enjoy my musical lessons, and I love performing on stage.
