In “First Day High,” teen lead Kim Chiu’s problem is basic: She has a hard time enunciating her lines.
She’s too raw and untrained a performer to realize that acting is communication, so clarity of diction and utterance is of prime importance.
In a number of scenes, we wince as we listen to Kim struggling to make herself understood, and failing much of the time.
This is another example of a young talent being thrust in front of the movie camera before she’s ready to do really professional work.
To be fair to herself and her future career prospects, Kim should take time off to work on her enunciation problem before she acts again on TV or in the movies. With the help of a good diction coach, she should be able to lick her problem in no time at all. And, lick it, she must.
