When Edenis S\u00e1nchez recited poems, sang and played some role as a child, she did not imagine the popularity she would have as she grew up.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, today she is one of the most recognized faces of Cuban television and has proven her versatility as an actress from her work as Alel\u00ed in the popular soap opera \u201cAl comp\u00e1s del son\u201d to her sustained role as the instructor Susel of the police series \u201cTras la huella.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What was happening in your life when you got the first character on TV?<\/b><\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t decided whether to commit to acting or leaning towards dance, which is another of the manifestations of art that I love, and I was in a stage of search, of changes, which had its final outcome when I was proposed the character of Alel\u00ed.<\/span><\/p>\n

At first I wanted to change career, but in the end life decided that I continue along the paths of this profession with which I feel fulfilled today.<\/span><\/p>\n

With which character did you feel that your world revolved around performance?<\/b><\/p>\n

I appreciated that connection when I participated in the cast of the soap opera \u201cAl comp\u00e1s del son,\u201d because it was the first important role I got. I felt the reaction of people who liked my performance and had identified with the character.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than anything, I perceived that through a character I could convey a message that radiated positively in the audience and that made me feel committed to acting for life.<\/span><\/p>\n

This role marked my life and influenced my actions and my tastes. In the preparation stage of the soap opera I learned a lot about the time in which it was taking place and I was able to expand my general culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think actors need characters similar to them or, on the contrary, they need to distance themselves from their true personality?<\/b><\/p>\n

What interests me most is to unfold, I like to experiment with the characters, I love to discover a part of me that I\u2019m not and see it materialized in the character.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are not many points in common with the work that I have done and, generally, they have been distant from me. When you create a character it\u2019s like having a baby. You give it life, you are creating it and you are creating a story through external and internal elements.<\/span><\/p>\n

I enjoy it when I see myself on the screen, on television or in cinema, playing a role that doesn\u2019t have much to do with my person and, nevertheless, is credible to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does the nervousness pass with time and experience before going on stage?<\/b><\/p>\n

From my experience I can tell you that whenever I am preparing to go on stage I get nervous, just as when I have been in the role of actress as well as an announcer or presenter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people believe that when you have been in this career for a while it is easier, but it\u2019s not always that way, because the person standing in front of an audience is still a human being, even if they have had many years of experience. No matter how strong we are, no matter how many tricks we use in certain circumstances, we continue to worry about wanting to do the job in the best way possible and give people your best version as an artist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does it take a lot of sacrifice to devote oneself to this profession?<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a career that involves a lot of sacrifice and that requires that you to give an extra many times in order to meet the goals we set for ourselves. In this profession, as also happens in others, we have to give up many things to be able to focus on the work projects, we must dedicate ourselves body and soul to what we are doing at that time. That requires that when we are in the process of recording, we have to rest, sleep early and be on the job.<\/span><\/p>\n
