Natalka Denysenko about the family, creativity and support of the Armed Forces - exclusive interview for focus
At the same time, she saves her personal life, raises her son and demonstrates, even in the most difficult conditions, you can remain a strong, devoted family and their principles. In an exclusive interview with focus, the Ukrainian actress will tell her experience how to adapt to new realities, maintain a balance between family responsibilities and professional achievements, as well as about the role of creativity in life during the war.
Natalka Denysenko - actress, influenzer, mentor, mom, wife of the military? Who are you feeling today? Probably the most accurate will say that first of all I feel like a person and a woman. All other roles - actress, influencher, mentor, mom, military wife - are definitely important, but they follow this. These are my achievements in professional and family life, but above all I am a woman. The full -scale invasion has significantly changed priorities.
All these titles, the regalia seemed a little bit, like much more in life. Under the influence of these events, I even realized how important it is to stay human. And now, when I think of myself, the first thing that comes to mind is to be a person in the full sense of the word. Recently did you create an author's act of acting, how is it unique and how different from analogues? I did not create a course of acting.
My voice on a million is a unique training aimed at improving voice, pronunciation and diction. How is it different from others? First of all, based on my own experience. Many know me as a actress of dubbing and sounding, but not everyone knows that in the fourth year of the University. I have already taught Karpenko-Kary. I studied at the Faculty of Dictor and Leading Television Programs, and my master Arkady Nepitaluk invited me to teach "language technique" in acting courses.
During my teaching, I worked with people who did not have a creative profession - these were lawyers, teachers, students. It was then that I realized how important it is to adapt professional techniques for those who are not actors or presenters. My course is aimed at helping people to improve their pronunciation and learn public speaking, even if they have no experience in the creative fields.
"A million voice" helps every person to reveal their own, unique voice without copying the manner of TV presenters or speakers, but finding a confident, natural sound. All lessons are aimed at making the participants in the strength of their voice, improving diction and self -confidence. And it works 100%! My online course allows you to master the necessary skills for professional and personal development. You come from Chernihiv - this city has been repeatedly under fire.
Have you been there for a long time? How does Chernih live today? How do you support your hometown? I was recently in Chernihiv with my son. My parents still live there, so for me it will always be my homeland, where I grew up. The city lives and, I will say, looks quite good. During her last visit, Anatoliy and Anatolich withdrew a program about Chernihiv, and I was amazed at the parks blooming that clean and well -groomed streets.
The city is supported in excellent condition, thanks to the efforts of local authorities. People are smiling there, despite all the difficulties, and this testifies to the incredible power of Chernihiv. How do I support my hometown? I always proudly talk about him in an interview and on television. I am pleased to be his ambassador and remind you what our city is strong and beautiful. When local journalists are asked to interview, I always try to respond.
During the start of a full -scale invasion, I actively helped. Especially when there was a threat of occupation, participated in the organization of evacuation, sought vehicles for parents and other residents of the city. She cooperated closely with volunteers. Although I am not so active now, I stay with Chernihiv with all my heart. Your husband serves from the first days on the front.
Is it often possible to see? How do you maintain relationships at a distance? Now we manage to see a little more often, but there were periods when we did not see for 4 months. For someone, this may seem short, because many people do not see their relatives even longer. However, I and my husband are in touch. If he knows that a few hours or all night is not able to get in touch, he always warns me. One day he did not get in touch and I was ready to go to look for him.
I then told him that if he disappeared for a few hours without warning, I immediately went to him. Since then, he has always warned me of any lack of communication. I maintain our relationship in all possible ways, because my family is very important to me. My husband also shares my values and does everything to stay in touch. This also applies to our online communication, son-in-law and even intimate moments such as online-Sex.
I am openly talking about it because I think it is an important component in maintaining relationships at a distance. As a woman, I do my best to preserve our emotional, mental and sexual communication. I take responsibility for this and make every effort to keep our communication alive and rich, using our little family traditions. Tell us what your son admires, does he like acting? My son is definitely not an actor, it's 100%.
The acting profession involves performing what they tell you, and my son will never do what he or she is commanded. For example, asking him to tell a poem or sing a song is useless. In doing so, he speaks perfectly: clearly, beautiful, with good pronunciation and expressiveness. He uses such interesting phrases that I do not even know where he comes from - perhaps from books or cartoons. He also has a great hearing, he sings well and can parody different voices.
Probably because I often read him fairy tales in different roles. One day, I even took him to the studio, because he has all the makings for this purpose: a clear language and the ability to change voices. But he said, "I do not want, I will not" - and stands on my own. If he does not want to sing or shoot on the camera, he will not do it. He always says, "Don't take me, I don't want to. " He has very clear personal borders, and it impresses. My son is more fond of technique.
He likes designers, especially those where they need to work with electricity. He is very fond of railways, constantly builds cities and buys new cars. It is calm and concentrated, it can play for hours, for example, molding from plasticine. Even the astrologer says that he has a tendency to engineering, perhaps even medicine or aesthetic sciences. I think that when he grows up, many professions will change, and he will definitely find his place in the world.
I will always support him and will never be forced to do what he does not want. Do you do charity? How do you help the Armed Forces? Now, I think, every Ukrainian will say that it helps. We are all who have the opportunity, we do charity and help the Armed Forces. As a public person, I have a little more opportunity to organize meetings and use my work to help. In particular, I have a project "Natalka-reading", where I read poems of Ukrainian poets to the sounds of piano.
These are charity evenings that people buy tickets, and 100% of the money received is supported by the Armed Forces. Now I am actively helping in the rehabilitation of the guys from my husband, and all these evenings are aimed at supporting them. Previously, I bought the necessary for their needs - thermal imagers, things for heating. For example, in the winter they raised funds for heaters when there was such a need.
At the beginning of a full -scale invasion, I collected with the team on an ambulance. I also support the meetings that my colleagues and friends organize. I try not to stay away, because now it is very difficult to raise funds for any need. I know this from my own experience, so I always try to help all possible ways.
How do you think, even during the war, creative professions remain so relevant? How do you support your moral spirit? Why even during the war do creative professions remain relevant? Because without creativity, people will simply not be able to survive. For mental, psychological and spiritual health, you should be able to switch. If we are constantly sitting in the news and thinking about war, it can break us. I do not say that we have to forget about the war - it is never forgotten.
We will remember that until the last minute of our life. But in order to effectively help and be useful citizens of your country, you need to maintain your moral condition. And creativity is exactly what helps me in this. Many people write: "Natalochko, we looked at some comedy or series with you and rested it, it was very cool!". And I understand that in vain at the beginning of a full -scale invasion I thought that my profession was no longer needed.
Then it seemed to me that everything I was doing lost meaning. But now I clearly see how important it is. Even the poems I write down and publish on Instagram help people. They are distracted, fall in love with Ukrainian literature, poetry, and it works for the benefit of our culture and country. Even the Second World War: the actors came to the front, gave concerts, sang songs. It was very important then, and now.
If creativity disappears, it will be the death of culture, and with it and our country. That is why creative professions remain so important - they do not allow our mental state to fall to the bottom. As for my moral spirit, it is creativity that helps me to stay. My charity evenings "Natalka-reading" are very supporting me. People who need this dose of creativity come and it is a great support for me. And it is important that in the same way people help the Armed Forces.
In addition to creativity, I discovered teaching. I already mentioned that I have my voice on a million and a million one. These are educational products that allow me to be useful for society, for people, for the country I live in. It brings me moral pleasure and peace, because I do something good and important to people. And, of course, my greatest support is the son. Children perceive this world completely differently, and for the sake of them we must be strong.
