黄彩菱的妈妈是歌手、爸爸是高尔夫球教练，集合两大“优点”成长的她，不止爱唱歌、表演，平日有打高尔夫球、运动等兴趣：“妈妈是精通多国语言的印尼人，什么语言的歌曲都难不倒她，我从小也很爱唱歌。”不过从小就受英文教育、之后在加拿大念大学和工作，黄彩菱称这是优势但也是弱点：“我始终是华人，很想把华语说好，因为身边朋友都说英语，即使广东话也只懂一点点。”

She was born in an English speaking family, and she further her studies and worked in Canada.

Even tho Natalia doesn’t have any dialog in the movie <23:59: The Haunting Hour>, but her performance was highly acclaimed by director Jack Neo. As a woman who loves sports, Natalia is not afraid of the viper.
直到2013年在朋友的怂恿下参加《大马环球小姐》：“当时我还在加拿大HSBC银行工作，一直都有朋友建议我参加选美，可是我华语不好一直不敢尝试，后来《大马环球小姐》没有规定要说华语，所以就参加啦！”当时她拿了亚军，之后活跃于时尚界，也在新加坡担任Fox Sports体育节目的主持人，参与过《Four》等英语电视剧的演出。

她既喜欢唱歌亦喜欢演戏，在英语界发展也不俗，不过她一心要在华人影视圈闯出名堂，皆因血液里藏著黄皮肤的因子，外表洋派的突她本身喜欢中华文化，希望能有属于自己的代表作。她爆说，Chiu导（周青元）狂收千万令吉票房的《一路有你》，她与尤凤音都入围最终的人选名单：“试镜时对方要求演员懂得说英语，如果是英国口音更佳，我符合了这两个条件，不过最后却落选了，因为最后加了也要懂得说华语的条件，毕竟电影中还有一些说华语的场面及应对之后的宣传工作。”

She likes to sing and also enjoys acting. Her career development in the English circle was good. However, she wants to carve out a niche in the Chinese film and TV circles. Natalia loves Chinese culture and she wishes to have her representative work in the future. She told us that she and Joanne Yew was shortlisted for the final list for the movie <The Journey> by Chiu Keng Guan, :”The requirement for the charter is to speak English, and in British accent, I met these two criteria, but I ended up losing the character because they added the last requirement in the end, which is have to know how to speak Chinese, as there are some scene in the movie that need Chinese and also for the promotional activity.
Natalia admits that her appearance makes others feel that she is inaccessible, but in fact she is an ordinary girl who loves sports and plays games at home, she hope to break this misunderstanding of her.
那次试镜的落败对黄彩菱来说是打击亦是激励，于是她发奋到中国上海，花了10个月时间上华语、舞蹈和演艺课，为自己未来铺路。问到旧事重提是否担心尤凤音不开心，她大剌剌笑说：“我和尤凤音是好朋友，绝对没事！这次试镜反而激发了我要更加努力。”

The failure of that audition was a blow to her but also motivated Natalia. She went to Shanghai, China, and spent 10 months on learning Chinese, dancing and performing arts classes to pave the way for her future. When talking about the old story, we were wondering if Joanne will not be happy. She laughed and said: ” We are best friend so It is absolutely okay and this audition has inspired me to work harder.”
黄彩菱透露，当时一个星期里面要学声乐、舞蹈进修、演艺课和密集的华语课，每天时间表都排得满满的，令她非常充实，同时华语也进步神速。她随后在2017年推出首支单曲《Fly》亦剖白自己跳出舒适圈、追求梦想的心情：“这期间一共制作了3首歌曲，包括发布了的《Fly》，还有《Waiting For You》和《你为何不敢》。”当中她亦有交出自己的创作，《你为何不敢》更找来“金牌制作人”彭学斌为她写词：“他跟我聊天以后，就写了这首歌给我，他看穿我有点没自信、想放弃的心情，所以内容是说既然都走到这里，为何不继续走下去？”

Natalia revealed that she had to learn music, dance, performing arts classes and intensive Chinese classes in a week. The daily timetable was full, which made her feel very fulfilling, and her Chinese also improved a lot. She then launched her first single <Fly> in 2017 and also cut herself out of the comfort circle and pursued her dreams: “A total of 3 songs were produced, including the release of “Fly”, “Waiting For You” and “I Dare U To”.” Among them, she handed over her own creations. “I Dare U To ” were produced by gold medal producer Peng Xuebin. : ” He wrote this song for me after we had a chat. He notices that I have a lack of confidence and wants to give up, so the song is about since we have come all the way here, why don’t we just continue?”
这期间，她也参与过《黑客特工》（Blackhat）、《疯狂亚洲富豪》（Crazy Rish Asians）电影的演出，她坦承《Blackhat》中只是饰演汤唯的替身、《疯狂亚洲富豪》也只是小角色，但只有小演员，没有小角色的奋斗理念下，黄彩菱称有机会参与到好莱坞的制作，也令她大开眼界：“好莱坞的团队很庞大，他们的工作模式很专业、慢工出细活，唯一的坏处是耗很长的时间，这些过程会有点折腾，不过这些都是经验的累积。”

She also participated in the movie <Blackhat> and <Crazy Rish Asians>. She admits tha<“Blackhat> is only a substitute for Tang Wei, and <Crazy Asian Regal> is only a small role. But even only as a little actor, Natalia said that the opportunity to join the production of Hollywood is really open one’s eye: “Hollywood’s production team is very big and their works are very professional, the only downside is that it takes a long time, and these processes are a bit tossing, but these are the accumulation of experience.”
直到近期她参与《2359猛鬼兵营》的出演，而且还是演千年蛇精，从小爱户外活动的她，一点都不怕蛇，所以电影里要与蟒蛇亲密接触也难不倒她。电影中她演的蛇精，因为男友被抓走烹煮，她为了报复而化身人形去色诱李国煌等人，难度最高的除了要与李国煌接吻外，还有难度超高的蛇精妆。

In the movie, she played as the snake that transforms into the human form in order to seduce and make reprisals to Mark Lee and others as they caught and cooked her snake boyfriend. The most difficult part is the kiss with Mark Lee and also the super-complicated snake makeup.
黄彩菱透露，蛇精特殊化妆有半妆和全妆，胸部、腹部和面部都需要画上蛇的质感：“每天要花差不多10个小时化妆，还要黏上一层层的“蛇皮”增加真实感，如果在没有冷气的地方拍摄，那7层蛇皮真的令我很闷热！”加上要用酒精卸妆一个小时，皮肤都变得很敏感，过程都相当辛苦。

Natalia revealed that the special makeup of the snake has half and full makeup. Her chest, abdomen, and face need to be painted with the texture of the snake: “It takes about 10 hours to make up every day, and also a layer of “snakeskin” will be added to increase the sense of reality. If we are having a shoot in a place where there is no air-conditioning, these 7-layer snakeskins really make me very stuffy!” Plus the use of alcohol to remove the makeup for an hour made my skin sensitive, the process is really hard.
不过，黄彩菱说拍摄期间得到“前辈”李国煌亲自教路，令她获益良多，而且连新加坡国宝级导演梁志强都赞她表现亮眼，令她信心大增。她近期频频接到英语剧集的邀约，黄彩菱表示这些都是磨练演技的机会，同时间她都都不放弃任何中文影视作品的试镜，屡败屡战，一定会有被相中的一天，并希望日后会有属于自己的代表作。
