Teresa Carpio (born 30 September 1956) is a Hong Kong English- and Cantonese-language pop singer,[1] actress,[2] and singing teacher.
[3] She is most well known for her Cantonese-language hits, 假如 (If), 仍然記得嗰一次 (I Still Remember That Time), 眉頭不再猛皺 (Sukiyaki), 何必放棄 (Why Give Up) and 真愛 (True Love).
Carpio began her career as a child star, winning Hong Kong's first Amateur Talent Quest in 1963 at the age of 6.
She has performed in many other countries as far apart as Singapore, Malaysia, French Polynesia, Australia, Japan, Thailand, Brunei, the United States and Canada.
Reception towards the concert was generally mixed: although Carpio's voice and stage presence was praised, the lack of Cantonese songs and audience interaction was criticised.
She broadened her career into acting with appearances in a number of films,[10] and auditioned for the lead role in Miss Saigon, though this eventually went to Lea Salonga.
She is more well-known for her later movies, where she often was famous for small roles that became extremely popular, such as 2003's Truth or Dare: 6th Floor Rear Flat where she sang part of 海闊天空 (Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies), accompanying herself on keyboards.
She appeared on Hong Kong television as a judge and head vocal coach on season two of the singing competition The Voice.
During her tenure, she told to the media that her participation was fueled by the fact that she was competing against another Hong Kong singer, Sandy Lam Yik-Lin (who went on to win).
