Today, 24 Musical Beats is featuring the scintillating performance of actress Megan Osyen in the official music video for ‘I Wanna Get Better’. Known for her work in We Three Kings and LA VIDA LOCA – “Emma”, Megan returns with another sensational role, portraying a younger version of vocalist Jennica Best in the Colatura’s latest single. The 3.58-minute video shows the band performing on a school stage, with the lead vocalist mulling over different phases of her life.
Acting without a single line of dialogue is a true test of an actor’s craft—it relies entirely on expression, body language, and presence to convey emotion and story. Megan masters this art effortlessly, using her glance, subtle shifts in posture, and nuanced expressions to communicate volumes.
This is where Megan’s performance truly shines. Even while staying in the shadow of Jennica Best’s character—representing a hidden, youthful version buried deep inside—she brings out a more open, innocent aspect of one’s persona. Back in school, before the world’s pressures intruded, when creativity and boldness thrived. Megan captures this nuance beautifully, whether in the stunning close-ups that reveal deeper introspection or in her intriguing expressions while sitting quietly as Jennica Best’s younger self.
She takes it a step further in the outro, performing on stage as an exuberant schoolgirl. The band remains the same, but the lead role shifts to Megan, who delivers a vibrant, dynamic performance. The duality—hypnotic and introspective on one hand, bold and raw on the other—is portrayed brilliantly. Only an actress of Megan’s calibre could pull off this transformation so convincingly.
