TV5 has
announced that it will give away a combined total of 20 Million Pesos in the
biggest and most intensive artista search ever mounted on
Philippine Television: ARTISTA ACADEMY. The search will kick off with a
massive one-time grand auditions at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on June 19,
Tuesday.
Thru ARTISTA ACADEMY, TV5 goes all-out in discovering and developing
Philippine Television's biggest new stars, by offering real training in a
legitimate school of television arts along with the fame, fortune and stardom
every showbiz hopeful dreams of.
ARTISTA ACADEMY searches for young showbiz aspirants aged 16-21 who have
the looks, charm, potential and determination to go through extensive
curriculum-based training under the Asian Academy of Television Arts (AATA) to
become certified professional actors armed with the acting versatility and
right attitude to make a name for themselves in the industry.
Over P20 Million in total prizes will be given to the deserving winners
who will be hailed as ARTISTA ACADEMY’s Best Actor and Best Actress. Not only
will they be equipped with the proper acting training from AATA to become TV5’s
next big stars, they will also be the richest of all winners in the history of
all talent searches in the Philippines.
All 16
finalists who will be chosen as ARTISTA ACADEMY Students will be granted full
AATA scholarships and the chance to undergo comprehensive training with the
best in the industry – including multi-awarded director Joel
Lamangan, music master Louie Ocampo, dance guru Georcelle Dapat of G
Force, along with other esteemed TV professionals and distinguished
celebrities.
Acclaimed Film and TV director Mac Alejandre heads the TV5 TALENT CENTER
and will be working with the Head of AATA, well-known Entertainment executive
Wilma Galvante, who will act as Principal of ARTISTA ACADEMY.
“We are all excited with the launch of Artista Academy because this
really tops all artista searches that have been done in the country. We are
offering real training in a real academy for our future stars. No other program
has offered such school-based learning and development from an academy of
television arts. And, of course, it will be a real life-changing experience for
not just one but two students because we are giving away P20 Million worth of
prizes, including lead roles in a forthcoming teleserye of the network. This is
real fame, fortune, and stardom. This is as real as it can get,” shared TV5
Creative and Entertainment Production Head Perci Intalan.
