Thousands attend AXN’s Asia’s Got Talent Open Auditions
in Manila for their chance to shine in Season Two
The most creative and aspiring Pinoy acts turned out in
full force today as AXN kicked off its open auditions for the second season of
Asia’s Got Talent.
Thousands of talented performers – from magicians,
singers and acrobats to dancers and variety acts – headed to QCX: Quezon City
Experience to audition for a coveted spot in the record-breaking talent contest
and a USD100,000 cash prize.
“Asia’s Got Talent celebrates performers of any age and
with any dream and that was certainly the case here in Philippines today. Our
first season was won by the Filipino shadow dance group, El Gamma Penumbra, and
this has inspired the entire nation to pursue their dreams. I wish all
performers who auditioned for Asia’s Got Talent today the very best of luck and
I hope to see them shine on Asia’s Got Talent later this year,” Virginia Lim,
Senior Vice President and Head of Content, Production and Marketing, Sony
Pictures Television Networks, Asia.
Billed as the world’s greatest talent competition,
“Asia’s Got Talent” welcomed individual and group performers of all ages, who
took to the stage with dreams of making it to the next round.
The auditions started at 10:30am this morning with the
day’s acts showcasing their amazing skills in front of the show’s executive
producers. Due to the overwhelming response, the dazzling display of Pinoy
talent did not end until well into the evening.
Some of the most incredible performances during the
auditions included a haka dance group, fire dancers, a 9-month pregnant singer
and harpist, a diablo (Chinese yoyo) performer, a differently-abled duo, a
beatboxer, as well as numerous vocalists and dancers, some of which started
queuing as early as 3am.
The Philippines is highly regarded as the act to beat for
having won the first season with the breathtaking performance of El Gamma
Penumbra, a Filipino shadow play dance group which took home the grand prize of
USD 100,000.
In addition to Manila and the recent auditions in
Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, open auditions will also be held in Taipei (May 27)
and Bangkok (May 28). To apply online, interested participants may log on to
