‘The Spirited Actor’ – The Search For Africa’s Next Hollywood Star is a new reality show hitting Africa with a bang. It’s very unprecedented. The aim is to recruit acting talents in Africa for the fame and glitz inHollywood . However, the organizers are focusing on the two West African countries; Ghana and Nigeria whose movie industries lead the other countries on the continent.
Many doubted the project when TV commercials started rolling but acting coach, Tracey Moore, and film producer & director, Samad Davis, both from the USA, who will work closely with the contestants came down for a press conference in Accra and in Lagos and that silenced the doubters.
The registration which started several months ago will be closing soon to enable the auditions to commence from 25 to 28 July, 2011 at the National Theatre. From July 25 to 27, 10 talents will be selected for the final auditions on the July 28.
The selected 10 will be made to go through tasks and exercises. After which they will be on TV for 2 weeks, where the public can help in deciding the final 5.
According to the organizers, this is to get the public involved but their percentage will only add up to the judges’ final say. Similar auditions will take place in Nigeria; this means that, the final 5 from Ghana will join the 5 finalists from Nigeria to be flown to New York, the movie capital in the world.
Monologues:
What makes this project huge is the fact that, for the first time in the history of audition in Ghana, Monologues for the audition have been made available on the internet for the contestants. Each contestant is expected to download one of the three monologues; ‘the boss’, ‘the director’, ‘and the winner is’, study it in preparation for the audition.
