Wanna be the Next Latin Music Star? New York Auditions for Telefutura’s ‘Objetivo Fama’ Sat., 10-15
New York, NY -- TeleFutura is looking for the next Latin music star. The nation’s newest, full-service Spanish-language TV network, seen on WFUT-TV Channel 68 here and WFTY-TV Channel 67 in Smithtown, Long Island, is holding auditions for the third season of “Objetivo Fama” (Objective: Fame), its popular reality talent search series. The winner gets a recording contract with Univision Music Group which carries a $25,000 advance.
Aspiring Latin music stars from the New York area, who sing and speak Spanish, should have their best performance prepared for Saturday, October 15, when “Objetivo Fama” will hold marathon auditions beginning at 8 am at the Queens Theater in the Park at Flushing Meadows Park. Information, contest rules, and the application in PDF format are available online at www.Univision.com, keyword: New York. Information is also available by phone toll-free at 800-770-8858. Contestants must be legal US residents aged 18 to 28.
Finalists in the 18 local area auditions will spend the months of January through May 2006 living and rehearsing together in a studio setting in Puerto Rico, where they will study their craft and perfect their performances. Each week on TeleFutura’s “Objetivo Fama” contestants will be eliminated until the grand prize winner is selected in the series’ season finale late in the spring of 2006. Episodes will include “behind-the-scenes” footage of the contestants’ lives as well as their televised performances for the judges and the public.
Lightning could strike twice for the New York area. Anais Martinez, the Dominican-born, Bronx-bred songstress who won the grand prize in the second season of “Objetivo Fama,” premiered her new single, “Atrapada” (Trapped), before 4.8 million TV viewers on the high profile Univision public choice awards program, “Premios Juventud” (Young People’s Choices), in September 2005.
