SouthSpot launches TV stars workshop

“Overcome your Shyness and Discover your Potential!” That was the challenge for the Batch 1 students of the SPOTLIGHT PERSONALITY EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOP produced by SouthSpot Entertainment Network, in partnership with NCCC Mall and 104.3 The Edge Radio Davao.
Last May 5 Saturday, the students were launched on stage, via a fashion and talent showcase at the activity center of NCCC Mall of Davao, as the new stars of SouthSpot Channel’s new lifestyle program entitled Spotlight TV! The TV show is the workshop’s final output as part of its “workshop-on-air” curriculum designed by its Program Director JILL PALARCA. Jill is an MTV Producer/Director/Writer from New York Film Academy. She has directed MTV VJs such as Donita Rose, KC Montero, KC Concepcion, Belinda Panelo, Sarah Meier, Marc Abaya, Cindy Kurleto, Patty Laurel, and also the likes of Lucy Torres, Dominic Ochoa, Arnel Ignacio, and many more.
While in MTV, Jill Palarca has interviewed and produced segments for Michael Buble, Mandy Moore, Matchbox 20, and many other local and international artists and bands. Currently, she’s also a Communication Arts professor at the University of the Immaculate Conception and a freelance Events & Marketing Consultant.
During the 4-week workshop, the students were given intensive lessons in TV Hosting, Emceeing for Events, Radio DJ-ing, Print/Ramp/Commercial Modelling, Fashion Styling and Basic Make-up by Mary Kay Philippines. They were given actual on-cam hosting exercises as VJs, Talk Show Hosts, Field Reporters, and Lifestyle Program Presenters.
The students also got to experience a Fashion Makeover Photo Shoot with photographer Cookie Tan and stylists Frances Tendencia and Gia Osckie Selma from the Style Oven House, Ryan & Janice Salon and Hair Dazzle Salon. Wardrobe was provided by WYN Fashion Ensembles, Jorgy & Missy, and Marmalade. Former model Skye Bangoy Dionela, and Miss Photogenic of Miss Earth Davao 2010 Angelina Arrozal were the students’ mentor in Ramp and Print modelling.
The Spotlight Stars also acted in a music video featuring the song “Beautiful” by Group 1 Crew, a chart-topping hit on 104.3 The Edge Radio.
The SPOTLIGHT PERSONALITY EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOP is the only workshop in Davao City that offers this complete and well-rounded program designed to help young people build their confidence by encouraging them to embrace their body shapes and sizes, by opening their hearts and minds to the world around them, by coaching them how to speak well and think creatively, and by nurturing their talents to bring out the finest traits of their “real” personalities. It’s all about polishing diamonds in the rough!
Open to all girls and boys aged 8-16, the workshop will be conducted at the SouthSpot studios. Batch 2 sessions will run from May 14-29, Monday to Friday (10AM to 5PM), with a Grand Finale Workshop on May 30 at NCCC Mall. Tuition fee is Php 7,000 which is inclusive of all materials, handouts, and DVD copies of all their video recordings and photographs.  Students will receive a printed portfolio of their fashion photo shoots. They will perform on stage for a fashion and talent showcase. They will also act in a music video, and star in their own TV show to be produced by SouthSpot. There’s definitely no other workshop in town that offers the same experience and value for money.
