The show recently held its virtual media conference with the StarKadas and NET25’s Star Center Artist Management head, actor-director Mr. Eric Quizon.

CinemaBravo asked about the show’s inception, and here’s what Direk Eric had to share:

“In the beginning kasi, when we auditioned them—no’ng natanggap sila at napili sila—we really pushed for them to do workshops, at ma-train sila in all other aspects like speech, music, dance. Kasi gusto naming ma-prepare sila or ma-hone yung craft nila or mas mapagaling pa yung talents nila. So p-in-ush naman yan.

“And then, sabi ko, I have this mindset na baka later on magamit itong mga pinaggagawa namin na mga workshop. So I had everything documented. And then I proposed na magkaroon ng parang reality show na based on their journey.”

True enough, the show will feature participants as they attend fun workshops to learn acting, dancing, voice skills, makeup, public speaking, and how to build their own brand and personality. See the 33 talents face weekly challenges with help from their awesome coaches, and connect with their audience through live shows at malls and visits to campuses. 

“Mahirap manghiram ng artista. Mas magandang mayroon tayong sariling atin.”

“So ito na nga yung kumbaga parang p-in-ropose ko na parang reality show na prior to magkaroon sila talaga ng show kasi this is one way of introducing them e,” he continued. “Kaya I suggested to have a [show on] Starkada journey and ito na nga yon…

“We have so much material and gusto naming makita yung progress nila from how they started, from when they auditioned up to now na meron na nga silang sariling show.

“Apart from that also, siyempre nung nagka-green light na nga yung show, siyempre inisipan na din namin ng mga iba pang activity para mapakita natin yung human side naman naman ng ating Starkada.

“So diyan nag-evolve yung Road to Starkada… After this, magkakaroon sila ng ibang show and this time to showcase further their real talents.”
