Dhaka auditions of ''Close up 1'' begins
Some of the contestants who receive 'YES' card
The audition rounds of the talent hunt Close up 1 Gao Bangladesh Gao are nearing a conclusion.
The audition rounds in Dhaka began from April 29. A total of 20,000 participants are taking part in Dhaka auditions, being held at the Bangladesh Institute for Administration and Management (BIAM).
All together 22 judges -- Jalal Ahmed, Anup Bhattacharya, Shujeo Shyam, Anisur Rahman Tanu, Monwar Hossain Tutul, Muhammad Jalal Ahmed, Muhammad Shahnewaz, Selim Ashraf, Sujit Mustafa, Anup Barua, Mesbah Rahman and others-- are evaluating the performances of the participants.
As Jalal Ahmed said, '' In the rounds we come across many talented participants with wonderful voices. Unfortunately not everyone gets a 'Yes' card, partly because most of them are not dedicated singers. Also they didn't go to a teacher for lessons; again some didn't devote adequate time to practice, which is the most vital element of singing.''
One of the judges Fakir Shabuddin said ''When a participant is singing, he seeks to imitate the style of certain artistes. However, there is a possibility that the artiste himself who taught had a flaw."
“To avoid this, my advice would be ' Build up the habit of listening to songs of the original singers, and take care when choosing a teacher,'' Fakir added.
So far 83 contestants have received the 'Yes' card in the Dhaka audition rounds, which will continue till May 7.
The audition rounds from the waiting list will be held from May 8-11.
The selection rounds will start from May 12 at FDC. Ahmed Imtiaz Bulbul, Fahmida Nabi and Partho Barua of Souls will the judges at the selection round.
