The confusion that has become part of ‘Presenter Search’

People who attended the Presenter Search auditions on Friday and Sunday left dissatisfied by the whole process. They say they had to audition in rooms without cameras or judges, only a producer.

“After spending the whole day queueing, when I finally get a chance they put me in a room with a producer, no camera and judge. How are you going to see how I look on a camera when there is no camera?” she asked.

“When I looked at their Instagram [account], I saw that judges were present. I think SABC3 don’t take us serious.”

Another lady wrote on Instagram: “I did my audition late and there were no cameras but both of the judges liked me. I just want to know if there is a chance of me getting a call back? I’m confused because others saw the guest judges.”

Yet another said: “Some of the rooms didn’t have cameras on Friday, there were too many of us.”

Explanation

Head of post production at SABC3 Presenter Search however said all those who auditioned started at filter rooms.

“If you make it at the filter room, you proceed to audition in front of cameras where there are judges. We could not film everyone who came for auditions because it is a costly exercise.”
