Azteca Phoenix to host Casting for La Academia Kids

PHOENIX — Azteca America invites children between the ages of 5 and 13 who can sing or dance to attend the U.S. Casting for La Academia Kids taking place in different cities across the country this July.  New talent will be selected to be a part of the second season of the outstanding Spanish-language children’s reality show. 

La Academia Kids is the children’s version of La Academia, the biggest launching pad for talent on Spanish-language television.  Hosted by the charismatic Ingrid Coronado, the first season of this reality show competition, set in an academy for children with exceptional musical and acting abilities, was a resounding success.  The talent demonstrated by the children selected to be a part of the first season astounded both young and old. 

Eddy, representing the Mexican state of Chihuahua, was the winner that first season, thanks to his powerful voice, his on-stage performances, and his humility.  Nahomy, Adamaris,Ximena, Michelle, and Christopher (representing California) were all finalists and have since begun musical and acting careers. 

They did it and now it’s time for new voices to emerge and show off their talent by trying out in the following cities: 

·        First weekend in July – casting in San Antonio and Dallas 
·        Second weekend in July – casting in San Francisco and Phoenix 
·        July 19 – Final United States Casting in Los Angeles 

The Los Angeles casting will take place at Plaza México in Lynwood beginning at 9:00 am.  This final casting will determine which children will then travel to Mexico City for the final audition and to find out who the next class of La Academia Kids will be. 

Don’t miss this great opportunity to shine on the most important stage in Spanish-language television!  Azteca America invites you!
