In Order to Participate in Online Auditions for D'Academy 5, This Participant from Tasikmalaya Had to Stay at a Bridal Salon

Kapanlagi.com - The enthusiasm of the participants who took part in the online auditions for D'Academy 5 is truly commendable. Despite signal problems, they did not give up and tried various ways to participate in the auditions.

For example, there was a participant from Tasikmalaya, West Java named Rostiana. Because her house is located in a remote area, she had to find a place with good signal. Therefore, Rostiana went to the house of one of her relatives who owns a bridal salon so that she could participate in the online auditions for D'Academy 5.

Rostiana said that the salon is about half an hour away from her house. She said that the bridal makeup salon often invites her to sing if there are jobs in her area.

"The problem is the signal during the audition. It's far from home to the bridal makeup salon because the signal at home is bad. It's about half an hour from home to here. Of course, I have to be enthusiastic. So this bridal makeup salon usually provides entertainment services too, if there's a job Rostiana likes to be taken (to sing). This is at the home of the salon owner," said Rostiana during a virtual interview on Wednesday (9/3).

2. Nervous During the Audition

During the audition, Rostiana admitted feeling nervous, especially after finding out that Reza Zakarya was one of the judges.

"I was really nervous during the audition until my voice trembled. Thank God the team was good, the judges were good too, maybe there were still shortcomings when I sang four songs. I was also nervous when Reza was there," she said.

3. Singing from Stage to Stage

Rostiana's daily activity is indeed singing from stage to stage. Meanwhile, her father works as a farmer.

"My daily routine is singing from stage to stage. Although the jobs are not many, but Alhamdulillah there are always some. My father is a farmer, my mother has passed away but I have a stepmother," said the 23-year-old girl.

She said that she has liked dangdut music for a long time and learned everything about it self-taught. "I learned dangdut self-taught, without vocal lessons, I just like singing and music. My soul is more into dangdut, my job is also singing from stage to stage, it's already in my blood and I can't get away from it," she explained.

4. Motivation to Join D'Academy 5

Rostiana's motivation for participating in the online audition for D'Academy 5 is to elevate her family's status. If she succeeds in becoming a dangdut singer, Rostiana also wants to prove that the image of dangdut singers is not always negative.

"My motivation is to have a good career, to learn a lot, to hone my talent and also change my fate. I want to become a singer to elevate my family's status and make them proud," said Rostiana.

"I want to prove that the name of dangdut singer can be good, because the image of dangdut singers is bad. I want people to know that not all singers are like that, that dangdut singers are not always negative," she concluded.
