Sing Write Vote

This is a big year for Avon Malaysia with many surprises already planned for its massive supporters out there. 

To kick-start 2011, Avon will conduct the Malaysian audition for the brand’s international singing contest Avon Voices this Sunday, Jan 16.

The audition however is only open to women 18 years old and above. But you may have to fight hard to get a spot because only the first 300 registrations will be accepted.

You will be required to do a 30-second a cappella number by choosing your song from the list provided by Avon. Only 50 finalists will be selected on the day from the 300 participants.

If you are among the 50 finalists you will not only receive RM200 worth of Avon products but also be given the privilege of uploading your performance on the day for submission to Avon Voices global search.

Our local talents will, during the audition, be judged by Malaysia’s very own singer/actress Marsha Londoh, Alya AF, Soo Wincci and professional dance choreographer Linda Jasmine.

Avon Voices is a global singing competition designed by the leading global beauty company as a celebration of its 125th Anniversary. Together with this talent search is the Songwriting Competition for women as well as men.

If you are among the first batch of contenders from Malaysia to secure a spot then you will be flown with the rest to Hong Kong to record the performance videos in late March this year. These videos will be used for voting of Round 1 and 2.

If this sounds exciting then read on and see what else you stand to enjoy as the Malaysian finalists and overall winner.

As a semi-finalist you will be flown to Hollywood for a professional vocal coaching, Avon makeovers as well as the recording of the performance videos in mid July.

Finally, on Sept 8, 10 finalists will be announced on AvonVoices.com, determined by public voting as well as Avon Voices Judges. The reward comprises a one-on-one vocal coaching, styling sessions, Avon makeovers, rehearsals and in-studio recordings in the USA where you will be flown to!

The climax is on Nov 2 where the 10 finalists will perform live at the Avon Foundation for Women Gala in New York City. Avon Voices celebrities will join the finalists on stage to sing and record the Avon Voices Anthem, an original song written by Diane Warren.

So if all this sounds great what more are you waiting for? Registration is free of charge. You can call Avon Malaysia Hotline at 1800-22-AVON (2866) or go to its website www.my.avon.com or come personally to Level 2 of KL Sentral this Sunday (Jan 16) between 10an and 5pm. Last registration is at 2pm.

I’m already imagining how jam-packed the audition venue KL Sentral will be this Sunday!
