Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia has launched a live competition on her Instagram page for intending actors to showcase their acting skills as well as win cash prizes while standing a chance to get noticed by a casting director.
According to Etinosa, the competition was inspired by her zeal to give back to society and necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
“During this lockdown, I’ve seen a lot of online shows coming up – so much opportunity to do things I love so much,” she says.
Taking to her Instagram page, the actress writes: “The beauty of acting for me is the opportunity I get to become a different person with every role. With every script, I become a totally different person. Some say it is a cheap way to run away from your reality but I don’t care. I love it. For me, it is art, pure skill, one of the best use of my mind- becoming someone else just like that! Not just by looks but by creating a whole person full of her own baggage and back story in your mind and becoming that person. Powered by reading a little guideline, a manual, a script! I can’t stop gushing about how beautiful, satisfying, exciting and rewarding my job, acting is.
