SEND ILLYSA TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS OF PERFORMING ARTS (WCOPA) 2020

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I present to you The World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA), is the only “World Talent Olympics” where homegrown Filipino talents are given the chance to participate in this global competition through Dancing, Singing, Modeling, Instrumentals, Acting and Variety Arts. Approximately 60 countries come to compete at WCOPA. Held annually in Hollywood, U.S.A., WCOPA is not only a competition, but also a training ground and an avenue for opportunities for aspiring artists like me. With boot camps conducted by Hollywood industry professionals, and Go-Sees participated by scouts and agencies all over America, WCOPA has a lot more to offer.

Since childhood, I’ve developed a growing interest in Performing Arts, specifically in singing, playing guitar, dancing and acting, and have been attending workshops, joining and competing to enhance my talent more. Before graduating, which was just recent when I earned my degree of BS Secondary Education, Major in Filipino from Balanga Peninsula State University (BPSU) Balanga Campus, Balanga, Bataan, I was able to join different competitions showcasing talents, specifically singing. Below is a list of some of the contests I joined and the awards I earned. Also, I’ve been extending my singing talent to weddings, debuts, and other celebrations alike to earn extra income during college, as we often experience financial difficulty within our family.

Competitions I joined with my chorale group, and other solo participation:

* A Voyage of Songs 2019 International Choral Festival in Bangkok, Thailand
