It's all folks. Started a new season "Factor.BY"

The sixth season of the main musical talent show in Belarus gathered thousands of viewers. One of the highest ranking programs will again show talent from the people. They do not have professional regalia and honorary awards, but they have a unique voice and artistry. 125 participants will compete for the victory, four will enter the superfinals, and only one will receive the main prize.

People of different professions and ages come to the castings of the show: those who dreamed of a stage, performed, but never became an artist, and people whose creative activity is limited to singing for friends. However, everyone has an equal chance of success in the project, says the general producer of the general production center of the Belteleradiocompany Olga Shlyager:

The show "Factor.by" gives an opportunity to declare themselves to any talented person. For six seasons, the program gives a real chance to everyone who dreams of becoming an artist, to unleash their potential and prove to everyone around that dreams come true. The main thing is not to retreat from the intended goal.

Not only Belarusians won the show. Two of the five winners of previous seasons are Russians. The triumphant second season of the show Ivan Dyatlov from the Ivanovo region to participate in the project even left the job of a software engineer. He lit his star for the Belarusian audience for the first time at the festival “Slavic Bazaar in Vitebsk” in 2019, taking third place. Factor.by was luckier. Another lucky one is Ibrahim Karasov from New Urengoy. He became the best in season five. He compared his success with a flight into space, while I am sure that without the support of the jury and the creative team, it would not have been possible to climb the pedestal.

In the new season, the judges remain the same. Selecting participants in her team, singer and TV presenter Olga Buzova plans to pay attention to the artistry and scale of the personality, actor and musician Stas Yarushin is especially waiting for performers of author songs, singer Denis Klyaver is well versed in music and knows what the audience likes, so he will look for an extraordinary performer, opera baritone Belarusian Vladimir Gromov will support the cleanest vocals, pitch and energy.

Filming for the project is well underway. On one issue of telecasting team spends 8-10 hours. Plus shooting participants outside the pavilion. Correspondents come to their homes, to work – all in order to reveal the characters and attract viewers to the screens.

Participants take the show seriously. Preparing for the project, Viktor Kotovnik from St. Petersburg dropped more than 50 kilograms. If the music works out, he wants to sell his bar and get creative. Ani Galstyan from Veliky Novgorod is a young singer who went against her parents. To finance a non-profit hobby, she worked as a manager of a construction company. Muscovite Teon Khabarova passed many vocal contests, but without success. Two years ago, she was in an accident and miraculously survived. It gave me strength to fight for the dream. Participants from Belarus are also outstanding: Arthur Medvedev is a resuscitator, Elena Grechnaya is an engineer-chemist of a distillery, Marta Danusevich is a soloist of the Bolshoi Theatre.
