La Academia was a Paraguayan musical reality show adapted from the Mexican program La Academia. It was broadcast by Telefuturo from May 28 to September 24, 2013 and hosted by Dani Da Rosa.[1]
La Academia is a talent show contest where the main requirements are to specialize in singing, dancing, and acting. People vote for their favorite contestant so that they don't end up with the lowest score and have to leave the academy.[2][3]
Contestants live in a 500 square meter house equipped with 30 cameras, a pool, and a Jacuzzi. They receive classes and live with their peers in confinement. They have a weekly concert where they are evaluated by critics and eliminated until a winner is announced.[4]
Marcelo Iripino is the artistic director of La Academia, and he is accompanied by three teachers. Natalia Valdez is the dance teacher, who is assisted by six dance coaches. David Portillo is the music teacher, who is assisted by six vocal coaches. The third and final teacher of the academy is Néstor Amarilla, who teaches acting.
It is a program broadcast every Thursday at 9 pm, hosted by the entertainment journalist and television presenter Mili Brítez. The panelists on the show are: the entertainment journalist Carmiña Masi, the theater and television director (acting coach of La Academia) Néstor Amarilla, and the choreographer and dancer (artistic director of La Academia) Marcelo Iripino.
The program analyzes the entire structure of La Academia, from the personal lives of the participants to conflicts in daily living.
This program is broadcast from Tuesday to Saturday at 12:00 p.m., and on Sundays at 11:30 p.m. It shows the house live and in real-time, and it's broadcast to the television audience via antenna since the 24-hour transmission of the academy is carried out through cable.
Behind the scenes (backstage) of everything that happened in the house and the Academy gala, at different times, in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The host of this program is Edwin Storrer.
After almost three months since the program premiered, specifically on August 19, a new supporting program of La Academia premiered on Telefuturo screens, La Academia. It airs from Monday to Friday at 7:00 pm, hosted by Rubén Rubín.

The casting was conducted nationwide in cities such as Itaugua, Villarrica, Ciudad del Este, Asunción, and Encarnación. The 20 selected contestants are individuals between the ages of 15 and 50 of both sexes, who possess some form of artistic knowledge in dancing, singing, or acting.
