For today’s blog
entry let us get excited and explore the possibility of becoming a celebrity
when we enrol with KDU for its Diploma in Entertainment Arts by the School of
Communication and Creative Arts. What’s
more thrilling is that our campus here at Glenmarie is well equipped with state
of the art facilities which are actually used in the real industry. It is a
perfect blend of real world education that meets the real world needs for this
line of industry which could prepare KDU students to be ever ready to take on
the challenges to build their career.
This programme
also ensures them to be exposed to a variety
of roles such as singing, dancing, acting,
and management skills to make them all-rounded talents. On top of these vital skills, industry
professionals or lecturers will teach and guide students how to brand, position
and market themselves so that they may steer their own career in this highly
competitive space. There are a myriad of subjects specifically designed for
students to be well equipped once they graduated from KDU such as “History and Aesthetics of World Theatre”, “Introduction
to Contemporary Film Industry”, “Navigating Hollywood”, “Entertainment
Marketing”, “Acting/ Directing Lab”, “Public Speaking”, “Writing and
Referencing Skills”, “Critical Thinking and Reading Skills”, and the list goes
on. While preparing students for local and regional entertainment industry, the
course structure will also inspire them on how to move within complicated
structures of formal and informal networks in established institutions such as
Hollywood.

If that does not get
you excited enough, KDU’s unique internship placement programme will allow entertainment arts students to get first-hand
experience in mingling and navigating amongst the celebrities in the Malaysian
entertainment industry. Notable examples of Entertainment Arts graduates who
seamlessly integrated into the entertainment industry are Nurul Elfira Loy Binti Ahmad Sabri, who better
known by her stage name Elfira Loy,
famous Malaysian actress even before graduating; Neeta Manisha, a renowned vocalist while she still studying in KDU;
Shery Chong Sher Yean who climbed her way to the Top 10 on the MY
FM DJ competition while in the midst of doing her diploma; Jayson Puah Jia Sheng, has
landed in title roles in local theatre scene, the musical ‘MUD’ and ‘Cheras’ to
be precise.
With all the
outstanding edge that KDU Diploma in Entertainment Arts would bring for the
students, the most important thing that struck me is the magnitude of
possibilities that this programme could bring me in order to venture into the
entertainment industry to embrace my passion and goal.
