THE FACE 3 – Starting Wednesday, Mar 7th, 2018

“The Face 3” is a competition where all contestants begin at week one and are eliminated until one finalist is chosen as the winner. This competition is open to both male and female performers of all experience levels. The director and mentors will be creating the winner into a celebrity impersonation primary for Le Faux.

Competition Format:

Week One & Two:
This is the primaries for contestants. You will perform your best drag or impersonation. We will select contestants that we feel are best to take on this huge life changing experience. Mentors will select contestants who they feel they can work with. If more than one mentor chooses the same contestant, the contestant will choose the mentor. After a mentor selects contestants, mentors will give guidance on improving your performance and impersonation skills. Mentors will help select the person you can best impersonate.

Week Three:
All contestants return to perform with the guidance and direction led by the mentors. This week, mentors will be looking at your resemblance to the character they suggested you impersonate. This round a contestant will be eliminated from the competition. At the end of the show, mentors will give direction on areas to improve so you can return for week 4. They will be looking at your resemblance and mannerisms.

Week Four:
Remaining contestants will return to show the progress you have made. This week the mentors will be focusing their judging on your character resemblance and mannerisms. A contestant will be eliminated this week. Mentors will give you direction for next week’s competition, where they will be looking at your performance ability.
