Marguerite was convinced that she did not have the necessary talent to participate in the Star Academy. A dream with Michael Goldman and a message from the casting director proved him wrong. The 23-year-old Parisian is one of the 15 candidates for the new season which begins this Saturday, October 12.
We couldn’t be more premonitory. Before being contacted by the production of the Star Academy to pass the casting for the new season, which begins this Saturday, October 12 on TF1, Marguerite had dreamed of the school director. “I look at the Star Academy with my best friend and she said to me: ‘Oh that would suit you really well’. At the time I said to myself: ‘Oh not at all!’ I felt like I didn’t have the level. Everyone had incredible voices and I was like: ‘I like singing but I don’t know if I could do what they do’“revealed the young 23-year-old Parisian to France Blue. “I think it stuck in my brain because the next week I dreamed that I was having lunch with Michael Goldman and he said to me: ‘I want to hear about you’. I found it so weird! And the next day, someone sent me a message on Instagram!”
Coming from the world of theater, Marguerite is eager to learn music with the teachers of the Star Academy
Despite her initial fears of not being up to par, Marguerite decided to see this message from the casting director. It was thanks to her piano cover videos, posted on her Instagram account, that she was spotted. Initially, she posts “pour [son] pleasure and for people who wanted to [l]’listen but not necessarily to become known’she said. By being part of the new promotion of the Star Academya new world will open up to the woman who was until now an assistant to a casting director in the cinema: “As I learned to sing on my own and at my piano, I think I have a fairly gentle way of singing. I will have to bring out my voice. My objective is to open up, to learn to sing with musicians, things I’ve never done.”

We will certainly see Marguerite at the piano in the castle and on the set. An instrument that she tamed in high school. “I liked singing but I wanted to accompany myselfshe explains. I learned a bit like that by learning the chords, trying to make more personal versions of songs that I liked. I never stopped.” On his Instagram account, we can hear him resume Salted popcorn of Santa or If only I could miss himby Calogero. To the Star Academyshe dreams of being able to sing with Christophe Willem – “because his first album is the only one I had on CD when I was little and I listened to it over and over” – and Julien Doré, who will be one of the exceptional teachers this season.
