Marlène Schaff, a vocal coach at Star Academy, is an integral part of the creative team for the new season. In collaboration with Lucie Bernardoni, she is diligently present during the students’ rehearsals.
Frequenting the château several days a week, Marlène is responsible for announcing the songs and duets for the prime-time shows. She is fully committed to helping the contestants of Star Academy give their best during the live performances.
Marlène Schaff has a solid musical background. She has tried her luck at various famous castings over the years. Recently, she shared that she was not selected by the jury during the casting for the show “Nouvelle Star” on M6, as she explained in an interview with *Le Parisien*.
After her performance, the jury told her that she would be “a very good choir singer,” a comment she found condescending. She remembers this experience with bitterness, describing it as “cruel, mean, and disrespectful to a part of the profession.”
However, Marlène had more success when she later participated in another television show. In 2013, she was a contestant on “The Voice,” where she impressed the coaches during her blind audition, joining Louis Bertignac’s team.
