Actually my very first audition was nakita lang po akong naglalakad sa mall,&quot; she said.&quot;Nakita po ako ng isang talent scout ng Star Magic. At first, I didn&#x27;t believe honestly na taga-Star Magic siya or taga-ABS-CBN siya kasi I didn&#x27;t experience anyone talking to me like that eh,&quot; she recalled. She was only 17 when she was first discovered by the Star Magic talent scout and admittedly was clueless on how the entertainment industry works. &quot;I was just a normal athlete-student doing my own thing. I&#x27;ve never done anything except school,&quot; she said.That&#x27;s why Stranner was surprised when former Star Magic artist head Johnny Manahan offered her a management contract with ABS-CBN&#x27;s talent arm. Stranner still vividly remembers that day. &quot;Pinapunta po ako dito (ABS-CBN) to do an audition a VTR... and it was so like out of nowhere na parang sabi nila imi-meet daw namin &#x27;yung head ng Star Magic, which is Mr. M (Johnny Manahan) that day. So ako, &#x27;Who&#x27;s that?&#x27; Eh I don&#x27;t know anything, I was like clueless. Tapos pumunta kami ng office ni Mr. M. We were like 30-plus. I think after that, pinag-stay ako, pinauwi &#x27;yung iba and then that day, I met Tita Monch (Star Magic road manager) and then &#x27;yun na po &#x27;yung tinawag na sinabi ni Mr. M, &#x27;Okay give Daniela a two-year contract.&#x27; Ayun po ang sinabi ni Mr. M. My very first audtion, I got the contract na po,&quot; she said.Without any experience, Stranner took the opportunity and has now stepped up as one of the new generation of stars of Star Magic. &quot;I took it kasi it was so out of the blue, and parang sabi sa akin ni Tita Monch na parang it&#x27;s rare for an artista to experience this kind of thing,&quot; she explained. Stranner has starred in several ABS-CBN teleseryes starting with &quot;Make It With You&quot; to the more recent &quot;Fractured&quot; and &quot;Senior High.&quot;<div> </div>
