My two cents
I have noticed your other questions
1. Actors need training-this is mostly true if you want to be a good actor, if you are just trying to be seen, get on a reality show
2. Agents-if you have no experience, no training..most legit agents will not touch you..contrary to popular belief they are in the business of making money not to discover you
3. Eligibility-The beauty of show business is that their is a role for everyone, and really there is no right or wrong way to "make it" the rules get broken everyday. Being Indian should not be a hinderance. Did you know that India is one of the biggest film production countries in the world?
Here are some cost effective methos on becoming an actor
1. Read-either online, the bookstor, or the library. Read anything and everyting you can get on the topic of acting.. Not just working as an actor, the actual art of acting. The more you learn about the business, the better you will be.
2. Network, contact local theatres and actors groups. Talk with them before you approach an agent.
3. Train-when you are ready seek training.

Well usually they prefer trained actors. Usually some training doesn't hurt. And why exactly do you want to work for disney? Do you confuse it with Hollywood? Because if you want to become a serious actor, the first order of business should be find yourself an agent. And he/she will setup auditions. And based on your performance you will start out with small roles. Except if you are really good. There are some people who start out as big actors.. But your chance for that is like your chance to win the lottery. So just try to start slow. And at the beginning you have to have a second job to have headshots and stuff like that made. You know, your agents will not pay for that..

Without acting experience, it is impossible for you to work as an actor. You must study acting for 15 or 20 years. It takes a very long time to perfect the craft of acting. After you finish acting classes, ask your acting teacher to give you information on auditions. Don't expect to become a working actor overnight, it's a very, very, very long process and there is no need to rush. If you do well in acting classes, it is possible you may be able to act in movies. It is not easy and may take you another 10 years before you get a job in the movies or Disney.

You need to have some experience! Having great talent usually isn't enough. Once you get to the Us I suggest getting involved in a comuunity theatre, finding someplace to take acting classes, and find some other people with the same intrests who can give you tips, pointers, and constructive critisism. But as far as I know Disney will hire anyone who meets their criteria no matter their race.

Without training as an actor, all other considerations are pointless. You CANNOT and will not get work as an actor without training.
