I'll post this yet again:
"The Disney Channel" doesn't have auditions. It's not a junior high play. The shows on the Disney Channel have casting people who send out what are called "breakdowns" to registered agents. These are lists of roles that are being cast and the types of actors that are needed. The agents then comb through their clients to see if any of them meet those criteria. If they do, those actors (or the video reels of their previous work) are sent out to read for particular parts. The network doesn't just hold an open audition and hope that people will show up.
You're not going to get seen by anyone at any of the production companies just by contacting them and telling them how much you like their shows. You need to have a legitimate agent who will send you out for jobs, and even then the odds are slim of A) even getting an agent in the first place, B) getting sent out for something, and C) getting sent out for a show on the Disney Channel.

The best place to start is to find a reputable agent in New York City. Most castings are done through agents and since you live near NYC you are in luck. I believe most of their shows are filmed in California but they do cast out of NYC.
Good luck

Did you look on the Disney website? They sometimes post audition notices on the website.

What he said. Plus, you don't "hire" an agent. They choose you out of the thousands of people who submit.

Being an actress,I think it's best to get a agent.But you have to have talent to fall on.
If your willing to become a good actress i recommend getting acting classes and photoshots(Thats how you get discoverd)
and on www.disneychannel.com it has an application.

Try looking in the phonebooks in your area and see if they have any agencies, also be involved with dramas and such like that
