Answer 1

I don't know where you live, but most Disney auditions are in Los Angeles and Florida and in order to audition for them you'll need an agent 99.9% of the time.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)

Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.

Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.

I have seen Disney auditions listed from time to time on actorsaccess, but you also have to realize that Disney kids are often triple threats. They sing, dance and act and do all three very well. Work on yourself, do all you can in school and locally (theatre, take voice lessons, dance classes, acting classes). And no matter what, they have great big positive personalities! When they walk in a room, they light it up and everyone LOVES them.

You have a lot to do! Good luck!

Answer 2

This is Frozen Grocer's excellent answer for all things Disney Channel:

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.

Answer 3

the other person is right, but don't worry there is an easy way to find an agent try www.agentsassociation.com to find a legit agent
REMEMBER an agent never asks for any money upfront they get paid 7-10% of what you are paid when, and only when, you are paid
I am sure you will get to be on disney just persevere
Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Unless you have an agent, you cannot be on the Disney Chanel.

The girls and boys you see on television have Agents that send them on auditions.

Ask your parents to find an acting school for you.

Answer 5

Sweetie, I hate to disappoint you, but it's really hard to do. There are lots and lots and lots and LOTS of people who want to be on the Disney Channel. They have looks, and talent, like I know you do, but there are so many that the Disney people can't use them all. It's very hard work, and a lot of people who want to be on just as bad as you do never get to.

I'm only telling you this so you don't get too sad if it doesn't work. But if you really want to try, here's how:

First, talk to your parents about it. They'll probably tell you how hard it is too, but if you're really going to work hard at it, ask if you can try.

Next, you have to get what's called a "head shot." This is a picture of you, so the people at Disney can see what you look like. On the back of the picture will be a list of your talents and the acting, singing and dancing you've done so far. This is very expensive, so your parents will have to find out who can do this for you where you live. The picture and the list on the back have to look a certain way. If you have an acting teacher at school, ask him if he can help you find out what you need to do.

Another thing you need to have is what's called a "demo reel." This is video of you acting, so the people at Disney can see your talent. This also has to be done a certain way, so talk to your acting teacher at school.

A lot of people then get an agent, who is somebody who knows about auditions, and goes to Disney and asks them to see you. This is a good person to get if you can, but agents are very busy and can't always see people. There are also some bad people who pretend to be agents, to get money from people without really doing anything. Tell your parents to go to www.sag.org to get help on finding agents for children.

A lot of people just send their "head shots" and "demo reels" to Disney themselves, without an agent. They don't have as much luck as people who have agents, but sometimes they do. If you want to do this, go to the library and look for a magazine called "Variety." They have listings of TV shows and the people who work on them. You want to find the person at the Disney Channel called the "casting director," whose job is to look at people (LOTS of people!) who want to be on the show. Once you get their name and address, you can send them (or your agent can send them) your headshot and demo reel, and a letter telling them why you think you would be good on the Disney Channel.

That's how lots of people try to get on the Disney Channel. But I just want to warn you again, there's LOTS of people who want the same thing. If you send your headshot and demo reel to the Disney Channel, there's a good chance that they won't even write back -- that's how busy they are.

A big part of being an actress is trying to get parts and not getting them. A lot of times, they don't even get auditions. But if you really want it, then you keep trying until someday you do get a part. It may not be on the Disney Channel, but it might be something even more fun.

Good luck!
