First tip: DO NOT USE EXPLORETALENT.COM -it is a scam website. Anything that requires you to pay, before getting cast, is a scam.

In answer to your question, to get on a station like Disney Channel, it will take lots of hard work and perseverance.

Step 1: Try your hand at local plays, musicals, commercials, infomercials, and print work.

Step 2: Send your newly bulked up resume, headshot and cover letter out to SAG registered agencies. To find a list of agencies in your state, look here:
http://www.sag.org/sagWebApp/application?event=bea.portal.framework.internal.refresh&pageid=AgentInformation

Step 3: In 4-6 weeks, an agency should contact you, if they are interested, and call you in for an interview. If not, after the 4-6 weeks, it is acceptable to send postcards with your headshot on one side, and resume on the other to the same agencies.

Step 4: Assuming by then that you are signed, your agent can then get you more profile auditions and bookings. Like regional work. Remember, you have to start small, and get bigger, work your way up.

Step 5: After working in the regional circuit, you're ready to join the big leagues, and and audition for things like what you dream of. Your agent is the one who would be able to book you an audition with Disney (assuming they were casting someone of your type).

Good Luck, hope to see you on DC!

All you need to do is study the craft until you are good enough to get paid for it. Then move to Los Angeles with your entire family. Then get a SAG franchised talent agency that handles kids to sign you to a contract across the board. (The most difficult contract to get) Then you have to find out what "across the board" means. Then wait until they are casting for a new role on a Disney channel show. Then your agent will submit you. Then the casting people have to pick you out of the several hundred kids who were also submitted for an audition. Then audition against a hundred or so other kids they picked and get the part over all of them. ALL of these things have to happen or you will never be on a show on the Disney Channel. That's the way it really works. You said you love to act. So act. If you really love it you won't care about being on TV.

You can begin small and paintings your means up. Disney Channel does no longer have open auditions so you'll be able to want an agent. Why promote your self brief to Disney? There's such a lot bigger appearing possibilities in the market.

Start out with some local theatre stuff, then when you've done a lot of that audition for some small independent movies casting in your area if there are any. You might want to get an agent then move up to the big screen if you think you're capable of it.

Hi,

the first thing that comes to mind after reading your question is, "Are you ready to audition for Disney?". The reason I ask is because there has been an onslaught of questions here recently by folks asking the same question. It seems that Disney is the place everyone wants to be.

Having said that, you know that the people already working there are trained professionals. Are you? If so, then I have a suggestion for you. There are many actors who are very, very good, but don't get seen and don't get a chance to audition for the casting directors they really want to audition for, because they don't have the business skills they need to be successful. And so, their talent goes unnoticed. What a shame. Really. I have a friend who was like that for a long time and now she is beginning to come around.

In the long-term, you will want to develop these four areas, these four key factors if you want to be successful in this industry. Studying and taking classes is a given as is studying the industry (which, by the way will help you to be able to answer that question for yourself in the future). In addition there are these four thing:

Go to this link and see some of the issues actors often have before they even get close to the job that you aspire to: http://www.actingcareerstartup.com

I’ll send you to this page to see what it can be like to be an actor looking for work. This could be typical day, like it was once for me: http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/working_as_an_actor.html

1) KNOWING YOURSELF AND FIGURING OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT: greater knowledge of yourself: strengths, weaknesses, resources you have at your disposal (and not only financial!)
Clarity of your vision for the future of your career in a very detailed way. If you can do that, your actions will be more focused and you will waste less time and energy. To put it in a positive sense, you will optimize your efforts and probably get results faster.
2) DEVELOPING YOUR MOTIVATION & CREATIVITY: The ability to keep yourself motivated to do what is necessary daily to further your career. Knowing how to do that will help you tremendously!
The creativity and innovation to apply in promoting yourself and helping you to stand out. You can imagine how important that will be with all the competition there is!
3) PUTTING TOGETHER A PLAN: a solid and detailed plan for how you intend to achieve that vision. Many people think that planning is writing some stuff down on a piece of paper and doing those things. There’s much more to it than that!
4) MANAGING YOUR BUSINESS: essential business skills that will help you to be successful as the free-lance professional that you are as an actor. Unfortunately many actors don't realize that they are in business, with a product to sell and promote, that is themselves.

I have been paying close attention to actors now for the last 3 1/2 years and I have seen it over and over again. So, so many actors overlook these basic, four crucial steps and when I see acgors who are successful, a good percentage of the time, they have met all four characteristics. When I see actors stumbling around, wallowing around, not really getting anywhere in their careers, most of the time it leads back to one or more of these four things.

So what's the answer to your question?

Go to the following page and take the actor quiz. It will help you realize some things you know and things that you don’t but should know with regard to your acting career. http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/actor_quiz.html

Make sure you are prepared, so take classes and be the best you can be.

Study the industry, so you know what's going on.
Start with this basic industry trade paper:

Ross Reports. It comes out monthly and has information you need about who to get in touch with.

And whatever you do, don't forget to work on yourself.

Good luck!

Tony

You need a Talent Manager or Talent Agent to submit you for roles when something is "right" for you.

If you live in Los Angeles,
contact Talent Manager: Vincentcirrincione.com
