Question

Is there a website (s) I can go to to get a list of Disney Channel TV shows and movie audition dates and where they are? Thanks so much!

Answer 1

No, unfortunately there isn't. In order to audition for Disney shows, you need to have an agent and live where they plan to have the auditions, usually Los Angeles.

In order to get an agent, you have to have done some acting work already and have taken several classes (acting, singing, dancing). Agents take on clients they believe are extremely talented and will make them money.

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. Reember that legitimate agents take 10% of your pay after you get a job, not a penny up front.

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.

PS - every once in a while I have seen a Disney audition come up on ActorsAcess, but honestly you have to look so often it's not really worth the trouble. You could also try ExtrasAccess.com or http://kidsmanagement.com/kids.html if you're in Los Angeles or a city where some other Disney show tapes. They have to get their extras from somewhere and they may get them from those places. These websites may charge a fee to sign up with them and for this type of service, that is normal.

Good luck
