You've been on here asking everyone else to do the work for you. We've given you TONS of links, websites, and advice that's good. Use those links and do the work. It's exhausting that because you don't get the precise answer you want you keep asking. You don't want mean comments but the fact is that people are fed up with you wanting spoon-fed answers. Look it up! You can also get books on these things at the library, there are TONS! Show more initiative, it will get you so much further in life.

EDIT: I don't know if anyone else got a lovely note from this child, but let me share what she decided to send me privately:

From: Disn3yDr34m3r

Subject: Shut up

Message: You need to stop getting an attitude with me and I am Making an effort but you don't see it because you are not in my life!And yahoo! questions does not say only 3 questions per person and if you have a problem with this again then don't answer it!OKAY

So this is what she thinks even though so many of us have already tried and obviously failed to help her. Our advice has fallen upon deaf ears. I say we give up.

I can see that you have asked multiple times, this same question. The people who have gone out of their way to look up these agencies have tried to help you. Why the heck would you keep asking the same question? I am fairly new here and am in awe of the number of naive children asking how to get on the Disney Channel. It is UNBELIEVABLE! First of all, agents do NOT simply represent someone to get them on Disney Channel. If all they did was submit you to casting notices (aka breakdowns) for the Disney Channel, you would be extremely lucky to get one audition a year, if even that!!! Unless you are a top name actor, you simply do NOT get to pick and choose what kind of acting jobs you want to do, no matter what you look like or how talented you are. You take what you can get, which 99 percent of the time is very very little. Hollywood is jam packed with hundreds of thousands of very talented kids. You must take the auditions and jobs that you do get. Agents often will ask a prospective client why they want to act, and what their goals are. If you say "To be on the Disney Channel", you will be sent out the door quicker than you can say "Boo!". How do I know all of this you ask? Because I have been a professional working actor and member of SAG and AFTRA for over 20 years, am a member of the SAG Equal Employment Opportunities Committee, and currently work as a Production Manager for a major studio (can you guess which studio?). Here is a sample of a current statistic that ALL aspiring actors should read:


"Some well-known actors—stars—earn well above the minimum; their salaries are many times the figures cited, creating the false impression that all actors are highly paid. For example, of the nearly 100,000 SAG members, only about 50 might be considered stars. The average income that SAG members earn from acting—less than $5,000 a year—is low because employment is sporadic. Therefore, most actors must supplement their incomes by holding jobs in other occupations."

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to discourage anyone from following their heart and dreams. But after reading all of these requests for help on getting on the "Disney Channel", I now see just how huge a problem there is with kids not realizing how absurd of a question they are asking.

I guess I have taken for granted all of the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years, and have not seen just how many aspiring actors are not informed about the business of acting.

Here is something that George Clooney told a room full of SAG members recently:

"If there is ANYTHING ANYTHING ANYTHING at all that you can do besides acting, GO DO IT! Because the acting profession is a demeaning, low-paying, rejection filled, painful, and near impossible career to pursue. I would NEVER EVER recommend to ANYONE regardless of looks or talent, that they should become an actor. That would be horrible advice to give anyone"

So in summation, you should take the advice of those in the know, such as newyorkgal71 and Marianne D. These people obviously are spending a great deal of time helping people and their time should not be wasted.

So good luck with your dreams, just try to be somewhat realistic!

No, because agents for children, work in the same office as the agents that represent adults. If you need a list, you can research it.
