Answer 2

Heey.
Well im sure you must know it isn't as easy as knowing the producer. It takes so much more then that. You need to have an agent. Be able to act. Have an awsome personality.
The dinsey channel is one of the hardests channels to get on. I would know. I've auditioned so many time and have never gotten a role. (wizards of weaverly place)

But if you would like to begin acting. Start with some simple plays or acting lessons. Then contact some agents and ask about them reprosention you.

Becomeing an actor is a very hrd job. And it's full of rejetion. So think about it before you really but all the money and work into it.

And if you still would love to be on the disney channel. Once you get an agent speak to them to focus in that area. Aswell as looking online for open called auditions.

Good luck out there!

Get used to the realities of life 90% of the actor's union is out of work 98% of the time, the average union actor makes under $10K a year and works telemarketing or waiting tables the rest of the time.

You need a professional head shot. A resume of your college and professional theater, film, video, commercial and TV work.

You typically need to be located in Los Angeles or NYC for TV work.

All TV work is union and it costs $2,500 to get your SAG card, one payment, certified check.

The studios get fined $1,000+ for using non-union talent unless they can prove you have a special skill not found in the union ranks.

Once in the union yo can't work non-union nor be represented by an agent who is not Guild franchised or you get fined.

Dues are $30 a quarter, plus a percetage of your income.

If you are under 18 a parent must be with you at all times and 50% of your income must go into a court supervised trust account until you are 18.

Work is generally 8-14 hours a day once you are over 18, base pay is $600 per day or $2,200 per week

If you are under 18 it's 2 hours on, 4 hours in studio school, 2 more hours on, 2 more hours on.

You have to provide your own transportation to sets, locations, casting calls and interviews.

You are not paid for casting calls unless called back a third time.

If you are over 18 and manage to get work in a series (99% of the union never works a series) in your second or third year you can ask to direct.

A directors guild card is $25,000 in one payment, certified check. You cannot direct a 2nd epsidoe without buying your card. And once again the stuio gets fined $5,000+ for going outside the union.

Minimum fee for a 1 hour show is $35,000 gross from which they take out 40% in taxes and agent fees. It covers 3 week work including saturdays.

Directors work day is typically 12 hours 6 days a week. One week location scouting and casting. 1 week shooting, 1 week editing.

Dues are around $200 a quarter plus 1/4% of your yearly income as a director.

Answer 4

Unfortunately for you, many directors won't take someone into their production for the sake of it, they either go to a drama school, school or audition for people.

I suggest you take an audition somewhere local and move up from their.
Many people just like the idea of being 'famous' and think "it's easy to get famous acting, and probably the most simple way", but it's not, there are thousands of actors and only a handful of them make it into the big productions and films.
(sometimes acting is about looks AND skill - think about Tom Cruise)


But go ahead and take your chance, you never know ;)

Answer 5

No, noone can help you. Your wish is unrealistic and impossible. If you want to be an actor, it will take you years to get enough experience and training to do that and by then you will no longer be interested in Disney.

Answer 6

Might try setting your sights a little lower. Unless you are fantastically good looking or cute. Hey, it worked for that 'smallville' guy.
