Answer 1

How do you need help? It sounds good to me!

Answer 2

If you are in high school or recently graduated, you should have a professional resume and cover letter instead of this junk. This is not going to get yo anywhere. IF you are under 18 your parents have to write the cover letter, which should be a short, to the point formal business letter.  

Answer 3

Well, if you have any credits (i.e. school plays, etc.), make sure to include them; they look more impressive than "acting objectives."

Make sure you check everything too. For example:

- Figure out whether you're going to use upper case or lower case and stick with it. Don't write "High school Theater," write "high school theater" or "High School Theater."

- clarinet, not Clar net

- In the sports and hobbies section, they're looking for sports and hobbies they can film you doing, like playing soccer or knitting or whatever.

- I'll just rewrite your cover letter for you:

As long as I can remember, I have been performing and acting [that may be redundant]. I started when I was around three years old, and, thanks to my parents, haven't stopped since. Since I love it so much, I want to pursue professional acting. I have excellent memorization skills and I learn quickly. I am very dedicated and focused when it comes to acting [I presume, I'm not sure what the "this" refers to], and I hope to use my skills and passion for this art to entertain people. I also hope you can help me attain this dream. Right now, I would be willing to work as an extra.

Anything in brackets [] is a note from me. Also, make sure you put your name and contact information on the cover letter. I think it's also considered more professional to put their contact info on there too. I take it you're sending this in to Disney - break a leg!
