Answer 1

Sounds like your on the right track of doing the things you need to do.  Especially not letting other people get to you about your dreams.  Keep on pushing.

Answer 2

This website is regularly updated with Disney auditions ad pointers on your resume and head shot! But first...

1) Before you do anything you need to get TONS of experience/training. Community theaters, school plays, voice classes, drama classes, dance classes. The more experience/training the better. You should also try to become a "Triple Threat". In today's society, you really have to be talented in all three in order to appear on TV/movies.

2) Once you are skilled and have lots of experience you need to build your resume. Refer to the website I gave you if you need help creating a resume. You will also need a head shot, which is a natural picture of you that casting directors will see before anything. Make sure these are professionally taken and updated whenever you change your look. Also, make sure you look like you in your picture. If you normally have crazy curls don't straighten your hair for your picture (unless of course that's how you wear it everyday).

3) You will need an agent now that your resume and head shot are taken care of. Nobody in Hollywood will look at you if you don't have an agent. At the same time, don't depend on your agent to do everything for you. They have millions of other people to take care of along with you.

That's all basically but it is a long process that will take you much more time than it seems. You should also know this industry will probably be more convenient to you if you live in the L.A. or New York area but preferably L.A.

Good luck!

Answer 5

the obvious one, if you truly want it then go for it dont give up, go to as many different acting or singing classes, maybe even have a little show with differnet ppl and perform for them and take some constructive critism, find a manager, most people use friends or family members, practice everyday, try out for plays at your school if you have any, maybe you could even try asking ur teachers at ur school. thats pretty much all the advice i can give i doubt its any good but who knows

Answer 6

You should get a good agent. They should be able to get you the gigs you need to get to where you wanna be. It would cost money but only if you get the job and I'm almost sure it's somewhere around 10% of your pay. It's worth a try, you never know what can happen. You also probably would need to be willing to travel a little farther than your area because there many not me many good gigs around there, so be prepared for anything. I'm sure you can find something in the yellow pages or something like that. Don't trust all the sites out there, some have been known to prey on kids like you. Don't allow anyone to abuse your dream to become a star, because there are plenty who are ready to do so.
