  1. I.D.K. sorry!


  2. Find a local acting class and then well everything will fall in place.

  3. The first thing you MUST do is have a portfolio made.  My daughter had her's made for less than $300.  She's now a very successful model.  In the meantime, have photos of yourself made until professional ones can be done.  Make sure that you are not "posing", be real.  They can even be cheap, disposable camera photos...they are NOT looking for pro's for most jobs, just a certain "look".  Send out your photos with your stats on the back to every agency you can get.

  4. trust me if u think u can do it then nothing can stop u. ask  my friend theater doc hes got a lot of experience. even im trying to be an actor .

  5. The best talent to have is what they call "the triple threat", singing/dancing/acting.

    If you try out for Disney they are going to want all 3 of those.  Just think about Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera~they all started out on the new Mickey Mouse Club, and they all had to sing, dance, and act for that show.

    So if you don't have all three, I'd suggest you take either singing, dance-that incorporates ballet, tap, and some of the newer hip-hop, contemporary dances.  And then acting, of course.  You can buy books that have monologue audition segments you can practice on.

    This is not an easy career to break into, but it can be done with hardwork and determination.

    I used to work at the (now defunct) Opryland, but as they did I know that Dollywood, and other entertainment locations have tryouts all the time for their acting staff.  Like Six Flags, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios, Kings Island, etc.  I might set my sites their first, before trying out for the "big Kahuna" - Disneyland or Disney World.

    There are open calls for actors in the newspapers from time to time but you'll need to belong to a union (like musicians need to join the Musicians union, or screen actors need to join SAG-the Screen Actor's Guild).  And as far as talent agents, you can google that on the internet or check your local newspaper, under talent.

    Just be careful you don't get taken by an unscrupulous person.  I think there are probably more of those in this business than in most others.

  6. Talent agent do not make people into actors. They represent people who are already actors. So that is what you have to do, become an actor. Act in your school and community plays as often as possible, and if you are good at it, take professional classes, build a strong resume that indicates to an agent that you are an actor.  Unless you live in LA, have parents who are actively promoting your career, and have had years of training and experience already, forget about Disney. Concentrate instead on becoming a good actor. Maybe, if you have the gift and you are lucky, you will make it.

  7. you need to have experience. build up a resume. make sure you can dance and sing well cause sweetie its competitive out there. you get a talent agency by going to a talent agency and audition for them and they will determine if youre good enough
