How do you become a Disney star?

Question

Becoming a Disney star is my dream. I can act, but I don't have a lot of experience because I don't do plays because I'm not the greatest singer lol . (they are all musicals) But do you know any auditions I could sign up for ? This is my dream. Please help !

Answer 1

First you going to have to go to acting schools for training. Not only one but a couple. Then you should get in local plays, school plays, student films. You could search for auditions on craigslist.com or subscribe to backstage.com The you should get headshots that look like you. Professional headshots are pretty expensive they cost $200-$1000 but on craigslist you could find less expensive headshot that range from $50 to $150. As you get more and more credits on your resume, you may want to go for an agent. An agent gets you auditions and they want people who they think would nail all the auditions they give. If you get a part in an audition. The money you make out of that work you pay 10% to your agent. ONLY 10%. If they ask for money upfront they are a SCAM. Once you get an agent you would start getting a lot of auditions which means more audition. As you make money out of roles you make you may want to get professional headshots. Then in the future you may want to join Union such a SAG, AFTRA , AEA.... HOPE I HELPED

Answer 2

Here is your answer. Research actors that have done Disney projects that you could see yourself doing. Find out who their acting coach was, which agent got them the audition, and which casting director they auditioned for. Get into a great acting class and start the process of learning how to do what you want to do. Start looking for opportunities to work with or meet the people you researched and slowly check off the list as you meet them. You'll be putting yourself in the right circles to achieve your goal, but you better be sure that you are ready when the opportunity comes. Do as many small, local projects that you can to develop your resume and audition as often as you can. Nothing happens over-night, but if you follow these steps at least you know you're working towards reaching your goals. Good Luck!

** by the way, Disney does not have agents, they rely on outside agents to submit their talent to Disney Projects. Don't look for an agent until you have developed enough skill and talent to offer to that agent.

Answer 3

Two choices:

1. Get your father to become a minor country music personality

2. Join school and community dram groups, take classes in and/or out of school.  Work to get into a good school with a performing arts program.

Answer 4

This is hard, cause I don't want to ruin your dream... cause its a good one (I've had the same one for many years...but mine is to be a cartoon, not so much a "Disney Star")

Unless you're actively in the industry, as in working everyday at auditions in one of the metro cities that Disney works out of... its going to be really hard... (LA, Orlando, New York)

So! You'll have to be patient, Disney does have a lot of cattle call auditions, and those are all over the country so always look into those ( I think they're promoted on Disney websites...), but you should try to go to a performing arts high school, or a really good undergrad BFA in acting/musical theatre program. Start putting together a reel of your work, and a voice reel (for voice overs and promos). If you're really lucky someone may take notice of these.

You will eventually have to deal with getting an agent, and manager, and Union Affiliation, and ... all the business end type stuff (which is done by all the parents of these child stars at a very young age).

Start slow, be humble, and just keep motivated and you'll find a way to make it.

Good Luck

Answer 5

From personal epxrineses, dont only try to do disney. Get an agent(you need one! they get you adutions with big time companies like disney) then an acting coach, go to classes and adution for everything you possibly can. The more you do the more you have on your resume. The more well know you become and then try to do disney. You need alot more expirence then that, but your off to an exxcelnt start! The people who disney is looking at have had privte lessons snice they were five.

Answer 6

OMG!! finally i found someone who wants to do the same as me... well my best answer is to look up disney agents and then contact them... they hopefully should start you up there :)

Hope this helps :)

Answer 7

well you have to go to their studios in orlando first lol.

then just go when theres auditions. but usually if you have 0 experience like you do, they wont cast you.

so just do plays in cities like new york or cali first.

alternatively you could go to LA and do a bunch of commercials.
