How to get in the Disney acting Business?

Question

My mom said that I should try acting to boost my self confidence and get out of my shyness I am 12 years old and I want to be an actress for disney how can I do that in a quik amount of time

Answer 1

I would not advise this because a life of acting can be very difficult and very very emotionally upsetting.  But if you want to do it. You need to research what companies are producing the kinds of shows you want to try for. You need to contact the companies that are in charge of casting, and you almost definitely need to move to Santa Clarita, California where Disney films their shows.

These shows are sometimes handled by smaller production companies who hire casting directors who hold auditions.  You need to get in touch with these people.  Use tools like IMDB.com to see who the casting directors are.  Use google to see if you can find a business address or phone number.  Then you can ask about specific audition dates or "open calls."

You probably can't just leave and move to California, nor should you do that without talking to your parents obviously. You should DEFINITELY NOT take the advice of strangers on the internet before talking to your parents.

Good luck with your quest.  One more piece of advice, you do not have to act for Disney in order to be made happy by acting. You can act in local theater or at school.  There are almost definitely 3 or 4 different theaters in your area.  Call them and see if they have auditions coming up, or classes, or if they know of any classes you can take somewhere else.

Answer 2

hey , um you cant just get onto Disney channel quick you have to go to acting school which i went to and i graduated but they just take money from you so don't do them and u don't really have to go. i want to be an actress and a singer but i already got a studio and I'm good at being a singer but now I'm still on the actress thing and its working too i did allot so far and it so cool also you need a resume you need like alot togive out to agents and you need a head shot or a body shot thats a problem cuse them cost from about 200-1000 dollars.  200 is the cheapest for a good head shot . And you have to go to auditions wherever you will or states that you live close to and you have to no how to act and act in school so that you can put that on you resume and also special skill/ talents work best if you no how to cry that would be a big boost but if u do bad then it sucks cause u feel really bad im been to about 2000 auditions so far. and some agents are really scary lol. good luckk <3

Answer 3

all real agents are free.

and only get 10-20 % of the money you make doin commercials etc.

if some1 says you ahve to pay them for them to be your agent they their a scam!

and you need to bget experience cause it will look great on your resume example:

acting classes

singing classes

plays(major roles wouild look great)

and go to actinginfo.blogspot.com for auditions hope i helped

and talentagents.blogspot.com for agents.

trust me it wont be in a quick amount of time it takes years and years and years! im 14!

you ahve to start with acting classes and do school plays and build up your resume! get an agent and start at the bottom of the ladder like every famous person did with commercials! and small parts in films but if you get offered something big then go for it! GOODLUCK!

Answer 4

Man im trying to do the same thing as you but theres no quick way you have to have some experience if you don't try out for school plays or try out at your community theater get a head shot and an agent but if its just to boost your self confidence don't count on making it to Disney you have to know how to act and you have to have a passion but theres a lot of different things to do than trying forever to make it to Disney
