Oh Dear! I Need Answers.?

Question

I think I want to become an actress. Preferably on Disney Channel [I'm 14.]

But the thing is, I have absolutely no previous experience, and I'm kind of shy. I also get pretty nervous doing things like oral reports, ect. Do you think if I took acting classes, that would change? I think my biggest problem is I'm not too confident.

Also, do you think being in school plays would help me get ahead in that career?

Aaaaannnndddddd, how can I get noticed by Disney?

Answer 1

School plays and acting classes are in fact a great way to start out and see if you have the talent to pursue a career in acting. Voice and dance lessons would be great if you can afford them. If you do well enough in that, you could consider getting a performance degree in college, though that's obviously a few years off for you.

And sorry, but Disney just isn't going to happen for you. You'd have to either have a famous last name like Miley Cyrus (daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus), or have been working professionally since you were much younger like Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez (these girls were both on Barney & Friends when they were around 10 years old), or the Jonas Brothers (Nick and Joe Jonas both appeared on Broadway in child roles before they ever started a band). Disney likes to give the illusion that they'll cast any plucky kid as long as they're talented enough, but they've got a lot of money invested in these kids, and they'll only deal with those that have proven themselves in other markets first.

First if your shy and not too confident def. take acting classes.
