Answer 2

Answer 3

Oh Disney Channel.. =) My dream too.

But I'll tell you what I've heard and am working on.

To start , you need to take acting courses and join local theaters near your area. Now , keep in mind that your mom and dad know about this..lol..you wouldn't want to waste an opportunity by getting called for an audition and you just answer my parents can't drop me . That's a waste. So make sure your parents are putting as much as effort as you are to make your dream come true.

Ok , take as much as classes possible , join as much as local theaters and get some experience "under your belt".

Once you've done that build your resume , since your a beginner , you might want to start with a "Beginners Acting Resume" and not a "pro" one yet.

If you want a sample of a beginners acting resume then contact me by Y! Answers.

Ok , so continuing , there a LOT and A LOT of other ppl with the same dream . But I suggest don't give up.

After your resume is created , go for a fun photoshoot and get yourself a colored headshot (not so cheap and not so expensive).

Make sure your headshot shows your personality and it has to be 8 x 10 stapled in the back of your resume outward.

Now , go for an agent .. send your resume and headshot to an agency.

Well , for now you could start off like that.

it's kinda hard to land a disney role but im sure you will make it if you beliee in yourself and give it all you have. DONT RUSH THINGS.

It could sound complicated , messed up , harsh, or how you might call it ..but at the end its worth it all.

If i can do it , you too!

Good Luck!

Btw : im a teen too! :P lol

Answer 4

acting classes and a manager with experience. (i've done modeling)

Answer 5

keep active. Be multi talented (juggling, singing, guitar, dance, others) keep practicing and never give up

always look for auditians, even if you dont get the lead, any experience is good experience

"There are no small parts, just roles with less lines to remember"

always keep an open mind

when you are acting a character, you are the character, think as how the character would think and stay in character as much as you can.

Good Luck

anothing thing, Jamie Fox always wanted to be a singer but people said he was too funny. so he became a comedian, from there he took more dramaic roles, and when he finalily had a name for himself, a singing career was easy to get.

have a goal and find out how to get there

Answer 6

First, take some acting courses. Then, keeps your eyes open for news of casting calls in your area.You can find them in the paper, or sometimes hear ads for them on the radio.Go to as many as you can to get yourself out there...Good Luck!

Answer 7

get agent, find acting jobs, and perfect your craft.  try this website to look for acting jobs: hollywood-opportunities.com

Answer 8

Classes are not first. Why waste your money if you are not a good actor?  Classes do not teach you talent.  You have to have that first. You find out if you have talent and you refine that talent by being in all the plays you can at school, at church and in the community,. Then, why you are pretty sure it is worth spending money on, take a class.  You keep acting and taking classes until you have a really good resume, and then you try to get an agent,.
