Disney Casting Calls?

Question:

Disney Casting Calls?

Hello, I'm Erin. I'm 12. I've been in ALOT of Community, and School plays. Where, would I find Open Casting Calls, for Disney? Please, don't say John Robert Powers, I've been there, done that. They're a rip off! Any websites, I've tried Disney.com, and Disneyauditions.com, and Disneycastingcalls.com, None of them really work...Please tell me some websites, or events for Casting Calls, for the TV shows, in Atlanta. :) Thanks!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Kudos to you for staying away from JRP! You need an agent to get real Disney casting info. If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)

Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.

Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.

Actorsaccess is your best bet for finding Disney info without an agent since they are linked to Breakdown Services which is where they send their audition notices to the agents, but you literally have to check constantly because you don't know when the info you want may pop up.

Most important though, Disney kids are well trained actors. Get yourself into some calsses and get some experience. Try local theatres, school productions, do anything you can to get experience and build a resume.

Good luck!
