singing is something I want to do. How is it possible

Question:I am active in the theatre department at my high school. Also, i spend alot of my time with choir. I feel like I am really good at both of these things. I have made many honor choirs in choir and I have been in several school productions.

How on earth do I get on Disney Channel, etc.?

At this point, your odds of getting onto any professional acting job are nearly nil, no matter how talented you are. Here's why; even if you got to an audition, you'd be competing with maybe 100 other girls--some of whom are your age and have been doing professional work since age 5, others who are 21 but who look and can act your age. Directors are ALWAYS going to want experience or they'll hire the adult to avoid all those child labor laws.

Realistically, what you want is a solid long-range plan to get into acting. Here's what to do:

1. Keep doing high school shows, get instruction in acting, dance, voice, and take a solid college-prep course schedule (four years English, four math, chem, physics, biology, psych, history--you'll be surprised how much of those subjects apply to theatrical arts!). And earn a smashing good GPA.

2. Get into other amateur shows in your area. Look for community theatre companies (ask at your local newspaper or library if you don't know who they are) and also college theatre departments--call and ask if they have a role in an upcoming play that you might play. If you don't land a role, see if you can volunteer backstage or even as an usher.

As you do these shows, you earn experience, but you also meet people who are knowledgeable about acting. Keep in touch with them!

3. Junior year of HS: work with your HS counselor and any knowledgeable theatre people you know to identify four or five college theatre programs that you'd want to attend. You're looking for Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) programs in theatrical performance--NOT just a bachelor of arts (BA) program, the BFA is much more rigorous and professionally-oriented. You should end up with 1 or 2 top programs that you stand a slim chance of getting into, 1 or 2 that are choosy and will probably accept you, and 1 that accepts everybody (that's your "safety net").

4. Senior year: EARLY, apply to those colleges. You do it early in your senior year because (a) some financial aid has early deadlines (b) after you get admitted to the college, you're still not into the BFA program in theatre--you have to get accepted into it separately.

Your odds of getting into a good BFA program will depend on:
--your resume (that's the list of shows you've done, including backstage work)
--your GPA/test scores and high school program
--recommendations (best ones come from people you've done shows with--especially college directors!)
--audition (you'll need to travel to the college at your own expense to show them you've got the goods).

The BFA program should polish your talents and give you a complete grounding in the details of show biz; then you'll be ready to begin that hard slog toward a professional career.

Yes, a few people make it to show biz by other routes, but this is the one taken by the great majority of working actors nowadays.

One last point-- do NOT hire an agent now. Any agent who would accept an amateur teen actress with no experience as a client is 99.999% likely to be a rip-off; don't waste your time and money.

Get an agent.

yeah i agree with the girl on top.u need to get an agent to do anything first,but when u get on disney channel and you're famous,remember me!

If you're under 18 you have to have a full time parent with transporation. You might be able to get an exemption if you're 17.

You need a head shot and resume.

You have to be able to travel to Los Angeles on your own nickel and audition and do call backs as required.

If you get an acting job and it's union you have to have $2,500 in one payment to buy your union card.

unless you are in LA you most likely don't, if you want a career as a teen (unlikely you are good enough as we are not effective judges of our own abilities, and you don't have enough time) you will need to have your parents work very hard to get you the experience, training and opportunities and some day an agent because you cannot sign a contract until you are 18,

I would definately take a look at proscout.com
They will jump start your carear!
When you attend an invitational you will meet at least 50 of the countrys top agents!
You will be wasteing your time if you send headshots to top agencys. When your at a proscout conference you can meet those agents in person all in a weekend!
If you have any questions about proscout or anything else email me at bigfootcoocha@yahoo.com

Well you need a few things. Go to this link. Its an acting page. I feel the same thing. Its really good because it show auditions for you. It doesn't really link to Disney because you will need an agent for that. Go to this link and sign up.

http://www.actorspages.org

Easy sign up and look at the casting notices. You need to take lessons and join some clubs. Easy and some clubs are even free. Write down a resume'. That is a list of Experience you have. Example;

Took 1 Speech Class
Took 2 Acting Classes
Took 2 Dancing Classes
Starred in two productions as Leading Role
Past all Exams in acting
Top of the Class in my acting class

So write it down. And all your contact details, contact.
Get some profesional photos. If you can do that, look your best get in your best clothes and get Friends or Family to take it.

So maybe do some research on the internet for contract or Local auditions. So big time directors will organize for light arrangements, accommodation, Food, so on so on.

If you can afford it its best to get a agent. He will organize a acting contract. So yeah, If its fun its not work.

Break a leg!
