How can I audition for Disney Channel?

Question:I have worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge. When I started out, I didn't have much information and spent countless weeks, months and even years learning the ropes by trial and error. I know how valuable information and resources are to people who are starting out from scratch. So I recently decided to use some of my spare time to create a blog with Disney Channel casting notices, audition information, information on getting an agent, demo-reels, resumes, etc. There are far too many scam artists out there who take advantage of those actors who are trying to make their dreams come true. The information and casting notices I provide are totally free and legitimate. Hopefully I can save some people a few bucks and a lot of footwork.

(I have also created a sister-site Hannah Montana Auditions, and a general Acting Auditions site)

Sincerely,

Alan Baltes

Things You’ll Need:

* Acting Classes
* Resumé software
* Resumé paper

Step 1:
Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.

Step 2:
Move to a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your resumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.

Step 3:
Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.

Step 4:
Get a headshot (see "How to Get a Headshot," under Related eHows).

Step 5:
Compose a resumé of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your resumé.

Step 6:
Send your headshot and resumé with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects.

Step 7:
Read the trade papers regularly: "Backstage," "Dramalogue," "The Ross Reports" and "Variety," as well as online publications such as newenglandfilm.com, as appropriate. Know what is being cast where, and send headshots and notes directly to directors and producers whenever possible, requesting auditions.

Step 8:
Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.

Step 9:
Persevere.
