Don't shoot for Disney!.

Why won't your mom let you!? Too much money for acting classes!? Too much time!? You're already too busy!?

Try to take acting classes!. If your mom won't let you, then save it for later!. Do lots of community theater! Get as much experience as you can!. Start doing plays more than anything else to show your mom you're serious and you want it and you're willing to work for it!. If she comes around, take local acting classes!. Get professional headshots, build your resume, and then send your headshot and resume out to agencies!. If they're interested, they'll contact you to meet with them, and perhaps you'll get signed! Then you can get auditions for things - like disney channel - otherwise, you won't be on disney!. In my opinion, I think actors should shoot higher than disney!. Get respect from ADULTS, not 7 year olds!.

Good Luck <3Www@QuestionHome@Com

You really have to have a passion to become an actress!.
not just for the fame or anything like that!.

There are like billions of girls out there that want the same thing you do!.
And that means there is alot of competition out there and you're mom probably doesn't want you to get let down if you don't get a part or make an audition!. or whatever the failure is!.

you have to respect you're mother's opinion!.
but have you even really talked to her about it!.

you might have just been like!.
"I want to be an actress!."

but did you give her the reason why!.
or how you are really ready for all the putdowns you might go through!.

have a conversation with her about what you can do to make yourself a better actress!.

show her that you are truly talented!.


and if that doesn't work!.!.!.
then you will probably have to wait until you finish school to start getting in the business!.
but between then and now get alot of experience doing local plays and productions and getting some experience under your belt!.

:)

you have to have the commitment, experience, dedication, time, and effort to get into this business!. Im not trying to discourge you from acheiving your dream, but you really gotta think about it and see if you have all of the qualities listed above!. But goodluck to you!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Finish school and get an agent if you still want to act!. Disney most likely would take years of acting training to get on!. These kids have been performing since they were babies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
