Acting is considered to be one of the most exciting creative arts, but at the same time exhausting. The best thing about it is that there are numerous avenues where qualified actors have an opportunity to pursue easily from commercials to theatres. It is important to note that the idea of finding acting jobs requires dedication, discipline and commitment. Without these three aspects, your search may be futile since you will end up giving up easily.
If you are in college or at an university, ensure that you participate in a theater arts program for acting. This is important as you will be able to develop skills and audition monologues that will be included in your vitae. After leaving school, college or university, ensure that you continue your education as an actor. For instance, you can choose to take some acting classes from a venue in your locality. You will have a chance of intermingling with other qualified performers and this will provide you with an opportunity to meet other professionals.
The number of people who “dream” of being a professional actor are in the millions. There are no official statistics published regarding the number of people who actively pursue acting jobs over the course of a given year, however the number is likely in the upper hundreds of thousands worldwide. This is a staggering number considering that there are roughly 50,000 acting jobs in a year, mostly comprising of small one-day roles. This figure also includes actors who worked on cruise lines, theme parks, summer festivals, and other non-film and television jobs.
Kids all over the country dream of making it big in show business. While acting jobs can be hard to land, it is possible to break into this difficult field by answering a call for a Disney Channel acting audition. Many of today’s hottest young entertainers got their start from a Disney Channel acting audition. Though there are sometimes hundreds, or even thousands of people competing for just a few spots, this has been the big break that boosted the career of many performers.
The easiest way to land a Disney Channel acting audition is through an agent. They are made aware of current calls and will have the specifics of the open roles available. It is much easier for inexperienced actors and actresses to get themselves noticed by using an agent than attempting to land these highly sought after roles on their own. While there are ways of getting a Disney Channel acting audition on your own, this is the simplest route.
There is a common myth regarding talent agents that work exclusively with Disney Channel to book talent for the network’s television series and movies. It is very important for actors to understand how the casting process works and television networks relationship with talent agents.
Many aspiring actors who dream of performing on Disney Channel have a misconception that there are talent agents who are either affiliated with the network or have exclusive relationships with the casting directors to hire actors. This is simply not the case.
Let’s start with how the casting process work in the entertainment industry regardless of the network or studio involved. Executives give the “green light” for TV shows and movies to be produced. Then the production company of the project hires casting directors, who in turn send out “breakdowns” of the characters being cast. These “breakdowns” actually are sent out by a service called “Breakdown Services” and are only available to licensed Talent Agencies.
The agents then submit photos, resumes, and sometimes “demo-reels” to the casting directors. The casting directors call in the actors that fit the roles they are casting, usually many many actors are called in. They then narrow down the talent to the best actors who came in and “call back” these actors to read again for the director, sometimes the writer, producer, etc. Then they narrow it down further, and sometimes there are 3 – 4 “call backs” before an actor is finally hired.
Occasionally a casting director will call in an actor who sends a photo and resume on their own without an agent. Some casting directors have assistants who sort through the mail and some do it themselves. When you are called to audition, you are given “sides” which is a few pages of script to read. You can usually download these lines a few days before the audition. Sometimes they have you do a “cold reading” where you are given the sides right there and then.
When you arrive, you sign in at the receptionist’s desk; wait in the front office usually with several other actors. When they call you in, you sit down and have a brief conversation with the CD. It is best to ask them a few questions about the script, project, role, etc., before they bring it up! And that is it. If you get a “call back” it is usually within a week, generally speaking.
Any talent agent can submit their actors to Disney Channel, and the network will call in actors regardless of who represents them, as long as the actor fits the character description. Indeed there are a few top-level agencies that only represent major stars, and may have several stars of a particular network on their roster. But there is no such thing as a “Disney Channel Agency”.

Hello, my name is Alice Harris. But I prefer Alice. I am 13 years old. i just want to say that i really love acting. when i was about 10 years old i was different from all the other kids. I was shorter and skinnier, and they made fun of me for it. That year we were doing a play and i decided to try. When i got up on that stage and started to portray my character and how she felt, all the names the other girls and boys called me faded. I felt as i could do anything. That is why i want to be an actor. i really appreciate your time you took out of your day to read this. I hope you consider me.
