| Posted: 10 Nov 2015 06:14 PM PST Sorry, you can't just join or sign up for a Disney show (or any professional show). That's not how the industry works. Disney doesn't hold open auditions for shows filmed in the US. Even if you lived in the US, Disney doesn't hold open auditions for roles. Like most professional work you have to be invited to audition, usually through an agent. Contrary to popular belief - Disney actors (or any actor) are not just "discovered" and given an career. It's more like starting a business and you are the product that has to be marketed and sold. Companies invests a lot of money in their productions and they trust that investment to trained and experienced professionals. They are not looking for the "right" kid to take off the street and train them - they want kids who have already demonstrated they can handle the rigors of working at a professional level. Do be careful - there are a lot of scams and rip offs that prey on kids who mistakenly think they can be "discovered". Here's an article to give you a more realistic understanding of Disney auditions. The website in general can provide you and your parent more information about what is really involved in an acting career: http://bizparentz.org/thebizness/disneya... If you're interested in an acting career you start by taking acting classes. Voice and dance lessons can be fun too. Then audition for what you can in your area - school plays, community theater and the like. Basically focus on having fun and learning and growing as an actor and performer. While you do that, your parents can research and learn the business end of the industry. They need to understand things like the casting process (casting directors, agents, breakdowns, etc); legal requirements (contracts, unions, taxes, etc); effective marketing strategies (head shots, resumes, show reel, website, social media, etc); networking. We're talking a huge investment of time, effort and money for you and your family. And even then, there's no guarantee that you'll ever "make it". Once you get training and experience and once your parents learn the industry, then you guys can figure out if it really makes sense for you to attempt a professional career at this point. |

| Question: How to nail your improv audition? Posted: 10 Nov 2015 05:52 PM PST Follow the basic rules of improv during the audition: 1. "Yes, and..." Accept whatever your scene partner says as true and add information to it. Do not deny or try to change what someone has said. 2. Add information - don't ask open ended questions. Asking things like "who are you?" puts a burden on your scene partner. Then you're not working together but asking someone to carry you. Once you accept what's happening add detailed information to the scene. Be specific and detailed. 3. Establish location - if you're not given a location at the start make a statement about where you are as soon as possible. 4. Be in the here and now. Don't make the scene talking about something that happened in the past or something that will happen in the future. Focus yourself (and the scene) in the present. Don't be so worried about what you're going to say next that you miss what is happening now. Be present in the moment and LISTEN to your partners. Then respond and then - observe the impact of your response! React to your partner and allow them to react to you. 5. Tell a story. Improv is about taking random elements and creating a story. A story involves some conflict and it involves change. Your character should experience some conflict and change in the scene. And you can tell a story with more then word. Actions - even a facial expression/reaction speaks volumes. 6. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE FUNNY. Improv is not about coming up with a zinger line. Like I said, it's about telling a story. If you want to be funny then commit to a choice and take it to the nth degree. Your character doesn't just like peanut butter - they sculpt their perfect partner in peanut butter. 7. You look good by making your scene partners look good. Don't be so concerned with yourself that you basically ignore everyone else. Trust your scene partner and be worthy of their trust. |
