Just about all children and teens seem interested in Disney Channel auditions. They may not be actors or singers or dancers or even be interested in being actors or singers or dancers, but they still really want to be on Disney Channel.
You may be wondering how casting directors decide who to invite in for Disney movie auditions or Disney Channel Auditions. You probably also wonder how they go about selecting the actors for High School Musical movies and the many Disney Channel shows that you know and love.
Would you like to know what Disney Channel casting directors actually have to say on the topic of Disney Movie and Disney Channel auditions?
I just found this interesting video of Judy Taylor (VP of Casting & Talent Relations for the Disney Channel) giving her views on Disney Channel auditions (on YouTube from Backstage.com) and wanted to share it with you. She is discussing how some of High School Musical’s stars got their jobs with Disney and what Disney casting directors look for in their talent.
If you want to get Disney Channel auditions, the best thing to do is to remember that becoming a Disney Channel star or Disney movie star really is a process. You have to work hard at your craft (acting) by taking acting classes or working with a good acting coach and practicing acting skills daily.
It is also good to try to learn to do other things such as singing, dancing, sports, playing instruments, and anything else you have an interest in doing on the side. This helps your marketability. You never know when they will be looking for someone who can do Double Dutch or ride a unicycle!
You can learn more about what you can do to help improve your chances of getting Disney Channel Auditions in “How Do You Get Disney Acting Auditions?“, “How Do You Become a Disney Channel Actress?“, and “How Do You Get Auditions for Disney Channel?“.
Then, who knows, with a little luck and a few breaks, you just might be the next big Disney Channel star.

With best wishes for your success,

Yeah, that’s neat! Yeah, I think for places as popular and high up there like the Disney Channel, it is important to be good at as many things as possible, like you sing, you dance, you’re funny, you can juggle! etc…

Casting director of Disney has a very hard job in choosing the right actor/actress for a certain role for Disney. Lot’s of children love to be seen in TV and how much more in Disney, so we cannot blame if there are lots of children who love to audition in Disney’s projects even for a small role.

I have been surfing online greater than three hours these days, yet I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will probably be a lot more useful than ever before.

Hi Raeanna,
Sorry I did not see your comment until today! I guess you are there at iPop now. I hope it goes well for you. The best thing for a shy person is to work with a good coach a little bit who can really give you some good tips. The best thing is to really concentrate on your acting and being in the moment so much that you forget about who is watching you! Good luck, and let me know how it went. –To your success, Debbie
