Disney does NOT do Open Casting Calls! If someone is claiming an open casting call for Disney, then it's a SCAM like John Robert Powers, John Casablancas, Barbizon, ACT/tHe!

5. Get an Agent

To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won鈥檛 see you unless you鈥檙e SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.
You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:
-Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.
-Attend a showcase and impress them. By showcase I do not mean scammy conventions like IMTA, IPOP, Proscout, or Best New Talent. I mean legit ones like at Actor Connection, Reel pros, Network Studios, etc.
-Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you鈥檙e interested in
DON鈥橳
-Email them unless they tell you to. IT鈥橲 UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!
-Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent鈥檚 ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print
THE is a very good place to start at an acting job.

When is the disney nationwide casting call 2010 going to happen?Not until March 2011. You already missed the two 2010 casting calls - they were held March 27th in Austin and April 10th in Nashville
Disney only holds these calls in March/April when they are casting for the upcoming fall season. The fall 2010 season shows are already in production so they won't do another open casting until next spring
http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/op鈥?/a> is the offical Disney Channel site where they announce any open calls.
its over:/When is the disney nationwide casting call 2010 going to happen?
