How Do You Become a Disney Channel Actress?

Categories:

Become a Child Actor, Disney Acting Auditions

by Debbie Sikkema

It seems like every girl I know has the desire to become a Disney Channel actress.  And there is nothing wrong with wishing for that, or with dreaming about being a Disney Channel star.

And frankly, little girls could dream of things a lot less wholesome than Disney, so I say let them keep dreaming.  What could be more magical for a young girl than being on the Disney Channel where everyone they know can see them?

The fact is your daughter could become a Disney Channel actress, or your son could become a Disney Channel actor.  But the reality is that these things are dreamed by many but achieved by few. And rarely do young people become Disney Channel stars overnight, regardless of how it may appear.

If you look at the history of nearly any Disney Channel star, you’ll find that they worked in the entertainment industry for a number of years before becoming a star.

Look up some of your favorite Disney Channel stars from High School Musical in the Internet Movie Database (e.g., Ashley Tisdale). Check out the earliest listed tv or film role there and the year they became a Disney Channel star. There were probably at least three or four years between their first listed role and when they became a star on Disney Channel.

So parents, you can help your child chase after every Disney opportunity you hear about (see more discussion on this topic in How Do You Get Auditions for Disney Channel).  But truthfully, the time you and your young actor spend doing those things could be better spent.

If you really want to give your child the chance to become a Disney Channel actress or actor, you need to guide them to do things that are more likely to make a difference in the long run.  So what can you do?

The truth is, while there are absolutely no guarantees in showbiz, there are things you can do to help increase your child’s chances of succeeding with Disney or in the entertainment industry in general.  The following is a good list to start with:

  • Enroll your child in acting classes. Research to make sure the teacher is reputable.
  • Enroll your child in voice classes or lessons. Singing ability and training can be a real plus for Disney Channel roles.
  • Enroll your child in a comedy and improvisation class. This is particularly valuable for Disney-type shows, plus it is a lot of fun.
  • Seek representation of a talent agent and/or talent manager for your child as this is the best way to get your child into Disney auditions.
  • Encourage your child to get involved in community, church, and school plays or other activities where they can perform.

If your child really does want to become a Disney Channel actress or become a Disney Channel actor, help them to keep that dream alive by having them develop skills and do things that could actually help them achieve that goal.

And remind your child that becoming a Disney Channel star is not something that happens quickly.  If it is something they really want, they need to work hard to try to get it.  And they need to be patient.

    Hi my name is mashu but i go by Cece i am 14 years old and i live in Oklahoma but im so willing to go anywhere to chase my dream of becoming an actor. Do you ever wish for something and on the outside your optimistic but in the back of your mind its so far away? Ive always wanted to be and actress but it seemed so far away from reach. Being and African, your parents always want you to become a lawyer, a doctor and such but ive always had a passion for the arts. If only i am given a chance OH i know i can show how much i can offer to the world. To be honest i think i can dance and i am a good actress though i have had no classes and my singing is not perfect but i believe it is good . If your actually reading this i just wanna say thank you because i know there’s another million girls out there who have this same dream. It would make my dreams come true if you actually think of endorsing me and getting me on disney channel
    Thank you 🙂

    Hi, name is above…. 😐
    Uh… I guess I have to say that acting is unbelievably hard to get into especially because thousands of others want to too… I don’t have much to offer for history but I have sang in choir and a church practice, lol… 😳 But if it means anything to them, I have a lot of experience that others don’t like horse riding, gymnastics, hunting, writing skills, and more… 😛 But I have to go, please have more tips later…

    Hi! My name Is Sara and I have always wanted to become a singer/actress on Disney Channel since I was 8…….. I am 12 now and have improved on my singing and acting abilities haha. For some reason watching Ross Lynch from Austin and Ally has sparked my interest even more because he wants to be “discovered” like me i guess you could say……. I wanted to get a youtube account so I could make videos showing me singing but i don’t have one yet soooooo. Anyways like I said before I want to get into acting postitions and singing so I have always dreamed of being on Disney Channel and i’ve hoped that one day people will be singing MY songs too or admiring me! 🙂 And Ross Lynch has inspired me even more so thanks although idk how he did but he did so I owe him a big thanks if my dream comes true bye!

    I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve introduced in your post. They are really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for novices. May just you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

    Come on people! I know you want it SO bad, but THOUSANDS of others do to. You have to make your own luck. Don’t pester the person who wrote this, he/she isn’t going to help you. She/He already explained what they could. Please, make a reasonable comment about how you appreciate the help of the person who wrote this. Not “Please help me! I have great talents, etc.”

    You know what the greatest advice given to me was? Make you own luck… You can’t just sit around and win the lottery without buying it. My mother and I buy lotteries EVERY gosh dang day! We don’t get more than 20 dollars. She works SO hard at her job, and she comes home from work doing MORE work by helping us kids and trying to make OUR wishes come true. I pray to God to help me with my dreams of becoming an actress, and I could’ve SWORN that all I heard when I prayed was “make your own luck”.

    That’s all I can say… Please just take the shortest time to think about it. You can’t just walk across the street and ask a stranger to help you become a star and expect them to say, “Of course! Here’s my number, I’m an Acting Agent.” Because if they do, it’s probably just a money scam or they are going to kill you… Man… Sorry for the thought, but it’s true..

    True Intentions,
    Maggie

    Thanks for reading and commenting. Maybe some voice lessons will be a good idea for you to improve your singing so your mom and dad will like your voice. Good luck with becoming an actor.

    Hi Maggie,
    You sound like a very wise girl. With acting, what you are saying is so true. You have to get out there and work hard to try to make the dream of becoming an actor come true. It is not easy to do, and often it takes many years of hard work to get much success at all. So many people think they can get rich by becoming an actor and don’t realize what it takes to even get a single acting job. Most actors are far from rich. You must love it and work very hard at it to have any chance of success, and there are never any guarantees. Good luck to you.
    Sincerely,
    Debbie

    hi my names Kirsten if you actually read threw most off the comments they mostly all have is ever since i was little <<<< yeah i'm pretty shore that everybody has a dream and they might have had that dream since they was little but what people are not doing is doing something about there dream , but what ever your dream is you have to work for it , i have met so many people in my life who want to become famous but they haven't done anything about it . i mean I've got a dream and so does everyone else but sometimes they don't even relies it , my dream is to become an actor , but also a dancer and at the moment i am trying to do this dream on my own , and no, i don't go to clubs or anything like that but i research and make websites and i share the links , i also have a facebook page were people go on it and leave comments and like the page , i do try at everything to become a famous actress like selena gomez did but im shore that other people do is well but if you just sit and leave your comments on this page and not going to do anything about it then please follow your dream and make it happen because no one is just going to read threw your comment now and say oh wow she/he wants to become a famous actress/actor or a singer lets make them famous , its not like that , in films yes but in reality no . so go out there and do something about your dream like i am because no one is going to do anything about it until you make the first move !!

    im kirsten and im 12 years old and i want people to make there dream happen !!

    I have always wanted to be an actor, from the time I was 5. But for some reason no one has reconized my talent. So I just sing and learn a part that is small. I try to go big but no one can hear me. 😥 I feel so alone! 🙁 But when I sing or act in a small play at my church or camp, I feel like “who cares how I am? I am me here, and I will always be perfect for myself” 🙂 Although after I’m done people smerk and try to hold back the laugh. 😥 So that makes me feel insecure. So I sing Beautiful. If I could become an actress I would devote my life to it. But if it doesn’t work, I can always be a vet! 😉 .So hear me out, anyone who reads this. 😀

    Hi, my name is Sarah and like all the others I have wanted to become an actress for a long time. I am not going to brag or say I am good or anything. I am just looking for a chance. There are 3 reasons i need the money. (1) My family is a total of 9 and we don’t have alot of money so we have to live in a three bedroom house. 🙁 But you guys don’t need to hear my sob story. Anyways (2) my second reason is for hospitals and children/families in need. and (3) My final reason is for birthdays. I know that it is very rare that I will ever get noticed but I will not give up. My family has gone through many rough times when we needed money. I have been told by Debby Ryan’s makeup artist to get a professional head shot, but my mom said that it costs up to $1000 to get a good one. I am also on ExploreTalent.com but it hasn’t helped me very much. Please reply
