If you’ve dreamed of being the next big teen star, this might be your chance to get started! Disney Channel and Disney XD are hosting open online auditions for upcoming television series and original movies. But you need to get to work, because the deadline is Aug. 6.
These auditions are open to actors ages 10 to 17. To get started, you’ll need to be 17 or have a parent’s permission to download the Disney Applause app, which is available on iTunes and Google Play.
Once the app is installed, you’ll be able to access the script to practice before you make your video audition and upload it through the app. Videos should only be a maximum of 120 seconds (2 minutes) and the file size cannot exceed 200 MB. The format must be avi, .wmv, .asf, mov, 3gp, .mp4, .mpg or .m4v.
Jacob Bertrand (”Kirby Buckets”) and Paris Berelec (“Mighty Med”) offer some audition tips, including:
** Introduce yourself.
** Be yourself.
** Look into the camera.
** Have energy.
** Prepare and work on the script.
** Dress like yourself.
** Be original.
** Make sure we can see you. (Have good light and a solid color background.)
** Have fun and smile.
Things to avoid:
** Don’t be nervous.
** Don’t wear white. (Colors “pop” more.)
** Don’t sit down. (Standing shows more energy.)
** Don’t look down too much. (Show us your face.)
** Don’t send a video that is too long, too big or the wrong format.
Judy Taylor, senior vice president, Casting and Talent Relations, Disney Channels Worldwide, said in a press release, “While many factors go into casting a role, our goal is to find new talent and make the process accessible to all, whether amateur or professional actors with agents. It also provides parents assurances about privacy and safety online.”
Disclaimer from Disney: An audition is not an offer or a guarantee of employment. This is not a contest. There is never a fee to participate in a Disney Channel/Disney XD talent search. Minors must have a parent or guardian’s permission to audition.
The Disney Applause app also allows users to submit photos and videos for other contests and sweepstakes.
