Getting a Disney audition is no simple feat! So you've finally got it, now what? What do you expect to go through? Well here is an overall guide about what to expect when you have finally landed that opportunity of a lifetime.
First things first, you will have been given a call time. You should make sure that you arrive at the venue an hour before your call time. This will ensure that you have enough time to go through the whole registration process and still have a few moments where you can get into character and possibly do a final read through of your lines.
The first person you will encounter will be a Disney channel cast member. Do not be nervous. The cast member is there to make your audition registration process easier. The cast member will take a couple of headshots of you. Do not kid around as they probably have to take headshots of hundreds of other people. In fact, it would be more convenient if you had already practiced your poses ant home so that it takes just a couple of minutes to be done. This will give a good impression on the cast member and you never know, they may even put in a good word for you. After taking the headshots, the cast member will then give you an audition application to fill out. If you have any questions concerning the audition application form, do not be shy to voice them. You would rather ask as many questions as possible and fill out the form correctly than put in wrong information that could cost you the chance to be hired to work for the Disney channel. After you fill this form, the cast member will take it as well as your headshots and your resume and you will be led to the waiting area.
The waiting area is where all the people auditioning are expected to wait their turn. Hen in there, be pleasant to everyone as animosity is not tolerated. You may all be vying for the same spot but Disney prefer having an amicable work environment. You then should patiently wait for your turn to be called into the audition room. You could keep yourself occupied by getting into character and ensuring that you know all your lines flawlessly.
When it is finally your turn to audition, you will be called into the audition room. This should not intimidate you. Keep in mind the casting crew members are regular people just doing their job just as you are there to do your job so that hopefully you are hired. You should greet everyone at the casting panel and introduce yourself. When you are asked to start your audition, you should not waste any time. Keep in mind that they have many other people so their time is valuable. When you are done with your audition, listen carefully to the casting directors comments and if he has further instructions, you should adhere to them. When all is said and done, thank casting crew for their time and leave.
