Question
my daughter would love a career in acting. It is her passion. She is at a young age of 13 right now. Is there any way of how to get her started and maybe are there any auditions or any things. especially around florida becasue that is where we live. One main thing she would love to do is acting with disney channel. Thank you so much.

Answer
Hi Jenny, There just is not much work for young teens.  Go to exploretalent.com for free listing of auditions in your area. Do a web search for Talent Agents in FL and try to get an agent. I am sorry,but all Disney Channel casting is in LA.  Check out http://actinginfo.blogspot.com about that. Best wishes, Doc
