Question
hi I'm a very good singer and i love to do it as well do you know anybody that works for Disney channel cause it would really be a dream come true for me i really want this
Hi there Danielle, although this question falls outside my range of expertise I would image that the principle is the same as in modelling.
There are two routes to getting yourself in front of the decision makers at Disney. The first involves a personal contact- I can not help you with that unfortunately- however, you could do a little research to find out which events they attend or where they hang out. This would maximise your opportunity to hand them your demo. Alternatively, you could find temporary or full time work at Disney HQ and gradually build a direct route to the decision makers.
Danielle, the second strategy is to find a niche agent who deals only with this genre of music or a large agency who have a division dedicated to this style of music and who represent names of singers you have heard of.
Hope this has been useful for you and keep believing in yourself.

Experience
I am currently a model and have 13 years experience in both editorial and commercial modelling. During this time I worked for catalogues, TV commercials, advertising, advertorials, catwalk, editorial, front covers and showroom. I have also diversified into other areas of fashion as a stylist and fashion journalist. This has given me a greater depth of understanding into what clients are looking for at a casting.
