Question
Hello I am Kaylynn and I want to act for Disney Channel but I am 12... but I think I might be good for it! I have a good   personality,talent, and singing of course. I am very good! I always get along with people, but I want to tell you things to describe me. I am very smart,pretty, and neat. But I really want to be in Disney Channel. Please contact me after this! Please say yes! But I have to tell you one more thing...I am kind of fat.

Answer
Hello Kaylynn, no matter how talented you are, your parents have to make a profesional career happen for you. It is they who must find you an audition.  However, if you live elsewhere from where the auditions are held, and your family cannot afford to fly you and your mom to auditions and call backs and be away from home for long periods of time for filming, you are going to have to give up your desire for Disney. In the meanwhile, read all the posts on my blog at http://theatredoconacting.blogspot.com  Best wishes and God bless, Doc
