Question
I really want a roll in a movie in disney channel , that was my dream. Im 14 , and im an asian , but the thing is i dunno what to do to get a roll. Please help, i havent got any acting classes.

Answer
Dear Trameena, You and ten million others want the same thing and maybe one or two might succeed IF their parents have been and continue to make it happen for them. To be in professional acting, one needs to have great talent, lots of experience and training and if a teen, parents that have been and continue to work to make it happen.  Try not to be too disappointed. What you see on the screen is not the acting, it is only a small piece of the acting that has been made into an illusion by editing and sound and lighting, etc. I get hundreds of letters just like yours. It would be great to be on Disney, but most of us never will. God bless, Doc
