Question
Hi!,my name is Rachel...I really want to become a tween Disney star....how does that work?

Answer
Hi Rachel, Well the way it works is that your parents have to work very hard to make it happen. They have to find you opportunities to perform, singing, dancing, and acting lessons, an agent, and oh yes, they have to make sure you live close enough to LA to attend auditions. That is the only way it happens. God bless, Doc
