Question
Were should i be looking for a acting audition for Disney Channle and do i need a acting agent.

Answer
The Disney Channel itself does not typically hold auditions, but the individual shows and programs that are shown on the Disney channel do quite often.  However, the auditions for specific roles may not be open to the general public all the time - so you may want to consider agency representation.  When roles are available, they are posted to agents and managers in the location where the show is filmed.  If they decide to consider seeing non-union actors, or it's an open call to everyone, they will occasionally post to online actors casting services such as ActorsAccess.com, LACasting.com and NowCasting.com.  Those tend to be great resources for unrepresented and/or non-union actors to find television, film and commercial work.
Good luck to you,

I can answer questions from those looking to get into the fashion or commercial modeling industry. Specifically, the requirements, what is needed, how to find an agent, what they look for, how to avoid scams, the difference between what a commercial model does, and a fashion model, would travel/relocation be required, what is on a comp card and in your portfolio.

Experience

Both my acting and modeling resume/portfolio is available online on my website. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and also have available my actor's demo reel and voice-over demo online. I founded both the Florida-Models.com and Florida-Actors.com websites, which provide free modeling and acting info to the public. I have moved into directing, producing and screenwriting - and have won awards for my writing. I have worked in the industry as both a model and actress in Florida, New York City and Los Angeles until October 2007. I now reside in Europe.
