hi! my name is jasmine and i want to become a actor for Disney channel.And my biggest question is how can I?Can you tell me were the interviews are?And when will it be?

Answer
I think you are trying to go too fast.
The Disney Channel has a lot of great programs on it, but they are actually made by a lot of different companies. Over the years, these companies have a script, choose a director, hire a casting director, who contacts talent agents about the parts that need casting. The agents suggest actors, some are chosen to audition. They read part of their character's lines and eventually, after a lot of extra auditions, they may be given the job.
There is a lot of competition for shows as good as these, so only the best and best-trained actors really have much chance.
For now, if you love to act, join a club, at school or in the neighborhood, and start playing around with acting. If you still like it when you graduate, you could go to a theatre school, where you'll learn a lot of things that actors need. Then lots of auditions, lots more classes in all sorts of skills, and eventually, who knows, you may make it onto the Disney Channel.

Lots of luck and fun as you start your journey.
