Question
Hi name is Marquasia Wright and I'm 12 my friends and I want to sing for Disney channel were a group we call ourselves Girls For Life ,but we live in Kentucky how do we get a audition if we cant get there and how do we get a agent that does not cost so much?
Marquasia,
Thanks for writing. First of all, agents don't cost you anything. Agents get paid when you get paid. For example, if you get paid $100, your agent takes 10% of your pay, so he'd take $10 and you'd get $90.
I don't work for The Disney Channel, so I honestly can't tell you how you'd get an audition for them. But my guess is that you'd probably have to travel to Los Angeles where The Disney Channel is located. You might want to try calling the Casting Department at The Disney Channel and ask them how you can obtain an audition.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Phil
