Question
hi, my name is Amber, and i been searching everywhere to try to get into disney channel. i have no clue where to look and how i can "sign up" or anything. i really need help i love to act. so if you please can answer as soon as possible that would be great

Answer
Hi Amber, your problem is that there is really no chance of you getting on Disney.  There are no legitimate web sites where you can sign up, but there are a lot who will take your money so stay away from them.  The only chance you have is if your parents work very hard to help get you into the buisness.  YOu cannot work without their consent until you are 18, and they would be much better at seeking out opportunities for you to learn to act and get into plays to get some experience.
