Disney Channel Auditions and Casting Calls

Auditioning for parts, in film, television, theatre, commercials and modelling jobs can be a nerve-wracking experience. Many people cope with the pressure by simply not showing up for the audition, by not having a proper resume and recent picture that looks like them. Some are ill prepared so that they have an excuse if they don't get picked.

Perhaps a wannabe actor might give a bad audition, because they are sure, deep down, that they are not going to get the part. Maybe they are right, maybe they are not quite right for that part, but if they are right for another part, with another director, they are blowing that opportunity as well.

The entertainment industry is in essence a small one, where many people have worked with each other before. If you audition for something and are not right for it but give a good audition and look as if you have good work habits and are ambitious and motivated, the casting director will remember you for another part. They might recommend you to someone else. The casting people might remember you when they themselves are doing another project and your name will come up.

There are many people I see, who give a good audition, but they aren't quite right for that part, but when another director asks me about people for their projects, I will usually recommend the actors that have given good auditions, auditions that show that they care about their careers.

If someone bails on me, or gives an ill-prepared audition there is no such recommendation forthcoming. An audition gives the director an idea about your work habits, your talent, and your ambition.

Directors are building a team not a self-help group. If you look like someone who gets the job done and does not need a lot of baby-sitting, if you put your best foot forward talent-wise then you need not worry about rejection because good news like bad news is viral. Everyone will start to know about you, for good or bad.
