12 year old girl gets on a new Disney TV show

Olivia Holt

Being discovered by disney at 12 years old, involved so much more than watching the disney channel and dreaming of one day being on TV.


While dreaming of someday being on disney, you must also devote yourself to learning how to act, sing and perhaps dance. Be prepared for going on many auditions and still maintaining good grades at school.


So many kids try to become famous, and throw away their education and chase their dream, but only a few make it. If you are not one of the few kids that becomes famous, chasing your dream could ruin your life.

That is why you need to stay in school, keep your close friends, and maintain your life with parents who love you, while chasing your dream, but only it does not interfere.


Its not just you, who must sacrifice your home, family, and friends, education but your parents who if they decide to help, must also sacrifice their life, work, family to take you to acting classes, drive you to auditions, and to meet with agents, managers, lawyers and people who we hope can guide you to the roles and jobs in acting that you have always dreamed about.


Olivia Holt, is one of the lucky girls who got chosen to be on a new disney TV show called Wasabi Warriors, set to air June 2011. She will act opposite Jason Earles who was on the hit disney series Hanna Montana.


Olivia Holt, like you, started off with a dream to be on disney. She watched her favorite TV shows Hanna Montana, Jonas, Camp Rock, High School Musical and other shows on disney, and dreamed of one day, I will be on a disney TV show.


Olivia Holt not only stayed in school, but decided not to move away from Mississippi, where she currently lives. Instead, her parents enrolled her in acting classes, hired a vocal coach (Bob Westbrook), and Olivia continued to do what other girls do at 12 years old.


She was a gymnast, cheerleader, and joined local theater groups in Tennessee, where she had roles in local productions of Annie and Through the looking glass. It did not take long for people to notice Olivia Holt.

Shortly after, she was signed by Abrams Artist Agency and Ford Models, who helped Olivia get auditions for  movies and commercials. She was offered movie roles for independent films as well as national commercials for Hasbro, Kidz Bop, Mattel, Jaxx Toys and Bratz. (This was all while living far away from Hollywood or New York, where most kids think they have to move to become famous) Oliviva does most of her auditions on Skype with her agent in Los Angeles.


Olivia Holt was born in Germantown, Tennessee and raised in Mississippi. Olivia Holt was signed by Abrams Artist Agency and Ford Models.

I want to be a star on the disney channel

Every kid under 18, and some over 18 at some point in their lives dreams of wanting to be a star on the disney channel. While it is not impossible, and some do make it, I get asked over and over if I can help them attain their dreams. Here is a conversation with a teen named chase, who might have what it takes to make it. I am offering advice that many of you may use to also attain your dreams of being a disney star.

Hi Chase,

I remember going to a movie premiere for something like cinderalla
stories but with the vega girl, and seeing all these kids who I thought to myself, will never be in another movie, and I was so happy that the premiere was such a wonderful experience. The after party was like a giant amusement park. I think the point is that every kids movie and every kid has an expiration date when they are no longer kids.

I had several clients that got a special agent for voice over work and got booked regularly for disney, nick, abc, fox, cartoon network, etc...

Work on your voice as well and don't only say you look like a mix of zac and ashton.

Imdbpro.com offers a trial membership. You type in a name like demi lovato and it gives her agent, manager, publicist, lawyer and everything she has ever been on or done. I also offer contact info at no charge on my blog find an agent become famous

I could not tell from your conversation with demi lovato if it was really her, as there are many imposters on the internet. The information you requested is readily available, and you kept asking her and she kept avoiding answering.

Is your tape / reel you gave to disney on youtube?

You need to get it on youtube asap. Send me the link to the youtube video once its up.

The photoshoot of you with the military style jacket was best. Also you need to photoshop the photo of you with your shirt off because you have a farmers tan, which means only your arms are tan. And it makes you look unprofessional or a redneck dork, unless that is what you are going for? (Ashton?)

Ashton was also a model, so do another photo shoot in a fitted suit, or
something fancy and not with a "t-shirt", perhaps try modeling, since you keep saying you look like ashton. Learn how to walk a runway like a model, and audition before fashion week in LA or NY.

I could get you a couple auditions.

One of my clients did a movie in your city with steven segal. Occasionally they make movies in your city. Do you know any casting agencies in your town?

You say you just turned 18. Are you considering college? Were you offered any type of scholarship academically or for sports?

Are you moving to LA? Or NY?

To follow your dream and passions will be a major sacrifice, to move away from friends and family, and it will be difficult not working and only go on one audition after another. Rejection is tough, but happens to everyone.
I don't' say to give up, but mention reality.

One suggestion would be to get an agent that reps a big teen star and have them place you in the movie in any part, even non speaking as part of the other teens contract. That is why you go after the big agents, because they have power like that.

Small agents have their quality as well. They don't put others before you. They fight for you, because they need to.

More thoughts later,

Chase,

The reason you need an agent is to get sent to auditions.

It is possible through a couple websites to find your own auditions (breakdowns) and try to arrange to attend the audition, although usually you need an agent to attend.

Actorsaccess.com
Nowcasting.com
Lacasting.com
Nycasting.com
Castingabout.com


(Note: these will only help if you live in LA or NY)

Also get,
Backstage

The websites are not that expensive and sometimes are needed as a backup for when your agent does not know about an audition that you think you would be perfect for.

The agreement is that you give your agent a percentage of every job you get, even if your agent did not get you the audition.

I am not an agent, I am not a manager.

I am a publicist with connections.

Rob Tencer

You said you have an agent in your town... but Does your agent subscribe to the breakdowns?

-----------------
I'm moving to L.A. in January. I will live in my car if I have to. I'm too dedicated to just wait.

Good Luck!

Teen Comedy is casting some lucky teens for a walk-on role

Teen comedy flick "Endless Bummer" is casting walk-ons

Kevin Lyman, the founder of "The Rockstar Taste of Chaos" tour, serves as executive producer/co-writer. The film "Endless Bummer begins filming this week in Southern California and is slated for a June 2008 release.

Matthew Lillard ("Scream") is among the first actors confirmed to appear. Based on the real-life experiences of screenwriter John "J.D." Drury, the early 1980s-era story follows a group of Ventura, Calif., beach buddies who are in search of a stolen surfboard. "Endless Bummer" is being made on an approximately $2.5 million budget, Lyman tells Mitchell Peters of Billboard.com.

Mr. Lyman is using the internet and his tour website http://www.warpedtour.com and http://www.myspace.com to promote the movie and for his contest for a fan walk-on role.


"Endless Bummer"soundtrack features current songs from such acts as Bad Religion, the Action Design, the Vandals, the Dollyrots and the Robbery U.S.A. (members of Rancid, Street Drum Corps, S.T.U.N. and Bathroom Murders).

"As it has developed, we started thinking about getting bands from this era to cover punk songs from that time," says Lyman, who is assisting in recruiting artists for the project. "We're looking at the soundtrack as more of a marketing tool than actually a soundtrack.

He adds that musician Joan Jett (a featured act on the 2006 Warped Tour) and Circle Jerks singer Keith Morris will have small acting roles in "Endless Bummer."
