EXCITING NEWS! The magic makers at Disney have announced an OPEN CASTING CALL* for young actors to audition for a chance to become a part of the Disney family! You do not need an agent or manager, nor do you need formal acting experience. It is completely free for you to submit on your own, but if you want guidance and coaching, Catapult is here to help you prepare and submit the most magical audition to Disney.

Erik Lingvall, Catapult Founder and Catapult’s coaches have an incredible track record helping talent book on a variety of Disney shows including Raven’s Home, Bunk’d, High School Musical-The Series, and more…. and one of our coaches has recurred on Secrets of Sulpher Springs (Jillian Batherson)! We have plenty of success stories, and are thrilled to bring our expertise to your family and young actor.

This casting call* is open to the public, available to any young person (9-17) who is interested! You do NOT need an agent or any representation to audition for this open call. This is exactly how Selena Gomez was discovered, and many other stars throughout the years!

Even if you have an agent or a manager, you are still welcome to submit to this Open Call on your own if you did not get the specific audition from your rep.

COULD YOUR KID BE THE NEXT DISNEY STAR?! At the very least, your actor will get a real-life experience on how to audition for TV and Film!

Interested actors need to submit tapes to Disney via Actors Access*, including a scene, slate, and optionally a short clip of a song / dance and/or rap! Catapult is here to help!!

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT TO DISNEY IS FEBRUARY 28!

Disney COACHING Package DETAILS!

This package includes:

  • One online 30-minute “Disney Prep” appointment – In this Zoom session, a pro coach will personally walk you and your actor through everything needed to feel confident and prepared before filming. We’ll review audition instructions, help choose the strongest scene for your actor, and introduce you to Actors Access, including how to set up a profile. Designed to give families clarity, confidence, and a smooth prep experience.
 
  • One in-person 90-minute “Disney Coach + Tape Appointment” –  In this next step, your coach will work hands-on with your actor to coach and professionally tape the audition scene being submitted to Disney in one of our world-class professional taping rooms. We’ll also tape the slate and an optional song, dance, or rap, then walk you through the final upload assuming you arrive fully prepared. Actors must arrive off-book and “camera-ready.” Parents should arrive to this appointment with a fully completed Actors Access profile (including headshots**) to maximize time with coach.
 
  • You also will receive several other things including: a 10% discount code for actor headshots at Catapult that can be used anytime through end of September 2026, Zoom Clip created by our staff that will be a visual video walk through step-by-step setting up a new Actors Access account and the Disney Open Call submission process so you can replay this anytime, Catapult’s Industry Terminology Dictionary to download, AND a 15% off Code for a private one-hour Industry Consultation that you can use anytime before end of September 2026.
 
DO NOT DELAY: Secure Your Package and Get Your Sessions Booked before Appointments are Full – THIS WILL SELL OUT! 
 

Disney Packages are available until our space fills. You can choose to work with Catapult’s owner/founder, Erik Lingvall, or with one of our experienced, professional coaches: Danny, Jillian, Keely, Liza, Jessica or Madeline. LIMITED SUPPLY of APPOINTMENTS!

Siblings need their own package due to the “actor specific” nature of how these appointments will be conducted. Unfortunately we cannot offer any discounts for siblings or any other requests.

If you are outside of the age range Disney provided, it is up to you if you want to go ahead and submit an audition. Generally the age range is a guideline from casting and actors outside of the ranges submit often.

Please Book Package Using ACTOR’S NAME!!

*IMPORTANT NOTE:
As with all Disney casting searches, there is never a fee to interview or audition, and there is no guarantee of employment. Actors may audition and submit to Disney without the support of Catapult Acting Studios. Details in Yellow Button below.

Disney Branded Television is not affiliated with any acting schools or workshops, and there is never a fee to participate in an official Disney Branded Television talent search. The package offered by Catapult Acting Studios is strictly a coaching, taping, and consultation service designed to guide actors through the audition process.

While rare, Disney may change details of the submission process, including deadlines. Catapult Acting Studios is not responsible for any changes made by Disney. We strongly recommend taping and submitting auditions as early as possible.

**You do not need professionally shot headshots to submit to Disney.
