Disney Channel talent search details for 'Toy Talk' on-air child toy reviewers in Australia

Disney Channel casting for child actors

Disney Channel Australia is looking for two kids to be official Toy Reviewers.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Disney Channel and Moose Toys are teaming up to find two kids to be official Toy Reviewers. Casting producers are conducting a national talent search in Australia looking for two kids between 8 and 16 years of age to star in their toy reviews on-air! The kids selected will receive a 14 month paid contract which includes payments of $200 per production shoot. Kids and a parent/legal guardian who live a certain distance outside of the Sydney central business district will receive ground transfers and accommodation for each production shoot and rehearsal. Those who live outside the state of New South Wales will be flown in from their nearest capital city to the production shoots.

'Toy Talk' will consist of up to up to six separate shoots between October 2013 - December 2014. The first episode will be filmed early October in Melbourne for several days. There will be no sitting by the phone for days on end waiting to find out if you are selected. Disney will be contacting the applicants who have been selected to become a Disney Channel Toy Reporter by phone or email on 26 September 2013.

The audition process consists of kids uploading a homemade video to the official Disney Channel website for the talent search. The video needs to be about 30 seconds long and show the applicant reviewing any Moose Toy product, preferably one of the Trash Wheels, or Zelfs toys. Trash Wheels are a spin-off series of The Trash Pack toys, and they are made of rubber. Zelfs are a line of girls' toys, special little creatures that live in a garden called Zardenia. Other Moose brands that can be reviewed in the audition video include Angry Birds, Glitzi Globes, and Blingles among others.
