2013 Disney Channel National Talent Search

This is Disney Channel's first open talent search of 2013.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Update 8-29-2013: New talent search open casting call details are now posted below for Wilmington, NC.

Disney Channel has been conducting a national talent search seeking talented, young actors, actresses, singers and dancers between the ages of 10 and 17 to be considered for roles in upcoming Disney Channel and Disney XD Original Movies and Televisions Series for 2013 and beyond. If you have a strong desire to act, sing, or dance, then Disney casting directors would love to hear from you or see you at an upcoming open casting call. Two new open casting calls have been scheduled for September 21 & 22, 2013 in Wilmington, NC. Details below...

This official talent search is among Disney Channel's and Disney XD's few annual casting searches in the United States. You DO NOT need to live in Los Angeles for this talent search, as it is open to kids and teens across America. Disney Channel and Disney XD casts the vast majority of actors in Los Angeles due to the large number of talent agents, casting directors, and actors available in the area. However, they do hold open casting calls and talent searches in other cities, and even other countries occasionally.

Last year Disney's Senior Vice President, Casting and Talent Relations stated, "We are pleased to play a part in cultivating young talent and helping them achieve their dreams ...our representatives are searching for a range of youthful talent with comedic acting ability and/or singing and dancing experience to showcase their skills for consideration in our upcoming series and movies".

Some of the Disney Channel shows are So Random, Jessie, Ant Farm, Kickin' It, Pair of Kings, Good Luck Charlie, Shake It Up, Dog With a Blog, not to mention awesome Disney Channel Original Movies!
