Disney Channel has been holding annual casting calls for a few years now and many hopeful child stars are probably wondering what to expect at a Disney casting. Below are two audition scripts from a prior Disney casting call as well as the most recent one for 2015 / 2016 event. The scripts show the characters and explain the situation as well as have the lines to be read. In the scripts, the dialogue is in lower case while instructions for body movement are in all caps.
These are the actual scripts that were used to audition for possible roles on a Disney Channel show.
Update: We just got the newest Disney audition script, you may check it out below. The script is for the 2015 / 2016 disney channel and disney XD open casting call.
a Few tips:
- There are 2 scenes from As The Bell Rings to choose from, select 1 only and act it out on camera.
- Read the synopsis before you start rehearsing. A synopsis tells you what the episode is all about. This will help you get in character.
- Each script contains 2 characters, (no you don’t have to play both parts!). Get a friend or a family member to act it out with you, this forms the second part of your audition video.
- You can play any character you like, doesn’t matter if you choose to play a guy or a girl, what’s important is you just choose the part that you think most suits your acting ability.
Dance Fever: Synopsis
Tina is obsessed with dancing and starts dancing all the time. She says she can’t help it, it’s a
condition that runs in her family known as ‘Dance Fever’. The problem is, it’s contagious. Everyone
who goes near her starts dancing, and everyone has their own style of dancing that reflects their
personality. Could Sam be the only cure to the disease known as Dance Fever?
prologue: (parker, Tina)
THE CORRIDOR IS EMPTY. THE BELL RINGS AND STUDENTS FLOOD OUT OF THE
CLASSROOMS.
parker
Hey Tina, how are you going?
Tina
I think I’m getting sick.
PARKER PULLS OUT A TONGUE DEPRESSOR AND A SMALL TORCH. TINA OPENS HER MOUTH
AND ALLOWS PARKER TO HAVE A LOOK.
parker
Hmmm. What seems to be the problem?
Tina
I feel like (SHE STARTS CLICKING RHYTHMICALLY), like I want to start dancing.
parker
You love dancing, that’s perfectly normal.
Tina
This is different, I can’t stop. (SHE STARTS MOVING HER BODY) Oh no, I’m coming down with
Dance Fever! (SHE STARTS DANCING MUCH MORE VIGOROUSLY)
parker
Dance Fever?
Tina
It’s a condition that runs in my family. Well, it dances in my family anyway.
parker
What are the symptoms?
Tina
Dancing, mainly.
parker
Is it contagious?
Tina
I don’t think so.
TINA STARTS DANCING HARDER THAN EVER.
parKer
Why don’t you just stop?
Tina
I just can’t, I just can’t, I just can’t control my feet!
TINA DANCES AWAY LEAVING A BEMUSED PARKER. PARKER PULLS OUT A DICTAPHONE
AND HITS RECORD.
parker
Parker’s Log, recess, Wednesday. Have identified a new form of disease, known as Dance Fever.
Symptoms include…dancing, mainly. (PARKER LOOKS DOWN AT HIMSELF) I am not dancing
therefore I conclude this disease is not contagious.
PARKER HITS STOP ON HIS DICTAPHONE BEFORE MOONWALKING OUT OF FRAME.
Student of the week: Synopsis
Zoe is pressured to choose Sam as the subject of her regular “Student of the Week” column. Sam
attempts to control what she writes and presents a distorted view of himself. Ultimately Zoe’s story
plays more like an exposé on Sam’s dobber-like behaviour, and puts him back in his place.
Scene 3 (SaM, Zoe )
SAM SITS BEHIND A LARGE DESK. ZOE SITS ACROSS, WITH HER NOTEBOOK AND PEN.
SAM LEANS BACK AND PUTS HIS FEET UP ON THE DESK.
Sam
Read back what you’ve got so far.
Zoe
Just the title. Student of the Week – Sam Tippin.
Sam
Change it to Student of the Year, it sounds better.
Zoe
But you’re not Student of the Year —
Sam
— Just change it. Okay get this down. ‘Sam leans back and surveys his corridor, and it truly is his
corridor. Isn’t it Sam who upholds the rules, making Patterson High one of the safest schools in the
district?
Zoe
Maybe I should just ask you some questions and you can answer them.
Sam
Sure, go for it. But don’t take too long, I’ve got a one-on-one with the principal after lunch. I think
he’s gone a bit soft on yo-yos. I’m going to remind him just how dangerous they can be with a
little… (HE PULLS OUT A YOYO AND PULLS THE STRING TAUT FROM THE WHEEL) demonstration.
Zoe
Okay Sam, in only a few words, describe yourself.
‘Would it be fair to say that Sam Tippin is the greatest student who ever lived?’ Yes, it would. (TWO
YEAR 7 STUDENTS WALK THROUGH THE CORRIDOR. ONE HAS A FOOTBALL AND THE OTHER ONE
A TENNIS BALL. SAM GETS UP AND BLOWS A WHISTLE. THE TWO BOYS FREEZE) You two, no ball
games in the corridor!
ZOE TAKES NOTES OF THIS ENCOUNTER. SHE ALSO SNAPS A QUICK PHOTO AS SAM IS YELLING
AT THE BOYS.
Sam
No more excuses! Explain it to the principal on detention. (BACK TO ZOE) Now where were we, oh
yes, the greatest student who ever lived. Are you getting all this down?
Zoe
(STILL WRITING NOTES) Oh I’m getting all of this down, Sam, don’t you worry about that
The newest Disney audition script is below:
Actors read the role of ‘Alex’ Have someone not on camera read ‘DAD’ line
ALEX Sis, I have a little advice for you. If you ever try to fool Mom, be careful, she’s pretty smart. If you want to fool a parent, Dad is definitely the way to go. Just ask him to tell you some stories about football, and pretend you’re interested.
DAD (V.O.) Heard that. You’re grounded.
ALEX TURNS TO SEE THE BABY MONITOR.
ALEX Baby monitor! Stupid technology. (THEN, INTO CAMERA) I can’t imagine what kind of gadgets they’ll have when you’re a teenager!

Hi my name is Troystaten. I’m 12 years old. I love to sing, act, dance. This has been my dream since I was 8. When I see somebody saying hi my name is Miley Cyrus from Hannah Montana And you are watching Disney channel, I want to do that. I have a good phase too when I’m doing it lol. Have a good disney channel day, please help me get my dreams to come true.
I have taken acting classes for 2 years and I am 11. Disney Channel is almost the only channel I watch and I believe that I am at least a good actor but I have never gone to an audition. My friends like acting as well but think they are terrible. When we act and sing together, all they do is compliment me… That makes me proud. I have heard about Disney auditions on the radio and in commercials before on YouTube videos but I am too scared to ask to go to any of the auditions… Any advice?
Disney does not advertise auditions on the radio. The REAL Disney auditions are held once a year and are free. The ones on the radio are actually fake, they are selling services, so be careful.
When are they held?
I love to act, there’s not a day that goes pass without me watching Disney. I know every TV show and if I watch the episode at least 3 times, I can remember the lines.
Hi, my name is Mina. I am 12 years old and yet I have lots of acting experiences. I went to acting school for two years and I even got a little diploma. I also cant imagine myself as anything else but being a singer and actress. I am waiting. XOXO 🙂
