Disney Branded Television And Disney Television Animation Launch Nationwide Search For Animation Voice Talent.

Get your demos ready:“Disney Branded Television Discovers Voice Talent Search” — a nationwide search for emerging voice actors, focused on the art of animation — is launching!

Disney Branded Television Discovers Voice Talent Search is designed to provide hands-on experience in voice performance, character development and collaborative storytelling. The auditions will be under some upcoming NDA series for Disney Channel, Disney Jr. and Disney+. (Set to be revealed later this year)

Ten voice actors will be selected to participate in a free, weeklong workshop at Disney Television Animation studios in Glendale, California, where participants will have the opportunity to learn from and work alongside experienced casting and creative executives. At the end of the week, the voice actors will participate in the creation of an original, 11-minute animated short that will debut on Disney platforms.

“Extraordinary performers are already out there — it’s our responsibility to discover them, “By intentionally widening our search, creating direct connections with our casting and creative teams, and investing in meaningful training, we’re ensuring that distinctive new voices will continue to define Disney storytelling for years to come.” - Brenda Kelly Grant (SVP Casting and Talent Relations at Disney Branded Television)

“Our goal is to find the best voices, and shorts are the perfect experimental canvas to help us do that, Over the course of the week, they’ll learn from our seasoned storytellers, get experience in the recording booth, and see their performances evolve as we use improvisation techniques to create characters. We’ll end the week with proof-of-concept character shorts, the best of which will be featured in a fully produced shorts variety special — a tangible example of what happens when new talent is given the space and support to find their voice.” - Gino Guzzardo (Disney Television Animation Multiplatform SVP, "Chibiverse” Co-Creator)

Per Disney, as with all its official casting searches, there is never a fee to audition or participate, and participation does not guarantee employment.
