Shake It Up

DISNEY SUBMISSION
A couple months ago Disney Channel held some open calls to search for some new talent for shows and movies. I kept waiting and hoping that they would come nearby but they never did. They only went to Texas and Tennessee. Most of you who know me know that working for Disney is like my biggest dream. I have always loved everything Disney and wanted to work on Disney Channel. So needless to say I was sad they never come close by so that I could audition. So I decided to get together some reference letters from various entertainment teachers I have had and I also wrote my own letter of appeal. Once I had them all together I submitted them all to some people at Disney to try and get an audition with the company. I just did that not long ago. So please pray for me and for this opportunity specifically.

SHAKE IT UP
On another Disney note...at the end of July, my friend Ashley and I went to a live taping of a brand new Disney Channel TV show called "Shake It Up". The show is about two best friends who are dancers and dance on a modern-day Hairspray type dance show called 'Shake It Up, Chicago'. The show was really funny and I loved it! I can't wait for it to air on Disney Channel...it is set to premiere later this year (most likely around October/November). I had never been to a live taping of a show before and was curious how it all ran. For those who don't know - a lot of comedy TV shows tape in front of live studio audiences as was the case for this show. Most of the Disney Channel shows do this. Since I have always wanted to work for Disney I was curious to see if I'd even like this type of show setting. I loved it! It was so much fun and totally different then the shows I have worked on. The whole atmosphere is wonderful! It's hard to describe but I just love it! It made me realize without a doubt that Disney is the place I really want to work! I'll just have to wait and see if God wants to use me with this company as well.
