Overview
- The initiative, which opened March 31, is accepting submissions through April 14 from U.S. residents who are 18 or older and eligible to work.
- Ten selected participants will attend a free, weeklong workshop at Disney Television Animation in Glendale to learn from casting and creative executives.
- Participants will record, practice improv, and build characters in studio sessions designed to mirror professional voice-over work.
- The week concludes with an original 11-minute animated short slated to debut on Disney platforms, plus proof-of-concept character shorts.
- Disney says there is no fee to audition and no job guarantee, and leaders frame the search as widening the talent pool and investing in meaningful training.
