You can become a Disney voice actor.

The Walt Disney Company announced through its Disney Branded Television Discovers Voice Talent Search that it is looking for emerging voice actors, with a focus on the art of animation.

“Extraordinary performers are already out there — it’s our responsibility to discover them,” said Brenda Kelly Grant, Senior Vice President of Casting and Talent Relations at Disney Branded Television. “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.”

Ten voice actors aged 18 and older will be selected to participate in a workshop and may eventually be featured in an 11-minute Disney animated short that will be released on its platforms. Participants are encouraged to submit through the official application link, and individuals with strong comedic, musical, and improv skills are especially sought after.

The selected group of 10 will take part in a complimentary, weeklong workshop at Disney Television Animation studios in Glendale. During the program, participants will gain hands-on experience while learning directly from and collaborating with seasoned casting professionals and creative executives.

“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, gain experience in the recording booth, and see their performances evolve as we use improvisation techniques to create characters,” said Gino Guzzardo, VP of Multiplatform Content at Disney Branded Television.

“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,” he added.

Some famous Disney voice actors include legends like Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh, Tigger), Robin Williams(Genie), and Jodi Benson (Ariel), along with iconic stars such as James Earl Jones (Mufasa) and Tom Hanks (Woody).
