I would love to do the speaking role for Moana. Im 14, I’m very strong willed and I can relate to her. I would be perfect for the part, and I really want to get a head start, I’m going to be an actress. I hope to be in more movies and please pick me. I’m perfect for the role, thanks, just email me please!
Hi, my name is Olivia. I am 13 years old, I will be 14 in July. I have always wanted an opportunity like this. It is my dream to become a famous actress, and I think that this would be an amazing place to begin.
I live in Eugene, OR, we have a live theatre program here called RCT, or Rose Children’s Theatre, I have been doing this for about seven years. I am also very patient, I listen really well, and I work hard too. I think that my voice would work well for the part of Moana, or any other part you would like me to do.
Thank you for taking your time to read this, and if you want to know more about me please contact me. I hope you consider me. -Olivia Montgomery
I want to do Moana because I’m 15 and live in Pakistan, Karachi. I was always interested in being an actress and I always had a dream to become an actress some day. I believe I can do this. Thank you.
Hello my name is Kyara. I would be very honored to do the part of moana. I have no experience of acting but I am told that I am a pretty good actor especially when it comes to talking in front of the class. I am 12 years old and I think that I might have a good voice for Disney’s moana if I don’t get the part I understand. I live in IL lindenhurst but my sister loves when I act silly. Honestly if you would just give me the personality traits of moana I would love to have the part but that depends on if I get the part. I am considered a “social bug” at school because I try my best to be friends with everyone. I will always be myself I don’t try to be someone I’m not unless it is for a part but other than that I am all Kyara. In the future I could see myself having an acting career because I just love acting period. Even if it is a sad role or a exciting role. I have the personality for the voice of moana. I am a very understandable personal, now sometimes here and there I will be silly but I am also very serious when it comes to getting things like this done. I just hope that one day my dreams of acting will come true.
Kind regards
Kyara Reynoso

Hello
It’s been confirmed that CNA’s Casting call for Moana is officially closed. Does that mean that all casting calls from everywhere around the globe are also closed. Or just CNA’s casting call. Is there a deadline if they’re still accepting auditions somewhere else?

I’m extremely interested in this audition. I would love to be apart of this movie because I know disney movies help children truly understand different difficulties they may or may not have to come face to face with and I love this about them. It would mean so much to me if I was chosen and know I would work unbearably hard for this movie for disney even though I’m new to this, but just because I’m new doesn’t mean I won’t be able to shock you out of your mind. Thank you for your time.
