Problem: Article: The best way to learn the techniques you need in order to be the quality actor that Disney looks for is to take classes. Go for any opportunities you have to take classes and join clubs that focus on acting. Taking acting, improvisation, and musical theater classes will help you learn necessary skills and practice executing them. To start out, sign up for drama club at school. While being a Disney Channel star is first and foremost about acting, you must also be able to sing well. For example, Raven Simone sang the theme song for “That’s So Raven,” the Disney Channel show that she starred in. Search online for singing lessons in your area and make sure to go with an instructor that has good reviews. Consider being in the chorus at school so that you can learn a little about singing without having to pay for private lessons. While it doesn’t carry quite as much weight as being able to act and sing, a basic level of dancing ability is necessary in order to be a Disney Channel star. Check out different dance studios in your area and go with the one that offers instruction on the widest variety of dance types. The more versatile you are as a creative performer, the better.  Try dabbling in ballet, jazz, modern, and hip-hop. Take dance classes at your school if they’re available. Look online for any talent competitions that are going on in your area. Sign up and audition for any contests that you can. This may help you get used to the pressure of auditioning and help you learn how to perform with confidence. Additionally, if you make it far or even win a competition, you may become well-known in your community and/or become noticed by someone important. Get as comfortable as you can on the stage by taking every opportunity you have to act. Audition for community, church, and school plays so that you can practice your skills and become a solid performer. Disney’s audition process is fast-paced, and casting directors are quick to weed out amateurs. If you want to be taken seriously, you’ll need to put a portfolio together that contains both a professional resume and professional headshots. Your resume should display all of your experience in an organized, attractive way and your headshots should be done by a professional photographer.  If you can’t afford a professional photographer, consider asking a family member or friend who has a nice camera to take photos of you. Your resume should only be one page long and should list your most recent experience and accomplishments. Don't worry if you have limited experience—Disney is looking for the best, not the busiest. Attach your resume to the back of your headshot, or print it right onto the back of your picture. You will leave this behind after your audition. Remember, it's your calling card—it's how they will remember you, so make it the best representation of "you" that you can.
Summary: Sign up for acting classes. Take singing lessons. Take dance classes. Participate in talent contests. Take advantage of all performance opportunities. Put a portfolio together.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Green onions often come in plastic bags or are held together in bundles with rubber bands. Take all of the packaging off of the onions so that they are loose. Removing the packaging will allow the green onions to be removed from the bundle more easily and will minimize the chance of the onions being damaged by the rubber bands. In order to keep the green onions firm, they need to be kept in humid conditions. Wrapping them in a slightly damp paper towel will provide the humidity they need without adding so much moisture that they begin to rot. To make sure that the paper towel is not too wet, you can wrap the onions in a dry paper towel and then sprinkle a bit of water over the top of the towel. To keep the moisture around the green onions, the bundle should be placed in a plastic bag. This will ensure that the humidity created by the damp paper towel is not removed by the refrigerator. The plastic bag can be placed loosely around the bundle of onions. It does not need to be completely airtight. The vegetable bin is a good place to keep your green onions. However, because the green onions are in a plastic bag, they can be kept anywhere in your refrigerator. When you use some of your green onions, be sure to re-moisten the paper towel if it has dried out. Then place the bundle back in its plastic bag and put it all back in the fridge.

SUMMARY: Remove any packaging from the green onions. Wrap the onions in a damp paper towel. Place the towel-wrapped onions in a plastic bag. Put the bag in your refrigerator.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: repare your subfloor. You will need your subfloor to be ready for laying down hardwood floors. This tutorial focuses on installing solid hardwoods, so you will want a wood subfloor if you want to follow the directions exactly. Other options are available, however. Don’t forget to consider things like door jambs as well. You will need to be able to either get your floors underneath the molding or you will need to cut your floor to go around it. Before you install solid hardwood floors, you will need to let the wood acclimate to the moisture level of your home first. Leave the wood to sit in the room in which it will be installed for at least three days. Try to install the floor during either the Spring or Fall, when the temperature is neither very hot nor very cold. Temperature will also affect the wood. A larger number of tools and supplies will be necessary to complete this project. You can rent larger pieces, like flooring nailers, from your local hardware store. Other pieces, like nails, will need to be purchased. You can find the materials list for this project at the bottom of this page.
Summary:
. Let your wood acclimate. Gather tools.
