Auditions in the CP

[peace.love.disney]

I've been thinking for a while now about auditioning to be a character through the CP (lurking around these boards, watching youtube videos, etc.), but I am totally clueless about what this process entails.

Ideally, I would like (and by that I mean LOVE) to play a princess in one of the parks, but is that audition process the same as the general character auditions I've been reading about, where you go in, get a number, perform a dance and act out some scenes? Or is there a different audition for people specifically interested in playing princesses because it's more focused on your facial features and less on being able to act while wearing a fur costume?

I know these questions have probably been asked a thousand times, but I'm feeling pretty lost right now and would so appreciate some help. Thank you!

It's part of the regular audition since you'll be doing both face and fur if picked. You won't notice it, but they'll be paying close attention to your facial features during the audition and they'll note if they're interested in you for face. I don't think they bring wigs and costumes to CP auditions outside of Orlando anymore but if they did you would be pulled aside and fitted for a costume and they'd take pictures and video of you.
They take a picture of you when you check in that they can use for reference.

Also, just a quick tip-From what I understand, ALL face characters also have to do fur, and princess height range is from 5'4" to 5'7".

But you probably know that from reading the audition thread

From my friends who auditioned, its a very awkward process. Initially they have a room full of people auditioning and then they just stare at you. They are looking for facial features and height.
