Character Heights/CP Auditions

[Berlioz70]

Thanks for the info guys. I'm not tall enough to be Mary, but that's alright

Based on your height - have you compared your features to Tink? There is a higher demand for her!

Why is that, exactly? I know there's spares for her...does she have all day in Pixie? Is it hard to cast for her, or what? She ends at 5'2" also, right?

I have. I look pretty similar. The only thing I can't really tell about is the face shape. I've looked at different pics of her and sometimes her face is round and others its more pointy. What do you think about the face shape? I could have a shot at being "friends" with her. The only reason I haven't asked about her is I already know the height range for her.

There is a higher demand for her because she is scheduled for Pixie Hollow pretty much everyday, all day. Plus, she is more popular than the other fairies. I would geuss that she would be harder to cast because there aren't a lot of girls that are around 5'0 and a lot of the girls that are 5'0 might not resemble her. From what I've read on here, yes she does end at 5'2, possibly 5'1.

I don't know the specifics, but Tink is the shortest of the fairies. I've heard the others end more around 5'3 - 5'4, so you're probably close!

You're right. I was just looking at pics and she is the shortest.

Hey
Im looking to do the CP maybe in 2011. I am 5'9 and blonde. I look VERY young for my age. I am a size 2. I have blonde hair. Green eyes. and a rounded button type nose


DOes this sound possible for ANY face

THanks!!

 

[Berlioz70]

Unfortunately, with your height, you will need to look older as that's the villain range. The good news is, if you make Disney a career you have those characters as an opportunity down the road and you'll last longer than the young girls, who people typically outgrown in a couple of years.

 

[barbiecruiser]

Boo that stinks. What about non face characters?

 

[heyhowdyhey]

hey i got a couple questions.
1. im a 6'0 male would i be friends with just the 5'11 to 6'0 roles or the 6'0to6'2 roles too..?
2. im relaly not a good dancer i can kinda dance but i do have character experience(iduno if anybody has heard off halloween haunt at like knotts berry farm or other cedar fair parks) but i use to be a monster at one of those i wore makeup and everything. do u think that could better my chance of anything

I haven't actually done the CP, but I read these boards all the time and there's lots of stories about people who have, so I know my answers from a lot of their info.

1. Depends on how Disney measures you at auditions. Usually they measure people an inch down, but you could get measured about an inch up. I think it kind of depends on what they need, so heights are a little biased. Goofy, Jafar , Beast, etc. (There's a LOT more, but for some reason I can't remember them right now.) Btw, being tall gives you an advantage.

2. As long as you can pass the short dances at the auditions you'll be fine. They give you a second dance and it is generally a bit harder, but not too hard. About the charcater thing, the more experience the better.

3. I would imagine glasses would be ok since the heads seem kind of big, but contacts are probably more comfortable when standing inside those things.

Ooh I wonder what I would fit as? I'm about 5'5" but they might make me 5'4" since I'm not quite there.. I have long brown hair, a few light freckles, my face is more long than rounded.. I look young for my age too. I took dance for 10 years so I'm sure the dance part would go fine if I did audition.. not sure about the acting though.
I want to be Belle even though I'm sure I don't have much chance even if I looked like she should hah. A fairy would be cool too. I'd actually like to be anything really

You have lots of oppurtunites in face. You are princess height and if they measure you at 5'4 you could possibly be "friends" with one of the fairies I think, just not Tink. Looking younger would probably help your chances. I think the only princesses you couldn't be "friends" with would probably Snow White (she has a round face), and Aurora (she's generally a bit taller). You are at a pretty normal height though for fur, so you could have a lot of competiton.

 

[AliSW]

Awesome!! Thanks for the info I guess I will have to audition now just to see (and not chicken out haha)
Also, if I did look right for a face part, would dancing or acting matter more or would it depend on what character or anything? Or is the audition mostly for fur characters and they just look for people would could do face?

You need to be able to pass the dancing and animation parts of the audition. From what I understand, they 1st teach you an easy dance and if you pass that, they teach you a harder one. Its not that hard though. Then you do the animation part. Basically, they'll tell you to act out something using no words. They could tell you act out pretend to make a sandwhich, meeting your favorite character at the parks, what do you do if you're hungry at the parks, etc. Those are the ones I've heard on here. You have to make big movements and be very animated about. Smile as much as you can. They like that. Most people at the auditions are only selected for fur, but they could pull you for face. Usually they only pull a very few for face. You gotta have the right look/height. Good luck

FWIW, I found this on disneyauditions.com for a Paris audition:

Female look-a-likes with dance skills*
Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Mary Poppins 165cm–170cm
Mulan 157cm–168cm
Princess Tiana 165cm–173cm
Sleeping Beauty, Jasmin 163cm–168cm
Wendy 152cm–168cm
Tinkerbell 150cm–160cm

I'm not sure if heights vary from park to park though. Also these are in centimeters.

 

[AliSW]

Wow thanks for all the info again I'm not sure how I would do on the acting part but I can practice!
What else do they look for for face? What would a good body size be with my height? Would smaller eyes be bad? Are long legs good? Does hair color matter? I don't know if you know very specific things or anything, I'm just very curious to see how I would fit haha.

 

[PrincessMegan]

I know for face, hair color doesnt matter. Everyone wears wigs. even if you do have the same hair color as the character your friends with.
