Character Heights/CP Auditions

[bellaDisneydncr]

Oh goodness... I've heard nothing but bad stories... I'm so sad for all of you that didn't get it. Did anyone from the Dis get anything? oh well I guess you won't find out for a while. But did anyone make it to the end?

 

[Ajaz]

There are. But they are all pretty tall (at least 5'10). 5'5-5'8 has pretty few characters.

Ack. I hope I get measured a bit tall then. I'm exactly 5'10" but I've heard Disney tends to measure down? Oh well, I've still got a year before I really need to worry about this.

Just think (and stand) tall

They actually measured me UP an inch...which is part of why I got cut. Just out of mouse height range :/

They tried to mesure me an inch down but I said no Im 5'8 and stood tall and she got 5'8 the second time and she kept me at that. Cuz 5'8 actually for an average height ha more roles then 5'7 and a lot more then 5'9. I have 8 charecters maybe 9 that go out in the summer rather then 3 or 4 cuz I car between 2 height ranges. Not that that means I'll get in but I just like where I am at 5'8

I wished they would at least let you finish the audition... I mean I understand why they make the cuts, but it just sucks to not get that feeling of accomplishment. You guys are still going to disney though!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may have already mentioned this, I'm not sure, but if you for some reason don't get the CP, are you going to stay seasonal? Hypothetically, of course.

yea, I deff am, thats why I'm only applying to be a CP in entertainment so I don't lose my sessional status there. If I had applied to do merch or something and then hoped to get into entertainment I would lose my seasonal status in entertainment and just be in Merch and thats not what I want, I love being in entertainment

Gotcha, thanks! I wasn't sure how auditioning worked if you were already employed there.

how have peoples auditions been going? the first of today auditions I guess strted already and the seaocnd one starts in an hour. Hope people break a leg! and that tomorrow (the last audition in Orlando!) goes well for people going to that!

 

[domi108]

Oh gosh guys! I'm sorry to hear some of you got cut after they took your height!
I went to the Orlando audition last year and they measured me at 5'3" so that would have sucked big time if they cut me right then and there. My dad would have been mad that we drove 3 and a half hours for nothing!
But I just when in it for the fun of it even though I knew I probably didn't have a high chance lol
And about the animation and stuff, yes we did the same thing where you would do an 8 count then animate meeting your favorite character and choosing something to eat!

Good luck to all! And just believe in yourself!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Today's the last day!!!! Hope everyone breaks a leg today, and let us know how it went!

 

[WhiteRabbit88]

I was also at the Chicago auditions and was cut first. My height was 5'5". Pretty dead. It realy sucked though cause I drove 5 hours to get there.

 

[PennyLou]

WEll I'm guessing the Orlando auditions are about over.. now we all just have to wait to hear.. I'm hoping middle to late next week we'll start hearing (since its a holiday weekend and stuff they'll prob wait till monday or so to go threw everything)

 

[ZeroToHero]

Probably... I bet they have the rest of the week off... haha. And they deserve a break after the whirlwind tour they just did!

...But not too long of a break, because we all want to hear!

I know right!

My DD auditioned in San Francisco on Sunday - there were 45 dancers there. She was one of the few who made it to the technical session. She is anxiously awaiting any news; hopefully it won't take too long. I'm excited for her and good luck to all of you - may all your dreams come true!!

 

[bellaDisneydncr]

I had two friends go to the pittsburgh audition. (Actually one is on here, so sorry that i'm telling your story for you lol) One was cut because of her height (5'3")- the other was kept until the end. These auditions were crazy this year- it's amazing.

 

[Kaitlyn526]

Sorry if these questions have been answered- I am new to all this. There are two different auditions for character performers? Face auditions and acting/dancing auditions? Are all the auditions over? I took dance for 12 years, and I took a lot of acting also. I am in the princess range (5'7"), and I am not too skinny or too fat (dress size 6) so would I have a shot?
Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks!

For College Programmers, there is only one audition - there is a possibility of being pulled for face at the larger auditions (did anyone get pulled, actually?)

And yes, for the Fall Semester, the auditions are over. If you are doing it for general Disney though, they have auditions year-round, you have to check the disneyauditions.com website.

And it's not so much your height and wieght as your facial features and other characteristics - only Disney can decide whether or not you're fit for a face character.

But even face characters do fur too, even if it's only at the beginning.
