Character Heights/CP Auditions

[daydreamer510]

well, I just want to say, be glad your teeth aren't like mine. I'm missing one tooth next to my two front teeth, and the tooth on the other side is what's called a "peg tooth". It's something I've wanted to get fixed for a long time, but I haven't had the money to get it done. People don't really notice it, but it's definitely something that would be a hindrance to getting face.

I didn't even get past the first round of the audition =/. They took like 40 of us in at a time and maybe a little more then half passed in my group.

Aww =/ What did they have you do?




Also, about the teeth, they probably are a bit important.
I for one have braces, so I'm not worried about the fact, though I feel sorry for those who don't!

They just taught us an easy dance that we had to do across the room in front of four judges. They look at how big your movements are and if you're smiling. I messed up a little on one part of the dance, but yea I didn't make it. It also could have been because they measured me at 5'6".

I'm sorry to hear that. The same thing happened to me last summer.

Do you think you'll extend in a different role?

 

[Caroleella]

yes I know people who have had medical procedures just to be cast--Nutters!

I got Lasik so that I would be considered for face...

 

[Joanna71985]

Well, I wouldn't really consider Lasik one of the crazy procedures she (she, right?) was talking about. I want Lasik too.

Lasik is pretty much the best thing I ever did, you should def. look into it if you're interested!

 

[daydreamer510]

I want Lasik, too, just so I don't have to wear glasses all the time. I'm so sick of them.

And I think she was referring to the people who get plastic surgery to be characters. I've heard of people getting nose jobs, breast reduction, breast augmentation, lipo, all sorts of things, just to be a character. The most I would do would be to get my teeth fixed, and get Lasik, but that's just because I want it anyways. I wouldn't do it JUST to get a character.

Oh I definitely will! I am sick and tired of not being able to see (plus I hate my glasses).

Aww, I'm sorry

Sounds fun to me.

Well I found my problem. Problem=glasses.
Though, I'll probably get contacts by then.

No I'm going to go home in May, I'm really not happy here and I'm getting homesick. I wish I could leave now but I'm stuck here =/.

Yes, I'm referring to the purely cosmetic surgeries! I'm not trying to insult anyone either, but some people just take things overboard. Seriously Folks, the pay and the magic of being a face isn't enough to justify a life savings in surgery...

I wear contacts, but I've considered Lasik and of course getting my teeth fixed. I remember when they started Lasik I wanted it, but I was terrified of them messing up and me going blind. I think that's still something that keeps me from doing it...and of course the money. That's still tops on my list.

[mirs]

Glad to hear it. I'm the same height as you.


Are you down doing the CP? Or were you going for a FT/PT/Seasonal position?

 

[mirs]

yeah im a cp now and i told them that i would be willing to do the extend as a character then take on seasonal. i just dont know if they put me in a pool or something and will contact me, or if i need to audition again? hmmm

Aww...I'm sorry about that

At least you know you passed--and passed the full audition! That means you can do it again if you desire. Roles will open up in time!

Hi! I am auditioning Sunday in Pittsburgh at the character audition. I'm not going for the College Program- just for a regular position. I'm really nervous but really excited! Performing in Disney has always been my dream! I read a lot of the posts and they were all very helpful- I just wondered how helpful having a dance background is for getting parade positions and such? Thanks!
