Character Heights/CP Auditions

[Katy0708]

I am about 6'0" so I would be Tigger height...then I checked my pictures from my last trip to the Magic Kingdom over the summer and I'm exactly the same height as Tigger and only slightly shorter than Goofy.

That was fun!....though I probably will not be in a character role, it's still fun to look at!

My friend is good friends with Goofy and Tigger, and he informed me that Goofy is going to get shorter. I think he is going to start at 5' 10, or something like that, but i don't know when they are going to start enforcing that. So Goofy is going to go through a shrinking stage soon!

Hi, quick question

I really want to be a character.. ive previously worked at chuck e cheese and my job was being chuck. Im really good at it, and i learned alot of skills while being this character. my height is 6 foot exactly.. i want to be tigger! but any character would be nice!

my recuriter told me there only haveing auditions in

I live in illinois .. so that means i must travel to one of these locations to do an audtion? How much of a chance usually do average people have at these audtions? Do they usually recruit alot? I do not want to waste the money to get over to these locations to find out that there only recruiting a certain amount. i looked on

Most of the auditions have passed already, which is why there are only a couple auditions left.

Also, if you go down on the CP in a role, you are not able to audition unless you are planning on extending your CP.

I know this really doesn't have anything to do with the auditions but it applies to characters so i guess it can go here...

do they use normal character performers to play the characters at star wars weekends? and has anyone out there ever got to be a star wars character? along with being a disney character- being a star wars character would be sooo awesome! i would love to get to work those weekends!

It depends on the character. But for the most part, yes.

I know what you mean! When I found out I was Fall instead of FA... the first thing that came to my mind was... Now I'll NEVER be friends with C3PO (who is in my height range) - that would have been so much fun!!!

 

[mirs]

no, they have special auditions for star wars weekends

Not for all of them. I know several of the SWW characters. And they assist regular characters.

Tomorrow is the big day! I have been to multiple Disney auditions before so I'm not that nervous, but this time is something I was more then anything! Is anyone else here going to the auditions tomorrow in San Francisco? I'm 6'0 so I'm really hoping that my height will get me into a character roll.

 

[Justy]

I am! But you already knew that...

 

[bellaDisneydncr]

Break a leg guys!

Good luck!!

6'0 is a good height. It's under the special consideration.

[jeffwayne12]

So I just got back from the audition. All in all I had such an amazing time and met some great people. We had to do two different improves before doing the dance routine. I must admit that this audition was pretty crucial. Now comes the wait of knowing if I got in.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You just gotta pick it back up and do it again.
