Character Heights/CP Auditions

[r1009t]

To be selected for the advance portion of the dance you must be selected by casting during the regular dance. At some locations they video tape and others they teach a dance. I think it depends on how much time they have and how many people there are. The advance audition is a combination of different styles: ballet, jazz, and hip hop are the main three.

I'm glad you find my websites helpful!

That's good to know because I don't know anything about hip-hop. Being 5'8.25 (exactly) am I out of consideration for any female face chatacter roles? Does being a dancer give me an edge at all?

You're not completely out of luck for face (I'm 5'7, check out Meg in my avatar - also Tremaine and Queen are your height)... but yes, Dance gives anyone an edge!

Thanks, with 'disney height' am I still to tall for princesses?

If they measure you at your true height then yes, you'd be too tall. My Disney height is an inch shorter than my real height, so just wait to worry about those things until you have your audition and they measure you.

I was also measured an inch shorter than what I am

 

[kateface517]

I was measured an inch shorter as well.

 

[bgirl781]

I got measured at my exact height - 5'10"

 

[Tigerlily724]

I was measured 2 inches shorter. Im about 5'2" and was measured just above 5 feet.

I know especially because I have no control over it. While Tremaine and Meg might be more fun to play, being measured at princess height probably gives more options. (Not the princess wouldn't be cool too ) Any advice that's not all ready on these boards for animation?

Thank you everyone that shared their 'disney heights' it gives me a lot more confidence!

On a side note- I apologize if anyone has tried to pm and couldn't, I don't have enough posts yet! (but getting there!)

practice in front of a mirror. Make everything big especially your body language. But that doesn't mean that you can slack off with facial expressions. Despite the fact that most characters' faces are covered, it will really add to your overall audition quality if you give it everything you have. I really wish that I had been more prepared for mine. Apparently a lot of people knew what the animation was going to be about but I had no idea, so I had to scramble to think of what character would be recognizable.

Practicing in front of a mirror is great advice! And if you find out what they are going to ask you to do...trust me...PREPARE it. And practice and practice and practice. That's what I did. I can honestly say I gave 100% everything I had...I tried my best...still waiting.

They sent out the accepted emails but not the rejected emails. I didnt recieve an email this morning so I'm guessing thats not a good sign. Congratulations to those who did!

[Princess Ash]

I would go for an email, a name change, a phone call, anything!

I got a phone call from "Unknown" today with a message. I was practically bursting out of class, ready to call back and say "YES! Yes I will change it to Spring if you want me as a Character Performer!"...it was a telemarketer recorded vm....FAIL.
