Yeah, It took me WAY too long to join. This is such an awesome site! I'm pretty sure that I've fallen in love with everyone who's posted something! While reading through, I started thinking WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE!
Btw, you're awesome! LOVE all of your stuff! You will definitely see your dream come true, and I can't wait to hear when it does because you deserve it! Looks like I'll be at the Pittsburgh Audition, if I get through the interviews. Thanks for anwsering my question!

I know! Those were my thoughts when I found the Dis. Why didn't I join sooner?! lol Thanks for all the good wishes - I might be at the Pittsburgh Audition, too! They are having FT auditions at the CP one. I'm still deciding if I'm going to that audition or an Orlando one the next week.

Brenna (Beriloz70) has. A whole bunch of people on this thread have auditioned like belladisneydncr, queenofpriderock, etc. I highly recommend you read back through this thread a lot of your general questions will be answered, but to answer it in a nutshell: keep your hair and makeup simple, a ponytail with minimal makeup would be best, (you'll sweat so a lot of makeup isn't a good idea.) If by skills you mean what you'll be doing at the audition, a simple dance routine followed by an animation portion where you'll act out a scenario like meeting your favorite character at the park. Hope that helps!

Are they going to give you the routine or should i do it myself?? Are they looking for a certain height or weight? Just wondering, I will look back through the thread though

They teach you the routine at the audition, and they are always looking for mouse height so if your around 5'0 ft you will be in really good shape if you can do basic dance and can pantomime. I believe 6'0 ft to 6'3 is also under "special consideration" too.

 

[PennyLou]

they give to you a dance rutine and then give you a topic for the animation and you are given I belive 16 counts to make up a story to the topic to animate then you dace again then you animate again and then you are done.


They take all heights but as it says mice and goofys are more imporatner to them but they take all heights. Weight isn't as big a deal as long as you can fit in costumes your fine.

 

[Berlioz70]

I believe 6'0 ft to 6'3 is also under "special consideration" too.

I know it lists those above 6 foot in special consideration, but that's not really true. They really only need 5' and shorter. It's easy to find tall people... my husband is 6'2, passed the audition, and waited in the pool for 6 months and was never called - and he can dance!!

 

[illini4princess]

From what I've understood there are two parts to the audition. An animation part (which is kind of like an acting test) and then the dancing part. They teach you the dance and it's supposed to get more difficult with each 8 count.

As for height and weight, as it says on the site, special consideration is given to those who are taller and shorter. Thre more common your height is the more competition you'll have. As for weight, I'm pretty sure Disney accepts a range of sizes. You just need to be healthy and able to fit in the costume (if you want to say be a face character).

 

[Kayticheer101]

Okay so im 5'2-5'3 and im about 125 lbs. Im planning on losing 1 or 2 lbs in the next week or 2 though. Is that a good range? For face character does your face have to be picture perfect??

You're at a good height, in my opinion. The closer to 5'0", the better. As others have said, weight doesn't matter as much as height.
For face, it isn't so much being picture perfect- it's more looking like the character. They have specific guidelines for each character's face. They look at face shape, noses, eye shape, etc. Search for pictures of the character you think you resemble on flickr or google. You'll be able to see common face characteristics. I think that there are many face characters that don't look like what the fashion world would consider "picture perfect"- but they make really pretty princesses/fairies/etc.

In my opinion i think i would make a good wendy or fairy. i dont have the same bone structure as tinker bell but maybe another fairy. If my hair color is not the color of wendys they give you wigs right? or do they go by your hair color too?

 

[Berlioz70]

Everyone is wigged regardless of natural hair color. The exception are the princes.

...Even Prince Erik? I've seen some pretty shady looking Prince Eriks....

 

[Berlioz70]

Haha - no, not Eric. I was referring to Snow, Philip, and Charming.
