Character Heights/CP Auditions

[missalice]

Oh no no no I would love to be from somewhere interesting like that, but I'm not. I'm from Canada, although I did live in England for a few years (my mother's side is from there and my, albeit fake, accent comes fairly naturally to me). And no, I don't have experience in the Walt Disney company (I wish), but I have had seasonal work (particularly the Halloween season) as a character in our best theme park.

So I pretty much just shot down all of your interest, eh? Haha, sorry folks!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Canada is cool too.. haha. Love Tim Hortons!

 

[Kayla0929]

Definitely not, That's awesome!
Congrats on the gold in hockey, go crosby!

 

[missalice]

Haha thanks! It's a constant party down here right now. I, however, am stuck in my room trying to study for my Philosophy midterm. This board and my Disney-fied state of mind right now, however, is distracting me! lol.

@ZeroToHero: Yeah, Timmy's! Better than Starbucks in my humble opinion.

 

[Kayla0929]

WHOA! Same here, that's weird.
Everyone was all into the hockey game and having a ball, while I'm sadly studying for my philosophy and world theatre history midterms that are tomorrow morning...and being distracted by this board.

 

[missalice]

My Philosophy midterm is tomorrow morning too! Haha, darn this board and all of its intrigue. I haven't even started for my Sociology midterm tomorrow. Don't think I will...

Silly us, this has nothing to do with CPs! Kayla, who do you want to audition for? Sorry if this was earlier in the thread, I didn't read all of it.

 

[Kayla0929]

Opps, you're right! back to the actual topic at hand:
My dream roles are to be "friends with" either Snow White or Belle (emphasis on dream)
BUT knowing how slim the chances are, I would love to be "friends with" any fur in my height! Just to be a character performer at all would be incredible.

 

[missalice]

I completely agree. Naturally I'd love to be best buds Wendy and Alice, as mentioned, as they're in my height range and would be heaps of fun to hang with. You never know, they could need a Belle or Snow White!

I'd be glad with any fur too, I think in my range I could be friends with the chipmunks!

Anyone else attending the Pittsburgh audition?

Hey, I'm new to these threads, but I had a question. I am thinking about trying for the College Program next spring, but I wanted to be prepared. I am currently a theatre major at my college, so I would really like to be a character performer in the program, but I am 5'10" and I have a trouble learnign a dance on short notice, such as at auditions (although once I learn a dance I'll know it forever). I also heard that if you audition, you have to wait longer to find out if you are in the program and the other jobs you show interest in continue to fill up, so there's a chance that not only will I not make it as a character performer, but I won't even make the program. Any suggestions on whether I should take a chance at auditions or take a safer route?

 

[Kayla0929]

While it is true that you wait longer to find out if you are accepted as a character performer, you find out if you are accepted into the program as another role on your checklist before you audition. So you will know whether or not you got in and have a spot saved in your desired area. So go ahead and audition! It'll be fun and can't harm your chances. Best of luck!

 

[Kayla0929]

Me!

Yay! I'll see you there!

Thanks a lot! I've been wanting to work at Disney World, since high school, so I didn't want something like this to ruin my chances of getting in.

 

[missalice]

This is killing me! =P Thursday I do my face to face interview with them, and a few days after that I find out if I'm a character performer. If I am, I'm guaranteed a spot even after my audition (my audition isn't until I get down there!) So exciting.

Good luck I hope ALL goes well.

Oh wow, that's such a different process! Good luck!

So, just curious, how many of the people on here are already working in WDW in some form? Or will be in April?
