Character Heights/CP Auditions

[ZeroToHero]

Oh man, auditions are this week! And of course, this would be the week where I feel awful - I went hiking last week, and my leg is still "feeling" it - hopefully I'm better by Wednesday.

I feel like this has been asked before, but I don't remember where - how long do they go over the dance with you? I know it's 36 counts or so, so I know the end product isn't that long, but do they review it for you more than one time? I know it definitely takes me more than one time to learn something, since I don't dance... I would need at least 3 or 4 times, I think.


Good luck to everyone who is going today!!!!!! Let us know how it went!

With audition week upon us, does anyone have any last minute tips? I'm so excited but so nervous!

 

[Yongo10]

me too! i'm so nervous!

I'll be in the Chicago auditions as well...!

Im hoping to be pulled for face (who isnt?) BUT for Tiana... Im not sure if they are still looking for her or not. And since she is new, does anyone know of any special things they want for Princess Tiana?

Also, I have quite the bust and I have sized up the dress, I do believe it can handle what I have (this sounds soo awkward) but, Im not sure if that could be something that'd detour them from picking me (amongst other things). Would you guys recommend anything for that? Or just any advice on Tiana at all? Or any characters that are black/dark skinned? I'm ok with fur character too, so there's that.

Ohhh~ I'm so so so nervous.

they are looking for Tiana still nroamly the dresses go to size 10/12 for face so you could be fine.. and all I really know about what they are looking for with her is the girl has to be 5'6-5'8 best of luck!

I'll be there, to be pulled for face there is nothing to do they just look at you and pull you if they think you look like them, they have just face calls after you are a CM also and you just stand in a line and then look at you! kind of crazy

I;ll be there n boston I leave tomorrow. A few others will be there as well.

 

[pinktink88]

you mean once you're an entertainment cast member?

i'm already in boston so i just have to drive 15 minutes, where are you coming from that you're leaving tomorrow??

Oh shucks! Thanks so much.

So now, back to the dress. The bust wont matter too much you think? Something that Im wondering is, do I go there down playing my bust or do I go there the way I am and have them figure it out. I am in that height range, but I will be walking to the audition (30 minute walk) and I'm a bit worried my height will be affected.

For the bust thing, I think the general consensus from these boards is to play it down but I really wouldn't worry to much about it. Sorry I'm not really clear your worried your height will be affected from walking? Are you bringing a heavy backpack with you?

Just stand up tall! lol and yea play your bust done none of the Disney girls are super busty. I mean you dont have to bind or anything but dont wear the bra that makes them look bigger lol.

And for PinkTink.. they wil do face pulling at this audition but year once you are a cast member (I'm sesaonal) you can also go to just face calls and all you do is stand in a line and they walk by and look at you, my point is there isn;t like "oh do this it alwasy works or act this way or wear this" just smile and hope for the best

 

[pinktink88]

i'm a cast member too but that's new to me!

Do you have to be an entertainment cast member to go to the face calls or are they open to any cast member?

They review it a good bit. How they do it is they'll teach you an 8 count at a time and keep adding on. So you'll learn the first, then add on the second, etc. They review it at least 2 times after you learn the whole routine, I believe. I realize that doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually a pretty good amount of review.

The face calls are open for everyone. However, if you're on the CP in a non-entertainment role you are less likely to get pulled. There are always exceptions with new characters (Tiana, fairies), but those are rare. They do not like to pull CPs from other lines of businesses because it hurts their agreements with those partners.

 

[PennyLou]

I feel like maybe they have face calls just for entertainment CMs more often then they have them for everyone but they do that them for all CMs as well.

That actually sounds fine! I think I can do that.




And I'll be at Boston on Wednesday as well! It's a bus+train ride for me, about a half-hour or so? Maybe a little more, if there's a lot of traffic.

I'll be wearing black and grey if anyone wants to chat beforehand - or just yell out "Danica!" and I bet I'll be the only one there who answers... hopefully. Haha.

Those are the SECPS, which are only for Entertainment. Anything considered a face audition (they have them every couple of months) are for everyone, they are listed on the Disney Audition website. They may also open up casting for special events (Star Wars Weekends), these are not listed on the website as they are not open to the public, but CMs from all lines of businesses may attend.

ok,I guess I was thinking of when they pull out new face roles and they have entertainemnt cm face calls first (that are just posted around the zoo and stuff) and then they have ones for everyone like when Lady T and the sisters went out and then the fiaries and stuff.

i have a train ride into NYC (I'm right outside the city) and then about 4-4 1/2 hrs from there to Boston, which is why I'm heading there tomorrow and then I'll head home after yay 10 hrs in transit in 2 days lol, I was just downloading movies for the trips and I've got a new book .

I have really short blondish hair, I'll be wearing a yellow/green tank and a Black hoodie with pink like patterns and stuff lol, I'm planing to gt there around 9ish so I'm sure I'll be looking for people to talk to

I should be there around the same time - I'm leaving after I get my brother on the bus to school. I'm aiming to catch the 7:55 bus, but I might miss that if his bus is late, in which case, I'll get the 8:25 - either way, I will be there around 9, maybe a little later if I get lost walking from Central Station.. haha.
