Character Heights/CP Auditions

[PennyLou]

I've read this baord all the way from its start and it seems a lot of people get the combination of favorite character and food in the parks. What did you do for those two?

that was so strange to me, they used to/normaly only give you one topic. I've have holday themes (so I wraped a gift) I've had getting ready for a party, I've had walking a red carpet ect.. (cuz after you are a CM you have to go once a year to keep your skill levels curent)

Oh geez... today is my audition. Who's nervous? ME. It's 4:30am and 12 hours from now the audition will be in full swing (it's starts at 4pm, check in is at 3pm).

Anyone going to the Chicago audition, look out for an African American girl with mad jitters. Hahaa

they cut people? do you just mean you weren't kept for the second dance cuz more people aren't? I never have been before and I'm a character..

Yeah I believe they do that for the bigger auditions. We had about 124 ppl in Chicago. So I think the first few cuts were made on your measurements, which sucks hard core...

Thanks, it might be a day or a couple more ours til I'm over it completely. We did get to do a dance but some people that did well at it were still cut. There were a lot of people there

I'm still confused then I guess, did you dance in a group of 6 for them? or did they cut people before that. Cuz the group of 6 is the audition and like in one place only 9 people got asked to stay to dance again, that doesn't mean they are the only 9 being considered. it just means they are the only 9 being considered for higher level dancing roles. but like I said I've never gotten to that part and I'm a character.

The "new" audition process, for larger locations, is to start out with an across the room routine. It's two eight counts of very basic movements. They are able to sort through people who can keep a beat and those who cannot pretty easily during this section. This is also the time where they make cuts based on height (as mentioned).

After this, they do the dance/animation section.

Then they may pull people to an advance dance, or at least select a couple people to video tape the dance audition.

oh ok, cool, the other day there where like 75 of us so they let all of us dance in the groups of 6.

ohhh this is scary.. another reason to be upset i'm in a common height - hopefully by next year's auditions (for fall 2011) it won't be as bad...

Hopefully this is true cuz it will mean the economy has turned around and I will have a real job!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! That's scary that they did that. I can't believe they would cut people that early, after some people spent all that money getting there. :/

You just have to remember, you're still going to Disney! It will be awesome no matter what.

Yeah it hurt quite a bit, luckily I had a friend still waiting for me. Some folks came from so far away.

That's true. Cant be mad about that, it's the light that I keep looking at to pull me through haha. I'll get over it, it'll just take a while.
This is me now--->
This'll be me by next week -->

okay so I have a question....

I got accepted into the college program for DLR for QSFB. If I were to go to a character audition and get a part would i be able to work as a character versus my QSFB? or would I be allowed to work both?

I'm thinking I'm perfect mouse height... i'm 5'1 mayyyybe close to 5'2 lol

I don't know how it works in DLR, but I'm going to assume that it's the same as WDW, where you switch your role, so you would no longer be a QSFB, you would now be entirely in a character role.

And you're actually taller than mouse, you're in the middle of the munks.

Disney Land doesn't have characters for there CP program yet at least the auditions are just for disney world CPs. Cuz I thought about applying for DL since I've done DW before but they don't have a space for characters for there program.
