Character Heights/CP Auditions

[bellaDisneydncr]

Yeah, there's definitely no way I can stay through August unfortunately. How disappointing! I asked the College reps AND the man in charge of my presentation, plus I mentioned my desire to audition in May on the phone during my interview. Someone should have corrected me. I wouldn't have applied to stay through summer had I known. In fact, I only applied for SA (over just Spring) because of the May auditions.

Well, fingers crossed for BBB I suppose.

EDIT -- also it sucks that my school had their presentation after auditions ended. I would have just watched the online presentation/ found an audition, especially since I've already seen the on-campus presentation but was uneligible to apply. I guess that's my fault, for not researching, but it would make more sense for them to leave the auditions open until they finished touring the presentations.

It is an odd set up. I don't understand why they do that, but I don't understand a lot of what Disney does with the CP lol If you absolutely cannot stay until August, you should email your recruiter. They may be able to switch your preference from SA to Spring. I had a friend once who had to change from FA to just Fall and the recruiter took care of it.

Oops! I meant to say that I can't stay AFTER August. I applied for SA, so I will be staying through August. Still, though, if auditions are over I suppose there's nothing I can do

I guess I'll have to come back after I graduate? Haha

Okay so im 5.3 and im about 125 lbs. Im planning to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week or so. Is this a good choice? character-face makes your face is a perfect picture?

i just got my acceptance packet (never got an email) for attractions as part of the spring advantage program! however, i still haven't heard anything back from my audition. If i recall correctly i'm supposed to hear back whether i passed the audition or not. Should i still anticipate an email or some sort of decision from auditions or am i in attractions for sure?

I believe you should still be getting some type of answer from the auditions. They always send out acceptances with other roles before you hear back about character performer.

If your 5'3 and 125 you really don't need to lose any weight. You honestly don't have to be any certain weight to be a performer. You will be fitted individually for each friend and so your weight isn't really critical. And at 5'3 125 you will be fine. <-- mind you thats my opinion.
I'm not really sure what your asking for the second question. You don't have to look exactly like the movies to be friends with a character. And you don't have to be picture perfect. You can have what I call a squinty eye (I have this, my right eye looks smaller when I smile lol), a mole, not the same color eyes (ie green instead of blue). Its more that you look like the other friends than identical to the character. Or so I understand.

So...just looked at the audition calendar again. They seem to only be looking for female characters/parade performers for the dates I'm available. Do you think this means that there's a better chance for us girls in the 5'4-5'7 height range than normally?

(i'm jonesing for either Vidia or a princess, so I'm getting a little absurdly excited)

I probably means you'll be in the next batch to either hear if you're accepted or not.

The audition process was a bit more challenging than I was expecting. I had a great time though!! I auditioned the middle of October in Salt Lake City and I just got my email telling me that I wasn't selected to be a character performer. I'm ok with that though. I am still way excited to work attractions and get to interact with people that way.

 

[carolcoral]

does anyone know where to look to see if their role has changed? I haven't heard back about the auditions yet (auditioned in Boston four weeks ago) but I was just curious and wondered if I was looking in the right place.

It would be on the main page after you log-in...where it says your applicant number, dates of program, and then finally, role.

 

[Kuromie]

Yay! so I just logged on to the site and found out I'm going to be a character performer/Goofy!

 

[Frizzbird]

Congrats!! that is awesome.

It said that just on the DCP site? I thought you wouldn't find out until you got there?!

I think they're referring to their height category- as in they're in the Goofy Height range. That you do find out ahead of time.
