Character Heights/CP Auditions

[kenziekinz09]

Yes, Tiana is in the typical "princess range." I do believe she tends to be taller rather than say the base of that range but that is just based on the number of times I have met her rather than any insider knowledge.

That's fine because I'm closer to 5'6 anyway. Thanks for answering

So if I were to quit at the end of the summer, if I wanted to be a performer the following summer, could I? Would they see that I quit & be like "no, you quit early last time we aren't going to hire you again."

If I didn't quit, & had a seasonal job, would I go back down during the holiday season?

In other words, what months do seasonal performers work??

You would have to go seasonal if you wanted to work again the next summer

Peter Pan and Mad Hatter run around 5'4-5'5.

The color code depends on the role. Some roles will have higher color codes then others

Thank you for this!
My DS15 is 5'3" and weighs 90 lbs. I know he is still growing, but it is VERY unlikely that he will get much bigger. He is planning to audition for Entertainment in the future so we are gathering info now.

Weird question, but I couldn't help but wonder...what do the face characters do about their fingernails? Is there a standard for paint/size? I know there are certain requirements for regular cast members, but...yeah...

I'm not really sure about nail polish rules (if it is different than general Disney Look guidelines) but I do know that they are allowed to have "fake nails" as long as the fit within Disney Look guidelines. I can't think of a time that I met a face character with painted nails but honestly that isn't really something I actively pay attention to.

I'm thinking that nail polish is either natural nude colors, a clear polish or none at all or with a natural-ish looking groomed manicure.

I'm super amped up about this summer because I just got my acceptance email for Fall Advantage 2011!!

I was accepted in Attractions, but I'm still going to the Pittsburg character audition, and I was wondering; how extensive is the dance part of the dance audition? I've never been trained in any kind of dance but I can do basic steps and have a decent sense of rhythm I guess...

I'm just wondering how crazy it'll be, and if I should be brushing up on my ballet terminology?

*I don't know if this matters, but I'm 5'11''-6' depending on the ruler, caucasian, female, and sassy as all heck.*

If you can pick up basic steps and keep rhythm you should be fine. Its completely possible to not be a dancer and pass the audition. The dance portion starts out simple like a march in place type thing and gets more complicated and from what I remember faster paced. So you will probably be fine at the beginning but you may have a bit of a harder time at the end. I am like you (not trained at all) and thats how it has worked out for me both times I have auditioned. They say that if you can't pick up all of it try to get the upper body/arms and just move the right direction. lol

Thanks! I have a tendency to flap around when I don't know what I'm doing during a dance, but if I can work up to the hard stuff, then it should go more smoothly.

Thank you for all the help guys

Are there more than 1 of the same princess through out the parks? Like could Snow White be in Magic Kingdom & Epcot at the same time?

 

[Belle_91]

Does anyone know Alice's height?

Oh yes definitely in fact a lot of the characters might be in more than one place at a single park. Especially with the Princess, you can find Cinderella in Cinderella's Royal Table, doing Meet and Greets in TT/AL/wherever they end up, and in Dream Along With Mickey...all at the same time. But of course there's only one Cinderella she can just get around very quickly ;-)

 

[themermaidgirl]

She's usually along the same lines as Tinkerbell and Wendy (who is usually a mutual Friend to Alice).
So I'd say 4'10-5'2 ish

Has anyone worked fur before? What's it like? Also, what's it like being a face character?

My college doesn't offer credit for the Disney College Program, and I'm also a history major. However, it sounds like so much fun, and there is no where else on earth to get this kind of oppurtunity. Does it really look good on your resume even if working at Disney is sort of unrelated to your major?

People who have gotten into the program-how much expirance did you have? I have done only a handful of shows-mainly high school and community theater so nothing fancy.

I'm sure working doing the CP in general is great to have in your resume. Disney, being a huge corporation, is known everywhere and people are always impressed when they hear somone say that they worked for Disney. Like the CP website says, the CP is open to all majors, they have some listed there because those are the most common. I haven't done the program yet, but I know that the CP is something really big and it makes you stand out from others.

Hey has anyone been a fur character performer? Are the costumes really that hot to be in? I live in southern Louisiana so I'm used to hot humid climates, but I don't want to be miserable while down there...

 

[Coster077]

depends on the costume. some are hotter than others

 

[sanctumbarbosa]

I could add your livejournal to my friend's list Berlioz? I want to get more information regarding the program for when I select to apply; because you're looking in to a character role.

In general though, what is it like to be fur and face? Is it fun to do both? I am mainly interested in hearing from people's expirances in fur. Is the heat stroke worth it to see the look on those little kiddies' faces lol?

Edit: I just read on a blog that you should take dance lessons before auditioning. Is the dance portion really that hard?

Sure!

You'll want to go back a couple years, I was a Character Performer in 2008 so the info is buried pretty deep now. Also, you should know that I do not talk about my performer experiences as they are considered confidential and part of Disney Character Integrity, so my blog is more focused on the CP and not my specific role.
