Character Performer Auditions

[Princess Ash]

I bet you were great! Did they say how long they were going to make you wait to find out?

For some reason I JUST saw this! Thank you! That's so nice!

We were told 2-3 weeks, but we're all hoping it'll be like 4-6 weeks...overestimated.

I'm so confused and worried now :/ all the other auditions seem like they pulled for face. Did any auditon at Pittsburgh and see if they pulled anyone from the CP for face?? Like they said at the beg. they were only looking for character performers for CP kids. They made it seem like they would only ask professional people to stay and they'd mark CP students that had potential down for face or parade or whatever.

It just seems weird that they pulled at all the other auditions for face and I'm worried now :/ I hope I made it

I just wanted to clarify some terminology... face is a character performer. So when they said CPs are usually character performers, that includes face. It just means they do not usually cast CPs as dancers in parades or shows.

It's possible they pulled for face and you just didn't notice. I didn't know they had at the Atlanta auditions until somebody on facebook said they had been chosen.

I don't think that anyone (besides the people who've actually BEEN character peformers for the CP of course) can say definitively whether or not being pulled for face at the auditions or making the advanced dance means that you'll be a princess or a parade performer. I've seen people say they got pulled for advanced dance and then weren't chosen to be a performer at all. And as to being overlooked for face, they have our pictures along with our applications. They'll probably be considered alongside the judges' remarks when they're making their decisions.

I know it's super tough, but I think the best solution is just to be patient and wait out the 2-3 weeks (or less....) until that decision comes down. Speculation just makes people crazy! I know I'm going over every second of my audition in my head over and over and over and over and it is so not helping, cause I can't go back and fix anything that I remember I did wrong!

Anyhoooooo now that all the auditions are over (except the extension ones I think, darn) maybe we'll hear soon. Week one of waiting is almost over!

Yes, I know that character performer can mean face too, but the 3 disney people in Pittsburgh specifically said that face and parade people would be chosen once they were in Orlando at the program. They said that they weren't trying anyone for face or advanced dancing that day for CP.

they said that at the rochester audition also, which is why i was confused when they asked me to stay after, doesn't mean that was your only opportunity to get noticed for face though they probably did pull for face in pittsburgh...before i ever intended to do a cp i went to the pittsburgh audition with a friend and ended up being fit in several costumes, wigs and makeup at that audition... they didn't bring costuming and cosmetology to any of these auditions however.. my guess is though, that they may have taken pictures of some potential face characters in pittsburgh

Auditioned in Ann Arbor today...

only one girl got asked to stay behind after the auditions and I have to say she was AMAZING...

I am not much of a dancer so I didn't do too great on the dance parts but oh well... I don't expect to get in, it was just a why not kinda thing...

At least I'm going to WDW either way

Attractions here I come!

 

[Princess Ash]

I wonder if the people that got asked to stay for the advanced dance auditions were for the parades or something more advanced than that like a stage show?

I noticed that the parades do not require in-depth dance knowledge so I am curious, that's all.

I also always thought that the stage shows were for SAG actors/dancers so that must eliminate those people...

Anyways, I didn't get pulled for adv. dance or anything, I'm just generally musing.

Back to checking my emails...

Good luck everyone!

The following are SAG roles:
Dancers in the following shows: Castle Show, BatB Show, Hoop Dee Do
Actors in the following shows: Storytime (Belle), Pirate Tutorial, Streetmosphere
All Singers and Stunt performers are SAG

The dancers in parades and shows such as HSM, FoLK and Trolly are not SAG.

Thanks for the info!

I thought for sure FoLK would be all SAG...that's pretty awesome that they are not!

Trolly being opening show at MK/AM shows?

I forget, Streetmosphere is DHS entertainment on the street, right?

Yep

They're every where! Most commonly known from DHS, but there are people on main street and then tons of performers around Epcot and DAK.

I think you guys mean AEA, not SAG. SAG is Screen Actor's Guild, and has nothing to do with live performances, only film.

And btw, no one was pulled for face at the OKC auditions last week, though the lady was taking pictures all during the audition. Four people were called to do the extended dance combo (one of whom has already been a character on the CP), which I know is usually if you are being considered for parades.
