Character Performer Auditions

[Joanna71985]

I can't really know what happened. But from your post, it sounded like you had already been given a role before you auditioned. If that was the case, I don't think you would have been allowed to audition. I'm sorry all that happened to you.

Furthermore, at the two auditions I've been to since, they have voided my results because they chose me for something else I didn't even sign up for.

I have no explanation about what happened in terms of Alice, but you're only allowed to attend the auditions once every 6 months, so those other two auditions would be voided.

It all depends on what they are looking for. They could be looking for certain heights, dancers, and so on.

The usual requirements for princess are height (although I know of one person who was given leeway on the height), your face, how they would look in the costume (sometimes...note SOMETIMES) they pull people for face and try makeup or the whole costume on them to see if they look like the character or not and I'm not entirely sure what else, I know more about the fur character requirements then face characters. I know those are some of the basics.

Thanks! Love yours too.

Sorahana pretty much answered the question. In FL there are auditions just for face auditions. And at the CP auditions, not all pull for face (although, if you go to one and they think you could do face, they make a note and you will get looked at in FL).

At my audition they said that they only do wig and costuming for no more than 4 auditions.

That wouldn't surprise me. They didn't do it at my audition in Boston a couple of years ago. They probably only do fittings at auditions that usually have a big draw of people.

More questions....

My daughter will be going down in Feb to WDW for an audition. This will be her 1st ever. She's 18 years old, size 0-2, 4'10" and 89lbs and of course cute! She's been dancing 3 classes a week for 16 yrs.

What can she expect to go through and what can she expect to get considered for?

Thanks in advance!

Boston, or Rochester NY

Boston, or Rochester NY

Thanks Joanna!


Hey, also... Are there usually places to put bags (backpacks, not huge luggage) at the audition sites? Particularly in Boston. We're planning to fly to Boston for the audition then go to NYC for a few days so we'll have a backpack each. Any suggestions if they don't offer lockers or some sort of secure place to put your stuff? Id imagine people would at least have their keys and wallets so they must put those somewhere, right?

I suppose I'm a little confused here... is it true that if you apply and sign up for an audition (which I'm still fuzzy on) then you may not get picked for anything else? Because as much as I would love to be friends with some characters, I'm not sure if it's worth risking several other things I would also be really happy with.

And if you do get accepted as a character, but it's fur, and you don't know how well you'll hold up with the heat, what are the chances of getting another spot? I doubt it's that good, but I figured I'd ask.

There wasn't when I auditioned in Boston. People just left their bags against the wall. I kept my cell in my pocket.

It depends. If you don't pass the audition, you will be considered for the other roles you picked. As long as they aren't filled up, you will be put in one of them (that's what happened to me in 2006). Also, if you are character-pooled, you run the chance of the roles filling up as well (especially if you wait til the deadline).

BTW- you definitely will be doing fur if you pass the audition. Everyone does (even people who do face). I guess it would all depend on what would be available.

does anyone know if/when the exact dates for the character auditions for fall/fall advantage are coming out? I have to figure out my schedule because I'm working on a theater production but it's hard to schedule things if i don't have those dates!

 

[elphie101]

I don't know when they're going to be releasing the dates, but based on the Spring 09 timeline, I'm going to say the dates will span between late March-early April

 

[Joanna71985]

My audition was March 30.

The dates probably won't be released for awhile.

Most of the info on how the audition process works is in this thread. Just go back through all the different posts. And height is major. Your height is one they like to get. Good luck!
