I'm going to the Rochester audition!! My friend Meagan and I are flying into New York City from Austin, Texas for a few days before the audition, then we're taking Amtrak to Rochester. Do you live nearby or are you staying the night?

We're looking for people to go to the Strong Museum of Play with us after the audition!

No I've never been north of Memphis. I googled things to do in Rochester since we'll be there for two days (the night before the audition, the day of the audition, that night and the next morning) before we fly home. My friend and I LOVE that kind of stuff! We have a science and history museum in Dallas and its geared towards children and I think it makes it ten times more fun. When its geared towards kids, its usually more interactive and not as much reading-of-the-plaques. We could hang out in places like that for hours.

So you'll be back home in Rochester on spring break I'm guessing?

First time posting. Juuuust joined.

Did the online app., went to the presentation, phone interview in 2 days (Fall 2009 hopeful)

Of course I marked some other roles but I REALLY would like to be a face character. Me and about a million other people >___<

I'm not sure how tall I am, I've been measured at 5' 1.5" to 5' 2.5" oii

I'm asian so that leaves me pretty limited to the "ethnic" faces I suppose.

Obviously, I can imagine being friends w/ Mulan, Silvermist (the black hair fairy from Disney Fairies?), mayyyybe Pocahontas & Jasmine too?

Does anyone know the heights for Mulan & the Disney fairies? I'd imagine they aren't part of the "average" princess height of 5'4"-5'7"something..

Also, I heard Mulans were a bit more in demand to cast due to not as many auditioners.. Would you guys agree/disagree?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

 

[TheGhostAcademy]

ALSO:

I can't dance but is it a very necessary aspect as a face character?

I will be embarrassing myself for so long dancing (but with a smile on my face!) during audition if they don't pull me out for face quickly! ahh

Welcome to DIS - Good luck on your audition.

You should know that everyone is required to Dance because
the auditions are for fur, face is just an addition to fur, but everyone starts in fur regardless of whether they are pulled for face. Based on that, even if you're pulled for face, you are still expected to pass the dance audition. I know of someone approved in Wendy, but she didn't pass the dance, so she wasn't offered a role.

As for heights... I'm not aware of a shortage of Mulans, but I know Poca is generally needed more. Mulan only does one meet n greet whereas Poca has a meet n greet and a show (Fant!). Your height estimates are about on... Fairies are typically 5'3-5'6 (Tink is shorter), Mulan was listed on disney auditions.com as 5'2-5'6, I'm not finding a height for Poca or Jasmine, but I think your assumption is probably close.

Yes, she is! She's hoping for Snow White and she looks just like her! She always has, so I hope they're in need of a Snow!

You're more than welcome to come to the museum with us! We have no idea what else to do whilst in Rochester but we were scared about booking a flight the same day as the audition (this was before the posted the place and time) so we have some time in town. haha. We'd love to meet up with new people who are also auditioning!

Does anyone know the general months the auditions are held for the Spring seasons?

When I met Jasmine, she was about the same height as me. I'm 5'1.

Usually in Nov/Dec.

is anyone going to the audition in Orlando?

 

[impsythealmighty]

For the fairies - Tinkerbell is 4'11-5'2, while the others are 5'2-5'5, unless they've changed them since they first started meet&greeting. Good luck!

is anyone going to the audition in Orlando?

I AM!!! MY AUDITION IS ON APRIL 8TH!!! IM SUPER EXCITED TO GO!! but I'm debating if I should just go in to the audition, or just try to go for face?? a lot of people have been telling me that I look like Iridessa (light fairy from Tinkerbell movie) or have features like her. Maybe I should try for that? or just wait until they tell me that I can probably go for face?? also...im short..4'10 short....does that make me too small to be a fairy??or any character in that matter???
