Character Performer Auditions

[Draidum]

I'm actually going to the Rochester auditions as well. I live about 2 hours away. I've been to an audition at the end of my last program, but I just did that to see what it was like. So this time I am really excited, but I will not be too disappointed if I don't get it since the other three roles I checked are awesome too.

Hey everyone! I am planning on attending the Austin audition. I am a little worried because it is late in the season. But hopefully it will work out. My dream is to be Tinkerbell. I am 5'1 with blond hair and blue green eyes. So perhaps there is a chance. I just finished my application on friday and have to wait till tomorrow to schedule an interview. alkjslgnd. I just want to hurry up and have that done.

Thats what I thought too and I asked her to repeat word for word what she said and she told me that was the first character question she had asked, then insisting on this '3+ year rule' saying she only puts people through that are 'bound for broadway'.

she needs to write to recruiting directly and clearly outline the exact conversation she had with the person doing her interview. this 3+ year role thing is not right and relaying the info that she was told is not overstepping any bounds. she can ask for clarification on what she was told.

I'd have her call 407-828-1736
it's the recruiting office. Just have her explain the situation!

Hey, has anyone ever/known someone who has ever been a performer on the Disney cruiseline? How does that work? I know on other cruiselines performers have duties just like the other crewmembers and I didn't know if it was the same for Disney. Also it says 10 month contracts on the auditions site. Has anyone had one of these contracts? That seems like a long time. But a fun time.

I'm just curious cause I saw a show on the travel channel about the Disney cruiseline and now there's an audition in my area. I don't know that I'd really want to do it but I just like to hear about things like this.

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???

awesome :]
it'll be great to meet you! but i think during the audition, if they like what they see in you, they will pull for face. cause I am hoping to be pulled maybe for snow white since everyone calls me that lol

It would be so cool if we both got what we wanted!!!!! and Im so crossing my fingers..because I SO want to be pulled for face for Iridessa...many people say that I look like her..and from seeing the other Iridessas in WDW and Disneyland...I should have a chance........but IDK.......

I talked to one of the cast service managers about it, because I thought it sounded like fun too. I don't know much of the details, but he told me that it was an extremely competitive audition and that your dancing and animating both have to be really great to have a shot, because all characters do everything. He sadly wasn't very helpful so that's about all I know on the subject. =\ Hope I helped some!

 

[rachaelfig]

No, that's helpful! Thanks!

Anyone going to the Chicago Audition?

FYI: you can't "go" for anything. Everyone auditions for the same thing... character performer (fur). Face, parade performer, etc. is not something you can audition for... you have to be hand selected for it.

Unless of course you're referring to the cruise line auditions, then you can go for specific things.
