Character Performer Auditions

[MarinaAndCharlie]

Hey everyone! I just got back from the Olrando auditions! THey measured me at 5'1/2" Is that still in the special consideration catagory? It's a half inch over 5'...i hope it still is!

And, I did the main audition dance then was told to go into the waiting room. There, they called out some people's numbers (including mine) gave us a "next steps" paper, then told the people who had papers to leave. The people said that this doesn't mean anything, but of course I'm FREAKING OUT here about this whole paper business. Is it a bad thing that i got this paper then was told to leave?? Are my chances of being a character dratmatically slimmer now that I was told to leave so early on??!!

And so the waiting starts...

Did you do an animation portion or only dance?

I don't think it means anything negative. I got a paper too, but they asked me to stay for pictures. So...I think it only means that they didn't need more pictures and that they weren't considering you for the advanced dance. There are other people who have posted who weren't asked to stay but were still cast as a character. Don't worry!
How did the audition go? How many people showed up?
This waiting business sucks! Maybe that's why Disney does it--so the interns appreciate the offer more

You were there too??? I was hoping to see you there though...i saw domi108, and we were together...but it was so much FUN!!! and now, with what you just said, IM KINDA FREAKING OUT AS WELL!!!! But at the same time, I think the paper is good, because in my group, we were all good dancers (from what I saw), and we all got the papers.....so I don't think that is a bad thing though....

thanks everyone! yes, we all did animation too. the dance and the animation went together.

Yea i'm sorry i didn't get to see you Disneylover and Domi, I didn't know to find you! What were you wearing? I was the one who was in the bathroom when they called my number and had a bunch of people screaming my number lol.

Good, I feel a lot better that it's not a bad thing! Good luck to you all!

That is so awesome!! Way to go! When do you check in? Did they tell you any more information? Like what characters you might be? When did you audition?

 

[DisneyAfternoonKid]

Joanna - thanks for the congrats here and on the accepted board. You and Brenna have been such a wealth of info since I first started thinking about trying to be a character performer again. Prolly wouldnt have made it throught the process without all the help!!

Alindaloo - I don't know what height they measured me at but since I am about 5'2" in real life I'm just gonna assume I'm in the munk range for now. I haven't been able to officially accecpt yet since I was only notified by phone but I did talk to my recruiter and plan on doing June 15th. I really didn't get much info accept that they were extending an offer to be character performer for FA and I auditioned in Rochester!

Good luck to all that have auditions left and I feel for everyone still waiting!

Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you! Keep all of us updated on everything! You should start a blog or something so we can all keep up with you. haha.

Good luck and again, congrats!

 

[alindaloo]

Just got the email--didn't get performer. I am pretty bummed, but mostly because I have to keep waiting! I am sick of waiting...I just want to know what and when!
So, probably within 2 weeks for the final offer/rejection?

NO WAY!!! what a concidence!!!!!!!!! I was 24, I do remember standing in line at sign in and seeing you guys, because you were the only ones that were remotely close to me in height lol!! I can't believe we were in the same group! I was so flustered about almost missing the audition that I totally didn't get a chance to look at anyone!!

Let me know as soon as you hear something!

 

[timestep]

hey! I am sad I didn't get to see you guys at the audition. But I still had an AWESOME time. They measured me at 5'0" exactly so that was pretty exciting. I was bummed I didn't get pulled for the advanced dance though, since I thought I did pretty well on the dance. Ah well, I hope you guys had an AWESOME time.
Oh, btw I was number 31.

I'm sorry! We all should have met up! But, I don't really remember faces...what were you wearing?? And I don't know what my measurement was...I never got a chance to see it...

 

[timestep]

I just went ahead and asked about my height. I was wearing orange shorts, a white tee and my hair was in pig-tails. I am pretty sure I saw you!
