Character Performer Auditions

[QueenofPrideRock]

Thanks Brenna! I'll probably end up auditioning in Chicago so that helps.

I was toying with the idea of flying out to a less crowded city in hopes of less competition, but if they pull face in the bigger ones than hmmm haha...

Their decisions are for the auditions as a whole and not per city. Like they don't have to hire 10 from Chicago, 5 from Seattle, and 15 from Orlando.

It is more like they have a big list of what they need and they try to fill it the best they can with all of the auditions they have.

A less crowded city may mean a faster shorter audition day, though.

This isn't necessarily CP related but does anyone know if there are any character performer positions open for tap dancers? lol i'm highly trained and I think it'd be fun to dance at disney for a season or so after college or something

Here is the public listing. You can organize the list by talent (dancer) and location (WDW). This will generally tell you what type of dancers they need but as for ones like parade performer, etc, maybe you can call and ask?

These auditions are generally all done at WDW, although some have been in New York, so you may want to make sure they're looking for tappers before you head down there.

Sorry if this has come up, but does anyone know how tall the friends of the fairies are? Maybe it's just because I am so short, but they always seem pretty tall!

Tink's the shortest... I don't know the exact range (hopefully Joanna or someone will be along to post the correct numbers!) but I think she's like 5'0"-5'3"-ish. Her friends can go up to like 5'4" though, if I remember correctly...maybe even 5'5"??

Hope that helps a bit!

The only people in the parks that I remember tapping are the dapper dans... but you have to be male and a strong a cappella singer.

That's pretty close. Tink goes up to 5'0, 5'1 at the most. The other fairies are aprox 5'1-5'3/5'4 or so.

Thank you!(QueenofPrideRock too, of course! )

I'll be interested to hear what the dance/movement exercise is to this time around. Maybe "Celebrate You" by Corbin Bleu? That's my guess!

 

[Toffy]

I was thinking that too... what do they normally do? Do they ever dance to the actual parade music?

 

[DollfieDreams]

So this may seem like a slightly stupid question, but are they only taking CP for entertainment characters now? It seems now-adays if you arent CP you don't get much of a chance to do anything anymore. :/

At the moment, this statement is pretty accurate!

So you've spoken to a recruiter? You know you've gotten a role already??

The phone interviewer was the only person I've spoken too and she said the auditions would be the first week of Nov. for CP Entertainment Auditions.
