Question! I keep reading/hearing that at the auditions, you run through dance/animation several times -- are we expected to do a unique animation each time? Or is it just like, meet the character & eat something over and over for practice and it's okay to do the same movements?

 

[Dancer:)]

I've been wondering that same thing...

 

[Goofster18]

It's the same one, and they told us specifically not to change it because even though we are doing it the 2nd time, they may not have seen part of it the 1st time if they were reviewing the others around you. so animation, dance, same animation, same dance. 2 parts, 2 times in a row, same 2 things. Make sense kinda?
Have a Magical Day!!!

[Dancer:)]

Thanks Princess Ash! I'm super nervous but hoping I do well!!

 

[QueenofPrideRock]

They switched it up at Chicago - we learned a short dance consisting of two eight-counts, and they watched us do it across the floor in groups of 6. Then they made a cut! I didn't pass, which meant I didn't even get to show them my animations at all.

I mean, I REALLY messed up the dance. My nerves definitely got the best of me... but regardless, I was thrown off by the way they did it. Not at all what I was expecting from reading about other people's experiences here.

 

[Dancer:)]

Ok. Wow. WOW. Where to even begin.

So I got to my audition around 2. There were already like 50 girls there. I was thinking, hm..ok..Wow. Everyone's here early. We all signed in at 2:30 and started getting our photos taken and being measured. By some strange miracle I was number 2. The girl who was 1 was this amazing like perfect girl. She looked like Cinderella brought to life. She was trying out for a professional role. So then I waited..and waited...and waited..And they didn't finish checking people in until 3:45 or so. People were even showing up like at 3:40..I thought it was kinda ridiculous but maybe they had late planes or something? There were 130 altogether. It was very crowded!! So anyway. Then we did an improv piece, and then learned a dance that was six counts of eight. I thought it was very simple. So we practiced that a lot then were called in by groups of six the do the dance and improv each twice. Thankfully I was in the first group. The perfect girl that was Cinderella incarnate was asked to stay after. I didn't stay longer than my group so I'm not sure if they kept any college program girls :/ They spoke at the beg. and made it seem like the only role available to college program kids was character performer. No other ones in entertainment. So I guess I'll see. I can't wait to hear back!!!!

It was a really fun experience. albeit nerve wracking!

 

[Princess Ash]

Sorry to hear that Queen! It sounds so unusual!!!

Dancer I'm glad it went well! It must have been intimidating to be next to that girl...I understand.

Congrats holding it together with 130 people!

I was number 22! Two of your number 2s! Fate? HAHAHA.

 

[Dancer:)]

Yeah well, that girl was really good so if she gets a full time role she definitely deserves it! I just hope they looked at me too!! It looked like they couldn't take their eyes off her haha

but oh well. Now the hardest part will just be waiting!!

 

[Dancer:)]

also wow Queen of Pride Rock! that stinks! It sounds so weird compared to the other auditions :/

 

[Toffy]

WOW!!! Dang you guys had quite an interesting bach of auditions I must say!!!

QueenOfPrideRock, that's generally what they do for DLR auditions, so I'm wondering if they were trying it out or were being run by anyone from over there... I'm so sorry to hear it didn't go how you hoped, but hey I'm sure most us would've been seriously taken off guard as well dear

Dancer, did they really say they weren't doing face etc for the CP?! Because I know a lot of people who got pulled for face for CP at the Orlando audition... I wonder if they changed their minds haha
