Audition again?

[should-be-BELLE]

Hello everyone. I recently auditioned for a character performer for the fall 08 CP. I'm a former dancer and did well at the audition except due to my 5'3" status..was not offered a role. We were warned at the beginning of the audition that they were stacked on performers, and my height range is a common one.

But due to timing conflicts, I am planning on participating in the spring 09 CP instead. I would love to be a character however, I'll be going irregardless. But Is it even worth auditioning again? Are they still gonna be stacked on performers? i don't need the hard time of doing well at the audition only to not get a role over my height which I have no control over.

Thanks!

Ya know what? Go! Seriously. What have you got to lose? If you don't get it, think about a plan B so you can go somewhere if you don't get entertainment. I told them back when I worked for the company, that if I didn't get Ent. I would go for Attractions. Think about it, the great thing is there are SO many roles available. Maybe think about being a Character Attendant?

Go for it. All they can tell you is no. You can maybe ask at the very beginging how many they are looking for of your height! Good Luck.

I have the same problem you have. But I keep on auditioning. I know I will make it someday. Good luck!

Yeah i've auditioned 3 times, and passed every one, except I've been put into the 'character pool', and I feel like im never gonna get into entertainment, cause Disney likes to hire too many CP's, cause they are cheap labor.

It's usually not the CPs, but probably because there are a lot of people your height. There really aren't THAT many CP characters. Are you going to the Equity or Disney auditions ? Equity would probably give you more opportunity.

I didn't think fur character auditions were "equity" performers. I do know that performers (singers, actors, stuntmen, etc.) are.

Well, the character pool is better than not being selected. I hope that they pull you out of it soon and into the world of being friends with some characters.

Best of luck! :sohappy:

thanks! now about these equity things..I am already a current cast member, so what does that mean for me exactly?

 

[WDWKat26]

Any Cast Member can audition for equity.

At least you passed! I've auditioned 4 times, and didn't pass any of them.
