Character Performer auditions

[DisneyChick1984]

I thought I heard something like you could only audition for one of these spots once every 6 months...any truth to that?

I also read online that they take special consideration towards like people under 5'2" and people 6'0"-6'3"...I'm 5'4"...so I have less of a chance of getting hired don't I?

I have friends that are characters and they told me the dance routine you have to learn for the audition is pretty basic...and these are people with no dance background. I'm really hoping they're right!

That is correct. You can only audition once every 6 months. And yes, they look for people 5'0 and under, and 6'0 and up.

I found the dance routine to be pretty basic when I auditioned. And I also have friends who are not dancers pass the audition. Good luck!

Thanks! That actually makes me feel better that non-dancers are passing the auditions. I mean I pick up on choreography really quick, but I just hope I don't look dumb! Especially during the "charades" type part of the audition! haha

Don't worry, I'm sure you will do fine.

And you want to look silly, especially during the animation part.

actualy they have kicked up the requirments recently. the dancing is harder, and they are really looking for movers this time around. Because they are trying to get the right amount of people for block party which will have a massive cast.

Pfft. Cool with me. I pick up on that stuff pretty quick so I'm more worried about looking dumb during the animation part. hah
