*I'm going to apologize in advance for the large amount of questions I have LOL*
Hello,
I'm new to the forums and I have some questions!
First off I am just shy of 18 days away from the DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM!!!!!(Spring Advantage Quarter 2013). WHOOOHOOOOOOO!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!
Second, I am currently an Attractions Cast member. Being a Musical Theatre Major my first choice was Character Performer. I auditioned in Chicago on October 21, 2012 and made it all the way to the final round out of 300 people who auditioned. I ended up not getting accepted into character sadly, I really wasn't that upset cause I knew that even if you got to the final round, that didn't necessarily mean that you got character.
But here's the thing...they said that you had to be available within 6 months in order to be considered. Doing the Spring Advantage Quarter (my college runs on trimesters) My check in date was not scheduled until April 8th, 2013. Besides my height, could this have been another reason for me not getting the role??
I found out that there is another audition in Chicago today at like 11 a.m so my Dad and I called the casting center twice and asked if I should still go. And we ended up getting two different answers. One saying "just go for it and tell them that you are in the College Program" and another one saying "no, your attractions and that is that."
We decided to just go on and go earlier today and talk to them and see what happens. I know that this audition was only 5 months after my last one but nothing beats failure but a trier, you know.
I mean I am very blessed to be in Attractions but I have DREAMED of entertaining people at WDW, ever since my first time seeing Fantasmic! and putting on tiny performances of the nighttime spectacular for my family at the age of 10 (I'm 20 now). It's in my blood!
Also I wanted to know, is it possible to audition for a character during your program? I have heard that they have "hush hush" auditions for CP's every now and then. (Sorry if this was asked before).
Thank you all sooo much for your time and once again sorry for the bucket load of questions! LOL
P.S: I am 5'11 (close to 6 feet I think) just for fun, does anybody know what character I could be friends with? I was told Tigger....Goofy maybe??!
"Have a Magical Day!"
