That's because from what _I've_ heard, the judges are former disney face characters that are bitter that they are too old to do the job anymore.Quote:

Cool info thanks so much :) Sorry if I ask you so many questions, I'm just so interested in all of this! Your so lucky! What do you mean 4 different roles for the CP though? Oh and about the it's an exception for the Orlando audition, so if you audition there for Disneyworld they will personally tell you there? Oh and if they email you, can they tell you that you've made it for more then one role?Quote:

Yeah, usually they will tell people at the Orlando audition that they passed/didn't pass the audition. As for the email, no. The email only states that you did pass the audition, or you didn't pass but are being considered for other roles (if you picked other roles). You don't find out the role you got until the letter arrives.
Got it :) That sounds like so much fun. You're getting so much great experience in everything at the park. I had no idea, thanks for sharing the info! I live in California, but I have a plan for when I'm 18. I'd really prefer to work at WDW. I've done some research haha.Quote:

I'm sorry. You should keep trying! That is, if it's something you'd like to do. I know that that's something i'd just LOVE to do.Quote:

And do you know a lot about the process of the audition?
I really am sorry for asking you all these questions :P
Oh I definitely will keep on auditioning (it's my dream to be a performer).Quote:

Yeah, I know the process for the CP audition. There are 2 parts- dance and animation. For animation, they give you an example to act out (it's like charades). Then for the dance part, they teach a routine and you perform it in small groups. Some auditions may pull for face (not all audition locations do). Some people may get called back for a second dance round. That's pretty much it.
Good! I hope you get cast for what you'd like to do!Quote:

Ah it sounds like so much! But animation just sounds so nerve racking to me. As I earlier talked about with someone here, It's nerve racking with judges watching you and judging you on the animation, as it won't be nerve racking if you were in the parks because to the kids and everyone you are that character. and they're not going to judge you. But oh well, I'm willing!
So do you need to schedule an interview before you go to a WDW audition? I got this off a disney audition website. "Interested candidates should contact the Disney Jobline at (407) 828-1000 to schedule an interview. Qualified candidates will be invited to attend an audition." I'm hearing different things everywhere. Oh, this is so confusing!
I hope someone can clear this up for me :P
For the CP, they prefer that you do the interview before the audition.Quote:
