On the morning of April 21st, exactly four weeks after my audition, I received an email with this heading.
It read as follows:
"Congratulations! You passed your recent Walt Disney World® Character Audition and will be invited to participate in a Character Performer Role in the Disney College Program!!"
Yay!!!
It went on to explain that my "Responsibilities may include: Portraying specific costumed character roles; working in hot, confining, heavy costumes with limited range of vision; communicating non-verbally to Guests; signing autographs and posing for photographs; and interacting with Guests outdoors and in dining establishments. Some participants may have the opportunity to perform in parade and/or puppeteer roles."
It did not give an specifics as to which character I would be "friends with" (this is the proper terminology I am told), but nonetheless I'm extremely excited.
Will update when I have more to report. In the meanwhile, have a magical day!
Congratulations! i know its very late, i just wondered if i could take a small amount of your time to ask you questions.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Amy and i am 17, turning 18 in October. i come from Wales which is situated in the United Kingdom. I have looked at the Disney College Program website and am very interested in the character performer role. I love acting, singing and dancing but i feel that this is the role i would love to portray everyday to all audiences. My questions are...
How can I audition to become a character performer at WDW if i am in the UK and not USA?
How do I apply?
As I need to gain my grades in college, I would do the Disney College Program in summer 2012... could i apply now?
Who do i get in contact with to talk about the preparations for auditioning and to talk about other ways i can audition?
i really would appreciate if you ould answer my questions, it would mean so much
Reply soon! Thank you. Amy
