Quote from: "jenson2003"Yes, look out for me. I am quite tall with ginger hair and thinking of wearing a blue tunic dress hopefully, I'm an awful dancer though but fingers crossed. It is just horrible knowing how one day can change everything when you want something so bad! x

Ha, I will look out for you! I am quite short with brown hair! And have no idea what to wear! I know exactly what you mean, I have been waiting for this 1 day for so long!! Where are you travelling from? X

good luck today!

Chrisf101 · July 16, 2012, 04:19:39 PM

Didn't get it :/
Got through the animation round but got let off at the dancing round. In fairness I was terrible at the dancing but feel a little hard done by seeing as they insist that it doesn't matter if you're not a great dance as you can still do meet and greet characters. Oh well!

disneyanniebelle · July 16, 2012, 05:15:04 PM

Aww don't worry! There is always next time! I'm auditioning tomorrow and getting really nervous about the dance round! I'm not a dancer but I don't have two left feet either! How many people do you reckon were there today?

Chrisf101 · July 16, 2012, 05:48:50 PM

Yeah, always next time!

I wouldn't be too nervous, I'm an absolute hopeless dancer.
There were A LOT of people there. Probably around 300-400. From the looks of it they seemed to be looking for mostly face characters and tall people, as pretty much all the guys (including me) seemed to get through. I'd probably have got it if I hadn't fluffed the dancing up! haha.

Good luck!!

Thank you!

Hey! I auditioned today and didn't get through either! I went out after animation which was unfortunate as I am a dancer but got told that I was too short for what they were looking for right now! Good luck tomorrow!! Just be yourself and it involves so much luck on the day with what characters they are looking for etc! But I am sure you will do really well! X

sorry to hear that you didnt get through! oh gosh i am about 5'6 so hopefully they will still be looking for taller people tomorrow! i should have come today! i am getting so worried now! thank you! x

Bee_26 · July 16, 2012, 08:23:21 PM

That was the height they were looking for today so you sound like you will be absolutely fine

I am about 5'1 so not that tall aha! I really wish you all the luck tomorrow! Try not to worry too much, its a really relaxed atmosphere in the room! All the casting people are really friendly!! X

Technically, yes. But it was paced so fast it was VERY hard to keep up with (well, for me anyway).

That's a shame you didn't get through either! When did they tell you that you were too short? I'd have loved to have found out exactly why I didn't get through. I'm more bummed by the fact that they were quite obviously looking for people in my height and yet I still didn't get through. At least if they wasn't looking for my height I'd be happy in the knowledge that I didn't get it due to something that can't be helped, my height.

To all of the people auditioning over the next few days: don't be worried! Like Bee_26 says, it's a pretty relaxed atmosphere!
