I just recently auditioned in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this past Saturday 10/8/11. It was an awesome experience! There were about 95 of us cramped into a small room. We all sat down and the casting director and choreographer talked to us about the audition process. The two ladies were super nice and helpful towards any questions we had. They told us that everyone would start out as fur characters and to not expect to get a face character or dance position right away because very few cp's get them since we are down there for such a short amount of time. We then filled out an application asking basic information and got into a line. We were given a number and our photo and height were taken. I was number 53 and my height was 4'll (perfect mouse height) We were told it would take 2-3 weeks to find out. I know some other groups were told that only 150 people would make it out of 1500-2000.
We started out learning a 6-8 8 count dance that consisted of a few technical dance steps that could be confusing if you have not danced before other than that it was step claps and jumps. Just smile. We learned the dance and practiced for about 40 minutes. We then began to practice animation which was "a day at the beach" and the ladies gave us a few pointers to help us out. Auditions went by groups of 4 so I had a wait. When we went in the room, we danced twice and the choreographer did it with us. Then we did animation for about a minute. Simple as pie :)
Counting down the days to get out of Ohio.
So, even though I also got accepted, I'm going to follow your blog...I think we are going to have very different experinces! I am glad that we are both Disney Fanatics!! This is going to be a bigger adventure than France was!!
