I have no intentions of ever auditioning, yet I find all these videos very interesting! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@OakesPrincess]

and thank you so much for watching and your comment really was appreciated! 🤗

[@madilynkhoury7531]

I don't like that you feel the need to apologize for your appearance. We all love your videos and think you're beautiful no matter what! XOXO

[@OakesPrincess]

I really need to start listening to you guys. I wrote above on how I don't get "princess ready" anymore because of "this that and the other." I watch "Beauty KZbinrs" and I just can't keep up with all the primping these days.

[@OakesPrincess]

I guess I feel like I'm supposed to keep up?

[@OakesPrincess]

I have gotten people commenting on my "makeup flaws" too..lol I guess I try to let people know in advance, "look, I know my hair is greasy or this, that, the other"..

[@cassie3369]

+Jennifer Oakes girl don't even worry about it... You're a busy momma who doesn't have time for that! You're awesome and I love your vids!

[@carolynpitt2926]

I love your videos!!!!! You are such an inspiration!

[@OakesPrincess]

Carolyn, you made my night! 💗

[@Susannah.N]

Thanks for the advice! I love you videos! Don't apologize, you look beautiful! And I love your hair!

[@sophiasephora15]

Geez, Jennifer! You look absolutely beautiful :) Still the prettiest Jasmine in my opinion :) I hope to audition for a face role sometime soon, I'm not sure which character I could do haha or if I even resemble a princess type at all, but who knows, it'll be a great learning experience anyway! Love your videos so much!

[@OakesPrincess]

thank you, I am realizing I need to stop apologizing on my appearance because this is the 3rd video people have told me not to stress about not getting all beautified with hair did, eye liner, etc..if working in Disney entertainment is something you want, I hope these videos help you achieve it. 💕

[@disneyhogwarts8322]

+Sophia Rivera OOh if thats you in the picture you look a lot like Elsa or if you did a fairy you look like vidia!

[@caroline_gm]

"Bummy housewife appearance"?!? Her *just woke up* is my *prom ready* lol!

[@OakesPrincess]

thanks for making me feel better. I think I still just keep remembering how I used to get "princess ready" and now I can't/don't. I watch a lot of beauty KZbinrs and I just can't keep up with the hair, the contoured cheeks and everything else. I do have light makeup on though! and decent lighting! 😂😂💕

[@elisewatson6288]

I really appreciate these videos! I'm planning to audition sometime in fall and your videos are a huge help and inspiration thank you so much!

[@karinadelagarza4068]

Wow!! You would never think there is jealousy behind the scenes! Like I told my nephew, "Disney is a happy place." Lol!!! I guess it's just like every other job!! Your going to run into people like that everywhere! As a teacher, you'd be surprised at all the crazy things I used to deal with at my old school!!! Thank God I work at a place where there is not so much back stabbing and jealousy!! We are one big happy family!!! I'm lucky and cherish each moment!! Thank you for sharing your experiences! And yes, the older we get the wiser! I've learned to stay quiet and not share a lot of information at work. Unless, I really really really trust the person!!! :)

[@LauraIngrid]

Auditioning for Disneyland Paris in a few weeks! Terrified, so I'm watching all your videos and scouring KZbin for others as well

[@mollyradtke7353]

I'm only 12 but I love your videos and I have been planing: money, apartments, roommate situation, college, full time-part time- or even seasonal, and i have even planned a back up all because of your videos, keep up your videos and you will continue inspiring girls(and boys alike) all around the world. One more really cool thing, I was looking a Google (yes for my future) and I saw tips for auditions, and it said to watch your videos for helpful inside tips. Final thing, I am a princess for my dance studios birthday party's, so I would like to know how you put you hair in the wig cap. Thanks if you can't that's great, but you inspire me any way!

[@hannahcarlisle8205]

I'm 5 feet am I too short to be Wendy or a fairy?

[@OakesPrincess]

Ooooo.. just did a height related video! check it out if you can: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHOXh3mket6Lhac --I don't know that it answers this specific question, but it does deal w/being on the short side. To be honest, I've never met a Wendy who was 5', but that doesn't mean its impossible. I hope you're cast! xo

[@hannahcarlisle8205]

Thanks! I'm hoping that I will grow a little bit taller since I'm only 16 but even if I stay really short I will still audition when I'm 18:)

[@elizacragun3982]

This doesn't really apply to the video. But I've been really curious to know if you have any say in the princess you get? And if you could be multiple princesses at once? Thanks! Love your videos!!!

[@whatdoyousuppose]

I know a girl who is "friends with" both Anna and Jasmine at one of the Disney Parks (if you catch my lingo here), so in regards to your second question it's definitely possible.

[@elizacragun3982]

+DoctorWhoBAMF ok thanks! 😊 (and yes I got it)

+Eliza Cragun you can definitely be more than one especially if you have the "look.." one of my favorite performers at disneyland is merida, rapunzel, anna and ariel :) i also know that if you are cast as alice you will most likely play wendy and vice versa

[@YankessLove13]

You can definitely play multiple as casting see fit but you don't have any say in the character(s) you portray as if you get cast it's up to them who you look like and who you can pull off

[@kathills5248]

How old were you when you auditioned? Ps. I really like your videos

[@rachelfisher1276]

How strict are the about teeth? My teeth are not horrible or even bad at all but they aren't perfect either!

to anyone who sees this... if i'm about 5'2 and a half should i try to go to auditions for girls that are 5'3 or try to wait for auditions for shorter heights?

[@madilovezyooh]

I mean your just an inch shorter, maybe if you shine in the auction they won't notice that(:

[@disneyhogwarts8322]

Do you have to smile with your teeth to be a princess? Just curious......?????

[@OakesPrincess]

I'm 99.9% certain you'll have to smile with your teeth. I had braces in high school and about 2 years before I auditioned I had an underbite corrected. 💗

[@nickiponce9846]

this is an old video but i have a burning question that i can't find the answer to anywhere!! Q: Women that are cast as character look-a-like princesses, like you, who do meet and greets; do they also get to be on the parade floats, waving to the audience? And do they also get to perform at the shows that are at Cinderella's castle at Magic Kingdom?? Please answer this question for me, I have been looking for an answer for ages!!

[@guateversu6133]

Yes, she actually said being in a parade was her favorite part.

[@highland1fan]

Do I have to have any sort of experience in acting to audition? Thank you!

[@hannahcarlisle8205]

Amanda Marie nope

[@sabalvasan3796]

I'm Indian and I kind of want to play mulan I feel like that the princess u match but I look more like pochohontas prob not spelling it didn't jasmin and Esmeralda and I forgot her name on Atlantis lol but could I still have a chance to play mulan like I said we match the personality like 100% but kinda the look could I still try

[@disneyhogwarts8322]

+Sabal Vasan Try pocahontas, jasmine, esmerelda, and moana who is coming out in november....and the girl who is in atlantis is Kida.

[@OakesPrincess]

I think everyone should audition. Prepare as best you can, then give yourself a chance, have an open heart and an open hand..

[@kennedyr1399]

Idk if this is the same for everyone else or not but the last few minutes of the video is just a black screen? I hope nothing's wrong with my phone lol

[@cassie3369]

Yeah I'm confused about that lol

[@disneyhogwarts8322]

LOL. It's not about who's the fairest of them all. XD

[@OakesPrincess]

😂😂
