MY SUCCESSFUL DISNEY AUDITION | experience, tips + tricks

[@raypierce5818]

As a creative consultant for Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Entertainment, this is so meaningful for me. You are so incredible and it’s all about what they need on that day. I help create the audition requirements for specific calls such as Peter Pan & Wendy for my Tokyo projects and have spent so much time on the “other side of the table”. After the movement and animation cuts, I have to add in our specific strength tests I need to teach them to “fly”. I just have to say that I love your perspective on the process and you deserve so much!!

[@eileenaleo2492]

you wouldn't be human if you didn't have some doubt . . . but ALWAYS BELIEVE! Believe in yourself, believe in dreams, believe in magic, believe in Arendelle. I love you and am so proud of you for following the dream in your heart and your passion for all things Disney! "Just look up and reach to the sky . We all have the courage to fly!"

[@7729Rachael]

Eileen Toomey Thank you 😭💙💙💙 I have my 6th audition tomorrow and your video and your comment made me tear up.

[@anotherbobaenthusiast7343]

@@7729Rachael Where can I find somewhere to audition? I'm not able to find the princess section on the website.

“i am erin, you are not” eyes widen. if i’m not erin who am i? samantha?

[@samsandage9464]

wait I'm Samantha who are you?

[@laurenm7929]

Hahahaha this is so genius

[@emberly7378]

I know this video is a year old but I came back to watch it again and it’s something I really needed right now. I think I’ve actually worked with you and Elsa a few times (I’m photopass) but I’ve never actually talked to you. “I didn’t think I could be good enough to do something like this” really hit HARD. Your words put me to tears because I feel the exact same way you did and to see where you are now is truly inspiring.

[@knotsofast240]

What character are you hoping to "become friends" with?

[@rivalsgaming2711]

KnotSoFast I’d love to “become friends” with Rapunzel or Cinderella or maybe a villain if I’m to tall for a Disney princess

[@furrmalethefurchild1607]

It would be a DREAM to be friends with The Boss Boy himself! Or The Number 1 Donald Duck! Ooh! I'd be so happy to be pals with Pluto as well

[@lukadoncic4212]

Peter Pan! Always and forever of my Dream role! ❤️

[@myabrahler8994]

totally see you being friends with Rapunzel!

[@crimsonisland]

You’d make a great Aurora or Elsa. Congratulations and hope you’ll be achieving your dream soon.

[@AndreaSmith-kz9qz]

I just had my first successful audition on October 6th and I’m SO PUMPED! I feel you on the thinking you aren’t good enough to even be considered for the role, but when you make it, it really shocks you! Love this video and I’m so excited to finally understand the feeling of getting through the audition:)

[@tgltyty]

if you keep on believing , the dream that you dream can come true. Congratulations Erin, you definitely deserve it.

[@princessfaith925]

I saw you tweet about feeling good about this a few weeks ago and then delete it, and wanted to congratulate you but I didn't know if I could!! But either way, congratulations, and I can't wait to maybe see you in May!

[@racheldevlin9572]

Congratulations!! It takes a whole lot of courage to do what you’re doing. I’ve been keeping up with your journey for quite a while now, you are truly inspiring and very deserving of this. Wishing you good luck and pixie dust! ✨ Keep chasing after your dreams, never let them go! 😊❄️

[@tinkerbrittany]

Thank you so much for your advice and experience!!! I’m about to audition and you’ve really soothed my nerves!! You are amazing!

[@anotherbobaenthusiast7343]

Where can I audition? I see nothing on the website about any Disney Princesses.

[@HyphenDude]

Congrats so far on the audition, Erin! Prayers are with you as casting continues. Hopefully I will get to meet whomever you get to be friends with when I visit WDW next spring!

[@anaquariusfox]

Congrats lovely !!! These tips were great since I'm going to audition on Tuesday! and I love the puppies so much oh my goodness !!

[@FaithJess1]

This just made me cry!! I'm so happy & proud of you!!! You're so perfect for this role! You got this Erin!!!!!

[@ATW76]

Congratulations, Erin - I hope that this truly comes to pass! So excited for you! :) ATW

[@kaitlynschmidt1143]

It is a dream of mine to work and be involved with Disney!! My dad worked at Disney for over 15 years and had such an amazing experience. My dream is to be a character look alike as well:))

[@isabellewarren535]

[@gracefully_ever_after]

I feel the fear of my teeth not being straight enough. Thank you for sharing your experience and fears, it helps me feel more confident!

Omg Erin I’m so happy for you! You’re such an inspiration and I really look up to your determination and kind heart. Congratulations, and best of luck with the final steps!!! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do! ♥️

[@LemonPointSenior]

Congratulations, that must have been such a stressful and exciting day!!! So this is more out of curiosity, but for lookalike roles they're obviously just looking at your face, not your hair, so when you went to costuming to get fitted for possible friends that you could hang out with, did the casting directors have you put wigs on too? or just the dresses/outfits?

[@MelissaJMJ]

Praying for much success!

[@prisbug]

Congratulations! I have an audition on about a week! I’m very very excited and very nervous. I feel i am very short, like that they would not like me at all! But I’m still going to go I think it would be an amazing experience, and if I won’t make it this time I’ll try another time!.

[@lysmolinaro4628]

SOSOSOS excited and happy for u !!

[@carliefelps6888]

i’m so excited for you!!

[@ginamarie33]

Sending all the good vibes girl!! Good luck ❤️

[@bricunningham8225]

I’m a sophomore in high school and this is literally my biggest dream. I doubt myself too like you did. I’m always scared that when I do get to finally audition when I’m 18 that they will have some reason to cut me. Some days I think positive and I’m so excited and I think I got this! But other days I’m nervous and I think that I might weigh too much or I might not look like a character and I’m not even old enough to audition yet. I know that I can do it because I have been watching these audition videos forever and I literally know everything about the audition process and everything about being a character look alike. I can’t wait to audition and I know I can get the job I just need to be confident when I’m 18

[@ErinToomey]

this is when i started dreaming of being a performer, too. it's a rollercoaster that's for sure, but never stop believing in yourself. it might not happen the first time you audition (it didn't for me), but that absolutely does not mean you can't become a performer. miracles happen, girlie, sometimes they just take a little time :)

[@bricunningham8225]

Erin Toomey thank you! That means so much!💕 Congrats on your dreams coming true!

[@Lalabooey]

can you make a video talking about your experience moving to florida and the pros and cons? i’m planning on moving there soon and i would love to hear about your experience moving there

[@ErinToomey]

absolutely, thanks for the suggestion!! good luck with your move :)

[@khloesimmons797]

Wish you Luck. This was so Helpful!!!

[@fiilmstar]

For those of you who don't know... she's friends with Elsa. :)

[@CathyXO]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 congrats so cool it would be such a dream to perform for Disney!

[@zuzithesushi5485]

Wait I thought they aren’t allowed to say and share it on social media, apparently you can get in trouble for it ;-;

[@rivalsgaming2711]

Yes you can get into big trouble if you share it on social media, you can’t tell family or friends or anyone what character your gonna be because it ruins the magic, your not allowed to tell anyone what you was up too, your not allowed to speak about Disney out of work and your not allowed to talk about anything outside of Disney when working, they are very strict with these rules

[@rocknrollsuicidez1572]

Congratulations, kinda guessed that was your ongoing ambition Best of luck with final selection Erin

[@ItsVictoriaDaisy]

When I grow up I want to work at Disney and these are great tips and tricks

[@footballgod8714]

Im auditioning on saturday

SwaggyDP I’m auditioning on Sunday

[@footballgod8714]

@RealRayyy i passed

[@BiteytheVillain]

Congratulations Erin!!! You're going to be great friends with a lot of princesses! :) I'm attending an audition this weekend and I'm sooo nervous about it. It's general casting for Characters/Star Wars! The biggest thing I'm worried about is my hair and how that might send the wrong impression- I've cut it pretty short and buzzed the sides :( Is that a big red flag immediately?

[@Melissy101]

Do you know what the maximum size is for the Disney princesses dresses? I’ve auditioned a couple times and feel like I never get picked cuz of my weight. I’m a bit insecure about it! :/ but I’m going to keep trying!!

[@650julian]

You should do hunting videos about pins and I really like your pin collection now I collect pins now

[@elizabethc4225]

I turn 17 in a few days and I just keep thinking one year until my first Disney audition haha. This is my dream and has been since I was a freshman I think about it almost everyday. I’ve been following you for awhile and I’m so happy for you that your dream came true! It’s amazing to know that it actually possible. I always have doubts like you said I always think my eyes are too small or nose is too big. I want to ask you about how you stayed positive and kept going? And also in your opinion if they are only looking at appearance when they make cuts or do they consider personality and how you would be as a performer as well? I feel like a lot of people say it’s solely appearance based. Sorry so many questions!! It drives me crazy thinking about it sometimes. But congrats this is amazing :)

[@fiilmstar]

Good luck!!!!!!

[@cassidypatz]

I'm so so happy for you, Erin! You are so deserving of wonderful opportunities like this. Just a quick question: how much makeup, if any, did you wear to the audition? Thank you so much for being such a positive inspiration!

[@ErinToomey]

Cassidy Patz hi!!! Thank you so much for the kind words 😊 I have A LOT of freckles so I did a full coverage foundation and a simple eye look, lots of liner and mascara to make my eyes pop!! Nothing too crazy, but enough to cover imperfections and showcase my features 😊

[@camillewoods7416]

@@ErinToomey did you do winged liner and wear bronzer or did you try and keep your skin looking as fair as possible for the roll? Can you do an audition makeup video? Sorry for so many questions I'm just finally of age to start auditioning, so I am continuing (and have for the past 8 years lol) researching everything out there!!

[@ErinToomey]

@@camillewoods7416 i did a little wing and wore blush, bronzer, highlight (everything i usually do). i'll try to do an audition makeup video that's a great idea, thank you!

[@maddiegrace9206]

CONGRATS!! This is my dream!! I have an audition coming up in a month and I am super nervous! I was wondering what the had you do as far as animation and dances. Was the animation strictly movements? or did the want you to talk? What did you choose to do? Etc. Thank you so much, and congrats again!!

[@ollie6412]

2 years later did you make it??

[@Teletran35]

Goodluck in the future

[@kdevo_]

Hello! Loved your video! I am interested in knowing more about the differences between the character performer and the look-alike auditions. Are look alikes the princess and characters the costumes? Also congratulations!!

[@kdevo_]

And also how close were all your auditions? Did you do them all within a year or 2?

[@BrendanHughesIE]

do you have to learn the script they give you at the audition

[@avast47]

oml I watched this whole thing thinking that this was for DisneyOnIce lol. I was so confused before I realized I was just being dumb

[@chloerogers9488]

How long did it take them to get back to you? The anticipation is killing meeee

[@kermitthedog304]

Clicked on the video because we have the same last name!

[@makenzeybrazie2014]

So for auditions is it required to have prior acting/ pageants/ modeling or anything of the sort? also what should I wear? and how should I do the resume and should I even do this? im 18 and I have no resume! I am so nervous and so excited!

[@sophiaterranova3540]

Makenzey Brazie nope! You should wear something athletic, and look up resumes for people without past jobs!

[@its_autumnxx8952]

Sending up prayers for ya!Hoping to see you make friends with an icy icon (;

[@jessicabuffa3626]

Congratulations! I have my audition on October 1st and this video helped me so much and has given me a lot of good tips. Do you have to sign up for the audition before you go or do you just show up?

[@bertiegans]

Sweet! Which character do you think they might want you to be working with?

[@miyamazyck9037]

Just curious when you pass the audition do they help you travel down to Florida, like do they cover cost and moving of travel?

[@erinbaxter444]

Im Erin too!

[@averyfowler1553]

Erin Toomey, what do you think about KidsCasting?

[@kmcrew9951]

Is it true if you are accepted (and already accepted as part of the DCP), that no matter what - that they first start you as a ‘fur’ character or can you be told immediately that you are a face character (before starting your DCP)? I’ve read contradicting answers to this question. Thank you SO MUCH in advance!!

[@camillewoods7416]

Hey! Was this a CM private audition or was it one open to the public?

[@dancingangel95]

How long did the cruise line auditions take the full way through

[@Teletran35]

My freinds daughter is a character performer.I could see you as Merida

[@markheying2830]

I think that you may be any of the following 5 Characters. 1: Alice 2: Mary Poppins 3: Rapunzel 4: Princess Aurora 5: Jasmine

[@AnettYukkine]

Bruh jasmine? 🤦‍♀️

[@jant4385]

I've been think Elsa since I saw a video where she was driving to Disney with a friend.

[@atchayapriyaamirthalingam4941]

when you where dancing were the other girls there watching?

[@anotherbobaenthusiast7343]

yep! they all stand in a line on the wall and watch you. unless all of you guys are dancing at the same time

[@sandiammons99]

If you blogged more, I know you would make it big time! You are so beautiful and real. Keep it up,things will happen for you I know it.

[@emily4096]

Im Irish so would that go against me??

[@nbtlv5090]

So...did you get the job? And if so, who were you friends with? 😊

[@BraeDug]

Good Luck

[@kaylastover643]

What was the dance?

[@melols]

What is Disney college program? Someone explain me pleaseeee

[@kaitlynschmidt1143]

Ana Rita Vanzeller So it is a experience where you and others in college get to work at Disney with something similar to what you are studying, whether that is food, merchandise, etc. Both of my parents did it and loved it!! I am planning on doing it too.

[@vixikie]

But on your Instagram you already works at the park. Was this an audition for the parades or something? I'm confused 😂

[@jant4385]

She works as a cast member, I think Animal Kingdom. She wants to be a Disney Princess.

[@elizabethsmith3989]

What is a good age to audition

[@anotherbobaenthusiast7343]

you have to be 18 or older. It's whenever they have an opening or whenever you feel like you're ready

[@camillewoods7416]

Was this audition the disney look-a-like posted for Elsa? I remember seeing that one posted on the website. Also, if it was, did they fit for other characters besides the queen or exclusively her? I am just wondering because I saw that posted, but I have brown hair and don't necessarily look exactly like Elsa, so I was wondering if you should go anyways and If they ended up fitting for multiple other characters not otherwise stated on the website.

[@ErinToomey]

if you think you qualify (meet the height requirements, etc. [use your best judgement lol]) for an audition, I recommend taking the chance and going!!

[@blakelyricco8549]

Any news or can you not say???

[@brycenozaki4472]

I wish I can audition to be a face character but I know that they won’t want an asian 5”9 female. 😔😔

[@wassupmypeeps69]

Best of luck...you have never-ending ambition and you will reach your goals.
