Hi! I was wondering if you were asked about your availability or schedule at all at your audition? I want to audition but my schedule is kind of strange since I am in college

Thank you so much for this helpful video! So grateful for your transparency and experienced insight

Any tips for someone starting a super hero company?

I would love to see videos for any other character shoes you make! 🫶

what happened to your disney videos? did disney ask to take them down?

Ash❤ Thank you for sharing your Disney journey! As a person who is aspiring to become a character performer I really appreciate your videos. love how you loved what you did 💖

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience and congrats on working toward your masters. I would love to see future diy crafty videos and also a best audition makeup video. 💗

I was just hired as a full time character performer this week!!! Thank you for all the info! ❤️

I know it’s off-topic but it’s nice to see a fellow Rhode Islander here.

Quick question! I worked for a character company as well, did you put it on your resume? I’m just wondering if the copyright infringement prohibits or helps girls from getting cast!

Can we get by with that heat with no fans or is it hard? Also are all character suits Velcro? I heard Gideon has one and someone almost had a panick attack due to it.

hi! super informative video, i had a quick question about how disney measures the performers. i've seen other videos where people have mentioned that disney typically measures you as shorter than you really are, and that's like you're "disney height". so if i'm 5 ft 3.5 in., would you be able to ballpark guess what my "disney height" would be? i've seen others say it just takes you down by like half an inch, so i would be 5'3 maybe?

I have an audition for my DCP extension at 9am EST. I did a little research and I feel like I'm doing great! It also helps that I'm in the 5'8 range and that I believe my favorite is in that range. This feels like I'm on other world right now.

Very helpful. Could I get a copy of the performance guide?

I have a audition at for Disney so I hope this works thanks

This video was super helpful! I’ve been auditioning for a while for sculpted characters and haven’t landed a role yet. I will definitely keep trying!! My hips are a bit wide, and I’m wondering if this is a reason why I haven’t been cast. 😔

Hello! I absolutely love your videos and wanted to let you know that I recently tagged you in the party princess tag 👑💜 I hope you get to do the tag, it’s a fun way for all of us party princesses to get to know each other and get involved in the party princess community :) have a wonderful day!!

Hi I know this is super late but I really have a question I think you could help with. I'm getting my hair cut soon and I'm going to try bangs, kind of a less thick version of Anna's. Will I have to pin them back for the audition? Did any of the performers at your audition who moved on to the last round have bangs? Oddly specific, but I really want to put my best foot forward. Thanks!

What were the gloves of the penguin costume like, and what was it like to wear the costume overall? The gloves look like they’re hard to sign autographs in. Also, how does Disney manage a guest interaction so it doesn’t last too long?

thank you so much for this!

watching this before my first audition!! thank you so much for all the advice💕

I start my character training in 10 days!! these videos are great and very helpful!

Hi! I’m curious about the audition process. I got back from a fur performer audition, and didn’t get cut until we finished the first choreography portion. I stayed for the measurement, animation, and the easy part of the dance. Does that mean I won’t get the role or do I still have a chance?

Could you share your new projects, what are you focusing on right note in this part of your life

Question I have would be Are all the fur characters mainly girls? Course tall ones say goofy are males for sure but I heard most characters say Mickey Donald daisy and what not are all female 🤣 (was at Disneyland paris in June and we dined at a character dining place and Daisy Duck was all over me a bit much throughout the night and my friends were scaring me saying it could have been a bloke 🤣🤣😅😅) enjoyed the Q&A btw

Hi Ashley, were there actually any other unusual incidents while you were in the park as the character other than the stories you've already shared? Is it true that all costume pieces have a barcode that you have to scan when picking up and returning the costume? (To make sure all parts from the costume/so the entire costume was returned?) what is the deal with breaks anyway how do you cool down? (are there fans or other possibilities) how much time do you have to go back to work? do you change completely? (So the complete costume off or only the head? (Especially with the furry characters I would be very interested in this!) Maybe you can comment on this in a new video? Kind regards Katharina

I know I'm So late, but this was incredibly helpful! I submitted a video last month for a first audition just for fun, and now I have a video callback 😯. I am a life-long disney-fan, but my parents thought it was weird for anyone above child to like that sort of thing; I was offered a straight-to-improv audition when I was 16 (a woman I babysat for apparently had some sort of in, especially as I have the name of a Disney Princess who was 16 herself) but my step-mother said no (She happened to be more evil than Disney could legally show XD) I've only been to Disney world a few times, all but 1 with my grandfather whom I took care of through cancer in my adulthood; he picked my name from Disney, and now I feel that my next trip will be the only way I can say goodbye. My step-mother kicked me out the day after he passed, keeping me from the funeral and effectively preventing me from claiming any will, as I was forced to move very quickly. This inability to have any sort of closure has really set me back... And, not that I usually let this hinder me much, but I do have numerous diagnosed physical and mental disorders 😅 You never intended this video to mean anything more than the base of what you presented, I am sure, but for me... This increases my chances of being able to finally live life for myself and my own future.💖

lmao how do they do the kissing noise ?

A question I have, how do the fur characters make the kissy sounds? Is that the only sound they are allowed to make :)

Omg this is awesome! Even as an adult the character performers make it so special. I always love seeing chip n dale. It’s so cool you had that job. Thanks for helping make the magic. Are fur characters typically more so girls?

i hope to see ur channel grow !! ur so sweet and this is really informative and helpful, you explained it really clearly

Thank you for sharing your experience. Loved the video. Hope to see more. 💗

thank you so much again for the video!! I have another question! can you rank every single fur and face character costume you’ve worn in terms of vision, comfort, ease of putting on, how hot it was, etc. Can you also describe how some of the fur character costumes worked too? Also! can you please do the voice for your face characters!! it’s always so cool to see performers switch into their character accents!!

how was the experience saw special person for you in the meet time?

have you ever taken a picture breaking a character?

Thus is so useful! Would I be able to buy the performer guide by chance?

Hi dear Ashley, were there actually any other unusual/or unpleasant incidents while you were out in the park as a character besides the stories you already told? (I once heard that a female performer said that mostly male adults would make inappropriate remarks (hugging the character, pressing the costume and then saying "there's a woman in there" in front of the kids). Is it true that all costume parts have a barcode that you have to scan when picking up and returning the costume? Maybe you can address these issues in a future video?

Hello, thank you very much for letting me/us participate in this great topic U tell us so much from your own experiences! (I've always wanted to work as a character performer myself, but the next Disneyland in Paris is too far away... 😢) May I ask you a few more questions about Chip and Dale? (Are one of my absolute favorite characters) how exactly do you put on this costume? Do you generally get help putting on the costumes or do you always have to do it alone? Have you ever felt sick in the costume because it was too hot or because of another thing and you had to get out quickly? Please be sure to continue with this topic on your channel! I'm so super happy to have discovered you Subscribe in any case!

please do more videos about character performing!!! really enjoyed it! :) do you have any funny stories like wardrobe malfunctions with fur characters or even visibility problems? always wondered how the character performers see out of the costumes! or maybe any awkward moments with guests too like having to break character??
