I just came up with a question that is kind of bugging me, because I'm sure I've read the answer to it somewhere but I can't find it.
One of my top choices is Character Performer, and I plan on attending the audition in Austin on March 23rd. However, if I do my phone interview and everything, do I have to wait until after the auditions to hear anything? Like, could they offer me something else before the auditions even happen, or is me saying one of my top choices is character attendant basically setting me up for a "pended" status?
Part of this is impatience to just know if I got accepted or not, but part of it is also because I need to know before the second week in April because I need to renew the lease on my apartment, and if Character Performer will set back me knowing, I may have to think twice about putting it as a top choice.
Thanks for your help!
From what I understand the only situation you would be definitely pended for would be if you only chose Character Performer as your ONLY role choice.
People I know who have gotten character performer said they were offered another role (merch, attractions, whatever..) and they accepted that role first. Then they went to the auditions and if they passed they were offered the character performer role and were switched to that role instead. If they did not pass they did the program with the original role they were offered.
So I would still put it as your top choice, and as long as you have other roles you would be willing to do you should be okay. Just apply early enough that you would hopefully get an offer before you need to renew your lease!
