Hey to all, like gator I am an former Vaulter (RIP), but I am glad to have another outlet for my HHN hysteria. This year will be my third year. I went to auditions for my first year back in '08 and had a blast with it. C_D and some of the other dinosaurs have answered and could probably answer your questions better than I can, but there is truly nothing to worry about. The only thing is to show up early on the first few auditions because the spots fill up fast, but that is just common sense anyway. And don't worry about size or whether you look scary. While I have seen C_D, yet never had the pleasure of formally meeting, I can say that he is a beast and very scary looking. Giant as well, as his name implies. But I have met some of the five foot nothing ladies that worked in the Chuckie house last year and they are very sweet looking, but looks can also be deceiving as I am sure that they would tear you a new one if you stepped into there house. I have the scars to prove it. As I am sure that people have different anxiety and shyness(if that's a word) issues when place in front of people, remember that the casting directors aren't scary, provided you don't touch there table as mentioned earlier in this thread , and they want you to do great. And if you do get hired to be a scareactor and you are still nervous, remember that once you are in costume, the guests are more afraid of you than you are of them. Quick side note, as for the pay, its minimum for the scareactors, for obvious reasons, and more for stilts, show performers, higher ups, for obvious reasons. But remember that you are there for a long time, non-peak:5ish 6ish 7ish-1ish 130ish and peak:5ish 6ish 7ish-3ish 330ish. And you only work 1hr and a half out of every 3. And you will sweat. Damn that eight ball of cocaine is wearing off, sleep time. See you all july 6th and best of luck to all newbies. As it has been said before, you need anything else at all, all you gotta do is PM. Night all!
