Students can be fantastic source of talent. Oftentimes the best place to look for students interested in being a mascot performer is a school theater class or drama club. Students in these groups will oftentimes have some acting experience and embrace the role with open arms.<\/p><p>If your school lacks a theater\/drama program or if you want to search for talent in all areas of the school, it might be worth holding a school-wide audition. One of our customer stories highlights the mascot story of the <a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/our-projects\/west-iron-county-wykon-mascot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Iron Public School District<\/a>. West Iron is a small town in the rural woods of Michigan\u2019s upper peninsula. Given the school district\u2019s small student body, they decided to hold a school-wide audition for students to perform in their new Wykon mascot. They announced the audition with posters around the school, as well as mentioning it over the morning and afternoon PA announcements. Heck, the auditions were even mentioned in a student made hype video:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0556e9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"0556e9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=1R_dSNwjkDw&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b957b52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b957b52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>At 02:24 the narrator mentions the upcoming audition.

Come graduation, that performer may be open to transitioning into performing in your mascot.<\/p><p>The nice thing about a mascot suit is that anyone can be inside them. For day-to-day mascot activities, you may be better off hiring someone with a basic acting background. If you want your mascot to do a cool stunt or dance routine at an event every once and awhile, hire a specialist performer for that event. This will give your normal everyday performer a break, and the crowd will be none the wiser!<\/p><p>Pairing your mascot with the right performer is a crucial step in maintaining both your mascot\u2019s identity and your brand\u2019s identity. Thankfully, there are many different places to find a mascot performer, and options for each level of budget and commitment. Students are a great source of fresh mascot performers, while local community colleges and theaters offer experienced performers looking for side gigs. Online communities and job postings are also great ways to find mascot performers for part-time or one-time gigs. Advanced talent is often found through talent agencies, and many of these performers have backgrounds in stunts, gymnastics, dance, and acting. No matter who you pick, just be sure they can fit in your mascot costume before their first event!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a89aef1 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a89aef1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-61bfc4d\" data-id=\"61bfc4d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-21673bb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"21673bb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5a1225d\" data-id=\"5a1225d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df315cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"df315cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Need a mascot costume for your performer?
