above, here are some tips we would add:<\/p><ol><li>Be confident! Believe in yourself and your ability to portray the character effectively. Confidence can make your performance more engaging and motivate those around you.<\/li><li>Research your mascot in order to understand the character you&#8217;ll be portraying. Learn about its personality, mannerisms, and any specific actions or poses associated with it. Look up the history of your mascot. After all, the more you know, the better you can embody the character\u2019s spirit and personality.<\/li><li>If your mascot is new to the world, be prepared to engage in character development. Create a backstory or persona for your character. Knowing who your mascot is beyond the costume can help you stay in character and make your performance more convincing.<\/li><li>Be open to feedback. If you don&#8217;t make it on your first try, ask for feedback and use it to improve for the next audition.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa157f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aa157f8\" 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<h3><em><strong>What can I do in my free time to become a better mascot performer?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3><ol><li>Get yourself in shape. Being a mascot becomes infinitely easier when you have the strength and endurance to keep up the show. Costumes are often cumbersome and heavy.<\/li><li>Get involved in theater or take some classes to enhance your acting ability. Understand that when you are taking on the role of a mascot, you are taking on the role of an actor. Thankfully, you don\u2019t need to speak or sing as a mascot, so you can really focus your acting on expressionism and character building.<\/li><li>Strengthen your support network. Build relationships with those currently managing and directing your mascot. Look to those around you for mascot handler candidates, and if your mascot is part of a school, get to know the members of your school\u2019s dance and cheer teams, as well as your coaching staff and school administration. Building relationships early improves communication and will open up new opportunities for you.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c3e2de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c3e2de\" 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<h3><em><strong>As a first-time mascot, what kind of stunts should I do?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3><p>Whatever stunts you\u2019re comfortable doing, and if that means no stunts at all, that is totally a-ok! We understand that you have probably seen hundreds and hundreds of videos of mascots doing insane dunks, flips, tricks, and high-flying acrobatics. These stunts are certainly impressive, but they are done by trained professionals. Nobody should reasonably expect you to be able to do these sorts of stunts immediately or on a regular basis. Never feel pressured to do something you don\u2019t feel 100% safe doing. If you do have a background in something that will aid you in pulling off stunts, remember to practice, practice, and practice again! Remember that your mobility and vision in a mascot suit will be severely limited, so be sure to practice with the mascot costume off to start, and then on when you feel confident in your abilities.<\/p><p>Outside of stunts, dancing and cheer routines are a huge part of mascot entertainment. Learn a few cool dance moves on your own time or if you\u2019re part of a school or organization, coordinate with your local dance or cheer team. They often will have some routines that your mascot can easily follow along with.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b95573 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b95573\" 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<h3><strong><em>How old do you have to be to be a mascot?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3><p>While anyone can be a mascot, we need to note that the biggest drawback to being a young mascot performer is limited size and strength.

Avoid using shampoos and conditioners on your fur if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, and NEVER put any part of your mascot suit in the dryer. <a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/mascot-services\/mascot-cleaning-and-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Performing regular maintenance<\/a> on your suit is an important aspect of being a mascot that many people don\u2019t consider at first.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a333e1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a333e1f\" 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<h3><strong><em>How comfortable is it to be in a mascot costume?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3><p>It totally depends on the mascot suit itself. As a general rule, the bulkier the mascot, the more uncomfortable it will be. The best way to make yourself as comfortable as possible is to:<\/p><ol><li>Take breaks when needed, and get yourself some cold drinks that are high in electrolytes.<\/li><li>Wear athletic clothing. Mascot suits get extremely warm, no matter what level of activity you\u2019re doing you will sweat. Be prepared to change shirts often and pack yourself a towel and some good deodorant. It\u2019s also a good idea to wear longer forms of athletic wear, as there are suits out there that can rub in certain areas, and friction burns are no fun for anyone.<\/li><li>Consider purchasing a <a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/custom-mascots\/mascot-accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cooling vest<\/a> to keep you cool. Over the years, we\u2019ve found that<a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-mascot-performer-cool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> mascot performers start to sweat<\/a> inside the costume at any temperature above 55<strong>\u00b0<\/strong>F (12.7<strong>\u00b0<\/strong>C). Some mascot costumes come equipped with a fan built into their head, but we\u2019d recommend utilizing a cooling vest instead. A cooling vest disperses the heat around your core, which is a much more effective way to cool the entire body, whereas a fan only targets your head.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0433eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a0433eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\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<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<\/main>\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-afa54d7 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"afa54d7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\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-15f6739\" data-id=\"15f6739\" 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-5fcd6fb elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5fcd6fb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\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-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-07555c8\" data-id=\"07555c8\" 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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a752a6\" data-id=\"6a752a6\" 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-104fe0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"104fe0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff49f66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ff49f66\" 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<p>In summary, we\u2019d like to thank everyone for viewing our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OrN8c3qGpnE&amp;t=3s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to be a Mascot<\/a> video, and engaging with each other in the comments section.
