Mascot Rental

Not sure if you're willing to invest in a mascot costume yet? Why not try renting one?! Many people are hesitant in purchasing a mascot costume because they are unfamiliar with this type of costume. Since mascot costumes are much different than a typical Halloween costume, it may be a good idea to rent one so you can experiment with it and learn how they feel on, how you can use them for your event, etc.

This can also be a good way to determine what type of character would work for your situation if you're not quite sure yet. Perhaps you'll find that an animal you didn't expect to work ended up working great.

Mascots Need To Do Their Research!!

Is this your first time wearing a mascot costume? Then you may want to do some research! Especially if you will be wearing the mascot costume for your school, you’ll want to find out what some of the previous mascots did and if they were successful. If you are unable to find those who wore the mascot costume previously, ask other people. If they attended games or special events, they may remember and be able to tell you how the mascots entertained the crowd.

Watch video of mascots in college and the pros! See what their routine is, how they manage to engage the crowd, and what makes them successful and entertaining. Youtube is a great resource, so use it to your advantage!

If you’ll be wearing the mascot costume for a school or university, chances are, you’ll be working with the school’s cheerleaders and pep band. Talk with both groups to see what kind of routines they are doing and if they’d be interested in doing any routines with the mascot. If nothing else, at least find out what songs the pep band will be playing so you can plan some routines yourself. Choreographed routines are always an added treat for spectators and add to the professionalism of your routine!

Show Emotion INSIDE Your Mascot Costume!

A great tip that can help you show emotion in a mascot costume is to use facial expressions inside the costume even though no one can see your expressions. Practice facial expressions in front of a mirror for various emotions (happy, sad, excited, etc).

Once you figure out what your facial expressions would look like if you were mad, sad, happy, etc, translate that into your mascot head. Chances are, the face of your mascot head will not move, so you must find ways to use your body to show the same emotion.

However, making your facial expressions while wearing the costume will help you 'feel' the emotion you're trying to express. For example, if you're trying to make your mascot character look like they're sad, hang your head and slouch your shoulders. If you want to look fierce, jump onto a block and pound on your chest.

You'll be amazed at the difference it will make if you actually make the facial expressions while wearing the costume. This is just one more way for you to become the character!
