This has to be the only actually INFORMATIVE video on mascotting I’ve seen. Can anyone direct an aspiring mascot to more videos like this?
I am literally only 14 and I already have a mascot job at an aquarium, so thanks for this video. I really need to practice.
Congrats! That's actually impressive consideting your age lol! Do you enjoy it?!?!
@@real_mr_rizz I do enjoy it! Sometimes it's pretty annoying when I get swarmed by kindergartners but, that's just part of the experience! Although currently I will not be able to be a mascot until September 1st. Because Coronavirus.
@Green Boi I am a river otter!
How is the job?
@@Splirg woah cool im 13 going on 14 id love to be a mascot
I’m 15 and I’m the first mascot in years at my school and tomorrow is my first time performing and I’m really nervous so thanks for this
How did it go?
@@divaleaYou say it after 2 years lmao

Same bro
Same 😭😭
I'm a very shy person. For the first time I came across an opportunity to be a Mascot for which I was super nervous.
I watched this video just 30 mins before the event and I did great! All the people around, the organizers and my own team were impressed by my performance. They felt like it was a completely different person who performed.
This video really helped me to perform well.
Thank you so much!❤
Trying out for my school mascot tomorrow! Wish me luck!
Galactic Ginger goodluck
Galactic Ginger good luck

This video helped me so much as a mascot! I play a wolf for my Cub Scouts
AD Machine do you have suit up video
AD Machine Fancy seeing you here, AD Machine!
I get to volunteer as the mascot at my college tomorrow!!! I’m SO excited. Been wanting to do this since I was in middle school. My time HAS come.
Zoe Alexandra good luck!!
Zoe Alexandra which college? I love mascots. Check out BGSU’s
there is a high possibility that i will be the new mascot at my school and this has helped me know how to deal with so much thank you!
I am a professional costume character and mascot trainer. I'm just now getting into the world of training people for our company and your video is incredibly useful and informative! It's fun, simple, but also very effective.
Thank you so much for posting this. You may or may not hear from me in the future for possible business. :)

thank you for making this video! im gonna be in a pink fong costume for my baby cousin's birthday party in a few days and im only 14 years old. this really helped clear things up!!
Sounds awesome! Glad the video was helpful.
My first time as a mascot tomorrow! Thanks for the vid, very helpful
I'm not the mascot at my school but I asked my schools current mascot (I'll refer him as Jax since that's the mascot's name) and I asked Jax if I could mascot for a JV game since he usually goes to the varsity games and main events such as open houses and for the experience since he'll be graduating this upcoming June and I'll be trying out but I'm getting of topic. Ive been Jax's handler twice already but Jax said YES but I'm so excited and I decided to come back to this video to help me out! Wish me luck for my first time!
Good luck mate!
@@Splirg heyo! I'm back with news! I got the position! My first event will be at the freshman orientation in August of the 2019-2020 school year!
@@fizzyd.a.d.2855 I'm a bit late now, but that's awesome! Great job!
this helped me out a lot, and the terrifying children part I can relate to. I am an eagle for my school mascot and every time kids see me, they they're hands down my beak
our schools pep rally is tomorrow and im the mascot and its my first time rip
I'm a fursuiter and wannabe mascot, this was helpful for both, thank you!
Same here I've made my own for the Minnesota Vikings
Same
DESTRUCTOR rude
@DESTRUCTOR bruh
@DESTRUCTOR that is fair, I wish I could be paid for being a mascot but I dont think they have enough money to do that.
thank you for uploading this! I'm going to be the Easter bunny tomorrow for an egg hunt and really wasn't sure how to go about it. thanks for the tips from the trade!
SwimmingBird Hey same here but im like our groups main mascot for easter and with a easter bunny
Got my audition tomorrow wish me luck thanks a lot for the helpful video
Good luck cat man!
Actually
I do the same movements and the same effects
But I watch this video many times a week ..... Thank you very much, my friends, for this most wonderful work
THIS IS AMAZING IM A 10YR BUT IM GONNA BE IN A CLIFFORD COSTUME FOR MY SCHOOLS BOOKFAIR
Man and I thought I was young for mascotting!
everyone was probably older than u and weirded out
this is a wonderful video. I'm a new mascots and I watched this video 10 times. It helped a lot particularly for the emotions
As the mascot for my high school three years now holy cow this was so helpful and so relatable as a fellow mascot although I think the costume is 15-20 yrs old and needs replacing so badly I have had kids yank my gloves off because of tears in the fabric and any door frame I have to be careful because the feet can get stuck in the frame and come off
I’ve been a mascot for a volunteer fire department for almost 5 years and I thought it would be nice to learn how to act like a professional mascot
This video is fantastic!! The charity I work for has started buying a bunch of mascots for free events and I’m finding it hard to get used to being a mascot. This video has definitely given me some much needed pointers, thank you so much!!
I’m trying out for mascot, thank u for the help!
Thank you for this video, well made, and accurate! I used it as a refresher before jumping back into character.
Thanks! This helped me out a lot as a mascot!
Glad to hear this was helpful for you!
I just got hired as my college's mascot and I could not be more excited, but this video definitely released the little bit of nerves I had. thanks!
Thankyou for this. Im doing my first mascot job and needed to be sure I was doing everything I needed to be. Very informative. Thank you!
I'm so glad I found this video.
(This just turned into a rant, sorry XD)
I'm at a small high school, and last year we didn't even have a mascot. I volunteered, but I also haven't receievd any kind of instruction as to how I should act, where to go, what to do, pretty much was just told by the cheer coach to go do whatever I wanted. But, the first football game was a disaster in my book. Exteriorly, it didn't go too bad, but most everything went wrong. I ended up scaring a couple kids. I ran into a terrifying child 😳 (she was literally punching and kicking me, and apparently there were no adults around to even help me out, so at least I nor the girl got hurt during that), and ended up standing around a lot, so that sucked. I don't have a "handler" and seeing as no one really even wants to get involved with mascot stuff, I don't think I'll get one, but I can live with that.
Either way, thank you for posting this video to actually teach me what I should be doing while allowing some space for me to be creative.
I work at a zoo and part of my job is to be one of the mascots so this is super helpful! With covid it’s a little different but this is a great guide!
I have mascot tryout for my middle school tomorrow! I’m not prepared but this video is very helpful! Wish me luck
I had the terrifying child with teens ALOT
I like to thank you VERY VERY MUCH for this video. There was a mascot race last weekend, and I won for BEST ENTERTAINING MASCOT! And to add, it was the second time I ever been a mascot 😊 the other time I watched for video too. The key point that helped me win is to "keep being animated" 😃
Thank you again for the video 😃
From "Bee" lol
Awwwww!!! 😁👏👏❤
*BIG Congratulations!!!*
Gosh your comment made me so happy!
So inspiring and motivating!
You are definitely right about the keep being animated thing....
I'm sure you really ROCKED being "Bee" 😊👏💛
i wanna do this for our highschool! i love mascots
I have an interest in being a mascot but I'm not sure where to start
I've thought of making a costume myself and going out in the park maybe dance to some popular music just for fun
Though that is probably a bad idea
Hakken Boi
Actually not only have I heard of the furry fandom but I would consider myself a furry
And I'm trying to make a "fursuit" myself
In the meantime I'm hunting for a job at Chuck E Cheese
Sounds like fun
Hakken Boi
Thanks
hopefully I'll be able to make that fursuit and make videos with it
Just be a furry or something lol
Bread
I am a furry actually that has yet to have a fursuit
Some day though
Hakken Boi
Oh and about going out in costume I've heard to ring ahead and get permission if you plan to go to something like a shopping center
And it's always good to have an escort to explain what's going on and what you're up to
This was so much help! In my school we have a mascot, and I play it. So much help!
Im going in the suit for thw first time tomorrow and this was very helpful
Thanks for watching!
Wish me luck!! Auditioning tomorrow
Thanks! This is really helpful for me to be the mascot at my school! Because tryouts is coming around the corner and I’m nervous and happy at the same time!
Thx, great put together video
mascots are awesome
Due to certain circumstances, i have to be a mascot for a program today. Thank you for all this tips 💖💖💖
Gonna be a mascot at the big Boston Christmas tree lighting tomorrow. Going over some last minute tips!
I wear the Cardinal suit at our local school student of the month program. Watching this video helped me with interacting with a terrified child . Thanks .
Glad to hear it was helpful, Helen!
Thanks alot ! For the video
The hardest mascot to probably be in is Cosmo the cougar
And Benny the bull
These involve being super athletic especially Cosmo you have to be a good dancer and also very good at flipping and doing backbends and hand springs
Benny the Bull you have to be extremely good at basketball and you have to have some knowledge about flips and other athletic things
If you know how to do any of these things I think it would be a good one
This video inspired me a lot as a mascott performer
13 and just became a mascot for my cities basketball club, the game is in 5 days and I'm pretty nervous, but this video was very helpful. Thank you!
This was so helpful since im the school mascot
I needed to watch this because I was invited today to be the mascot for my homecoming this year and it’s gonna be a big deal for me
And also you should add energy while in character
Really helpfull......👍❤️...nice....do more videos plz🙏🙏🙏
This helped I was not sure if I was doing it wright
This helped a lot thanks
my first football game is tomorrow! hella nervous but also very excited!

My only “mascot” experience was wearing a panda head in 90 degree weather in July. I had an ice pack in the head but it was still pretty hot.
I'm going to try out for a mascot at my school in in High School. Could you guys give me some tips for tryouts?

I would try out but we dont have a mascot suit it's a medfield warrior

I’m 12 and I’m the mascot for my middle school. I start when cheerleading starts which is around September. I’m kinda scared and wondering what stunts I should do at games? Or do I just dance with the cheerleaders.
Congratulations on becoming your teams mascot! First, we recommend connecting with the cheerleading coach to see how you and the cheer team can best work together, and possibly even learn some of their cheers routines. Second, you safety is most important, so only do stunts that you're comfortable with. There are many factors to consider with stunts like visibility, costume fit, and physical ability. We recommend practicing your stunts beforehand with the costume on and make sure to have a partner to help your training. Lastly, and most importantly, have a blast - enthusiasm is what makes a great mascot. Feel free to ask any further questions. Good luck!
@@OlympusGrpthanks! I just had my first Pink Out game and it was amazing! 🤩
Im mascot at my school and i need to practice before school starts😭
Oh yes CZcams recommendations at is finest.

I got my own mascot for World Cup but it not a costume yet
Sooo many furries here!!! 👍
I tried my school mascot costume at my middle school before
3 more days until I start!
im gonna try our hockey mascot he wasn't worn for 5 to 6 years wish me luck
I am 5/2 am I tall enough to be in a mascot costume?

Yep
Nope just a plane old weeb over here.
Bruh 16 and I’m the new mascot for my school because I can break dance and kinda shitting myself lol
I’m watching these videos to get over my fear of mascots. I’m 11 and the reason why I’m afraid is for no reason. I just am.
I just want malfunctioning commoned mascot with Hasbro Gaming Talking Game Board Characters!, just got to be able and the grasping of it was a good thing to Animated-Sacrificed to played all day!...
I was left up to learning it as I went. Now my owners can’t find anyone they like to replace me
Is beinga mascot sweaty
Syifa Aulyadevi YES. The suits can get over 100 degrees Fahrenheit EASILY
@@entitledbobcat did they can pass away???
Syifa Aulyadevi use a small fan
Be careful with the bandana idea I tried that for and event and it slipped over my eyes IN COSTUME so I was blind till I could find my handler to take me back to my break room. Tie it tightly if your going to use that idea.

POV: You're a 16 year old who is the school mascot but the mascot was probably from the 1980's and the gloves are lost oh god its so old
Edit: Our mascot is a wildcat and is not cartoony as these mascot- THEY LOOK SO CLEAN AND FLUFFY THE HECK?
If I fail as a Biotegnologist i know what can i do (For those who want to go to Japan but do not know what to work from, you can consider this)
:) helpful thanks
Imagine having to watch this before you get paid
im not getting paid but i bet it would feel sucky
i'm a furry too
