Welcome To Prime Mascots , Becoming a Mascot is Hard work and requires Practice. Mascots play a very important role in building brand recognition, loyalty, and interest. A mascot’s job is a combination of several elements; part athlete, mime, actor, and clown! Mascot performing takes practice and patience to acquire the necessary skills to build great performances that engage adults and children alike. Are you Ready to become the best mascot performer out there? Get the mascot tips you need to know right here From The Best in the Industry !
Section one:Preparation and Costume Malfunction
Preparation: It’s important to be Knowledgeable about the Mascot Costume and What you should wear underneath! In some Cases you may need a handler to help you get in and out of the costume. But getting ready starts even before you put on the first piece of the mascot costume.
No one like to come near a smelly mascot or performer.
What you should wear underneath your mascot:
Balaclavas , long gloves too are great for attention to details.
Getting in and out of the costume will become much easier and quicker with practice.
Costume Malfunction: Here are some tips on what to do if something goes wrong with your mascot costume.
To reduce the chances of mascot malfunctions you should check in the mirror to see how your mascot looks before you perform .Malfunctions will happens!
Here are 10 mascot tips that you can follow to be a great mascot performer
1. Never let anyone in public see you change into or out of your mascot costume.
Exaggerate all of your movements and gestures. From walking and waving, to showing emotions - everything should be grand and larger than life.
3. Embody the emotions you want to portray and Gestures:
When you're wearing a mascot costume, emotions can be difficult to communicate and exaggerated gestures to portray emotions such as happiness, sadness, surprise, shyness
Here are Some Basic Emotions To use while performing
Happy: emotion Happy or Excited
Sad: The Emotion Sadness
Stressed: Putting both hands on the side of the head and shaking it to the sides
Shyness: a Timid emotion while initially looking away to show shyness
You Can Also use the most common gestures like (Welcome) or (Hello)
Waving and gesturing
Blowing Kisses: With this gesture , make sure you’re selling emotions
Blowing Kisses is great gesture if used in appropriate times.
Salute or Bow Gestures is a great way to acknowledge authority figure or Ladies
Practice these emotions while wearing your costume in front of a mirror, and get feedback from your guide/handler.
4 Pace yourself. Mascot performing is very high-energy. Your audience will expect you to keep in character, and your job is to build up the energy, engage, and entertain! make it part of the act.
5. Stay in character during the entire performance.
6.Be the personality of your character.
7. Treat everyone with respect
There are three T’s types of children that you will be Facing while mascotting
And They go This way: Terrific , Terrifying and Terrified Children
Step 3: Step Back and use the Big No gesture
Step 4: Signal to your helper or their parent
Step 5: simply walk away
With Practice you will learn to Read body language and mirror behavior You can laugh, tease and jest with them as long as it’s within the person’s comfort zone.
8. Connect with other mascots. Put yourself out there! Actively search out other mascot performers, reach out on social media, attend meet-ups, or join forums. Other mascots may have valuable performing tips and tricks that will help you tremendously and it is always nice to make new friends!
10.Prop usage can be spontaneous or planned
Here is a prop usage demonstration from the few props we found in the Studio. Always remember to be creative and relate the props to the daily usage or perhaps you could pretend to be a child that is trying to use these props in a funny and pleasant way. Take on that challenge in good spirits and you will be a highly effective mascot. - Zábava
"But remember: terrifying children aren't bad. They may be a little confused when they are trying to win your attention, and your role is to help them learn."
This is so important! Kids are just trying to make connections whatever way they know how. Sadly, a lot of kids are raised in situations where they just don't see any examples of how to healthily give & receive attention from others.
🥰😍
Got my first booking tomorrow & I’m super nervous 😵💫thank you for these tips they were really helpful
Have fun! and remember you can do it and be that character, keep moving consistantly , if you struggle with people then have a go at objects as props , you will do just great!

This Saturday I will be the school mascot for an elementary. I was asked to volunteer and I figure it will be fun. It’ll be the first time I have ever been a school mascot. Not the first time I have ever performed in a masked costume tho, Halloween is fun 😅. I think having your face behind the costume makes it less embarrassing. Not that it’s embarrassing, it’s just that once your in costume, you’re no longer just you, you’re the mascot. That’s all people will know.
Beautifully put my friend and remember it still you inside the mascot and your character what would make the mascot extra special
Wishing you all the best for this Saturday ❤️ you will be just amazing, tag us on IG or send us videos photos and will mention you in the story to congratulate you on your first official appearance 💪 keep it up
What was up with the twerking Minnie mouse 🚩🚩🤔
🤣🤣🤣
I’m a new school mascot and this is very helpful for the things I’m doing but I have to wear football pads so do you have any vids or something to recommend for having football pads on while wearing a bunch of stuff
I think the school added the pads to protect you
@@PrimeMascots it’s to make to costume look better that’s what I have been told
I want my mascot to perform the songs he sings so do I need a mascot with a moving mouth or could I do this with a regular mascot?
If you believe you can do it then try it and get a second opinion 💯
If you can manage to adjust your mascot head and modify it then a moving moth will certainly help XD
Basketball Game in an hour ahhh im scared
How did you do? Would love it if you shared some videos with us x
Can you make a video putting on the costume from 12:39
Soon will be making these videos x
@@PrimeMascots when? BECUASE I know some people who are like suit ups
Also you should do it on a second account
Hi, just to let you know that we started to post how to put on mascot costumes videos. I hope you like them.
Can you please tell me why?
Thanks
You know I wish I could be my school mascot but his teeth are too scary prime mascots do you think I would do a good job
You will do an amazing job , if you had ago you would love it plus when you are inside the mascot you wont be scared :)
I find it really hard to engage with the audience especially because my mascot costume is old and difficult to see out of. Any tips for combatting that?
please message me picture of your mascot on instagram @prime_mascots so I can see what to suggest XD
if this is still a problem try contacting the person whose in charge about it and they should respond and fix it in some way
@@hiimbradyjk6507 I’m almost positive we have a new costume but it seems out school lost it, so *shrug*
@@PrimeMascots Sorry I’m seeing this so late!
I’ll try to take a picture soon and send it to you
@@michigangarnet3804 is sorry thatmust suck
I do want to talk in my mascot, how can I modify? Thanks
It depends on The Character you play and the ability of your voiceover, but I also do recommend checking those voice machines online link them with speaker and mp3 x
@@PrimeMascots thanks
@@PrimeMascots you are doing good
Christmas elf mascot costume

How did that go???
pretty dope👍it was a football game so all i had to do was get everyones hyped up which isnt too hard when you’re actually the mascot haha, i got off easy this time!
@@hunterbel4068 I'm Glad it worked out well for first experience! Please keep XD
Hlo sister iam from India n I want to buy a mascot for permanent pls can u suggest me something 😁😁
I wish you the best of Luck and thank you for getting in touch!
You mean suggest you a mascot name or company?
I would suggest that you start with a knowing mascot locally that everyone likes that should help you build confidence
Check on Internet for mascots makers near you, it should be much cheaper than getting a mascot from the UK I can assure you and you could build a good reputation with less risk on your new journey XD
All the best

How about mermaids?
Good question, unfortunately in 20 years working with mascots, Mermaids Costumes is something I never worked with
