Going to Camp to Become a Sports Mascot

Mascots help to get crowds excited at every level of sports competitions - from high schools to professional teams. Companies and organizations also use the costumed characters to present a friendly corporate image. June Soh shows what it takes to bring those furry, comic costumes to life and what it is like being inside them, especially in the sizzling summer heat.

Put on a costume, play around, put smiles on people’s faces. The extrovert buried in my introvert persona just loves this idea.

I love this info about how to be a mascot! I love to watch mascots, too! As a professional clown, mascots are very helpful to me because they give me ideas on how to create skits, but more importantly how to gain the crowd and make people laugh! Love you guys!

Philip Anderson I live in American. We have Jollibee, but not with the mascot. We have a lotta characters like the Looney Tunes at Six Flags, The Disney Characters in Florida and Cali, And Chuck E Cheese in 600 locations. My Overall Favorite is Chuck E Cheese, but I've also been 17 Looney Tunes/Hannah Barbara Characters at Six Flags. My Favorites being Bugs Bunny, Wile E Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Sylvester!

[@SaucyChorizo]

ivaldi03 stfu

[@hayaagaming]

is it hot inside

[@PairOfKoopas]

It also depends if you're working in an AC building or outside weather. Case in point, Chuck E Cheese won't heat up as much as the Six Flags cast because Chuck E is in an inside building where the Six Flags characters could be on in extreme heat (which the suit is 20 degrees hotter then the outside temperature. So, it it's 80 degrees that character is burning at 100 outside!) It also depends how hard you dance, or how many bodies are near you in a building because of their body heat. It lastly, depends on if your suit has ventilation holes on the inside to breath or not. A suit with a solid fabric on the inside with a tight fit will heat up faster then one with holes for ventilation. Case in point: Scooby-doo at Six Flags heats up faster then Bugs Bunny due to not have ventilation holes in the body like Bugs.
