How to work with Sponsors as a Cosplayer

09/13/21 • 11 min

People will approach you when you have a following. It does happen. I approach people to be on my show, to collaborate on larger projects, and really just to talk to them because it is supposed to be Social media after all.

So – what do you do?

We’ve talked about some of this on the show before – vet vet vet your Sponsors

If you’re not used to making deals – and most of us are not it pays off to be choosy.

As I’ve learned, you do not have to say yes to everyone and everything that comes along. You can pass and it’s ok. Doesn’t make you a bad person and it doesn’t mean that you will not grow as a Cosplayer or Brand if that’s what you’re doing.

Cosplay Skills : Do I need to be an Actor?

Do I want to be an actor – no, not really. There’s a lot of rejection and politics. Do I want to create films, art, drama, and see where Cosplayers can fit into that mix – I sure do. But for fun and as part of a body of work that builds other skills.
Where do Cosplayers fit when it comes to acting. Some Cosplayers are actors. Costume design and playing a part go hand-in-hand. Cosplay is character depiction. Many go to TikTok or Reels and create skits of their favorite fan films – depending on the audio they can find from those scenes.
The acting is fun, and can help improve presentation skills, which I definitely want to do. Camera work is part of putting together photo shoots, and much of the content we share online, so why not have some fun collaborating, acting out some of our favorite scenes, moments, and as some of our favorite characters.

In the world of Cosplay, why not?
