Everyone can become a cosplayer regardless of their physical form or background because all of us can play some roles in character costumes that you idolize.
If you are really serious getting into the world of cosplay, especially becoming a professional level cosplayer, at least you must understand and do the following basic things.
1. Careful Planning
This process will indeed take some time and good planning ranges from 3 to 6 months to have a good cosplay appearance. The more difficult the level of complexity of the character you want to play, the more time it will take. Think about it first..
Tips for saving preparation time is using a rented costume, which of course is certainly suitable for you to use. Add some accessories that will enhance your appearance, as well as train before moving on to become professional cosplayer.
2. Choose Wisely
The next step is to determine which character you want to play. Find the role that you know best and understand the characteristic. If you want to stand out more, choose the one that is not chosen by many other cosplayers.
Another advantage when playing a unique character that you like the most is the process of working on it and preparing it will be more fun. Personal satisfaction is a plus when performing on stage.
3. Save Budget
Whether it's using rented costumes or your own production, try to keep your budget under control and within reasonable limits...don't push too hard either!
Usually, the cost required for a cosplay costume set is between 1 million to 10 million rupiah. Usually it will also depend on the type of costume material you are planning. If you have reached the level of professional cosplayer, the variety of costumes you have to prepare is even more diverse.
4. Focus on Details
A good cosplayer must pay attention to the details of each character they play because this shows your seriousness in preparing your appearance.
Suppose you choose a Spider-Man character costume, don't forget to prepare maybe a special device that can also release cobwebs from your hands. This becomes a positive assessment in each of your appearances.
5. Collaborated with Others
Never forget the role of other cosplayers in your every appearance because sometimes the character you want to play needs a companion figure to bring your soul to life even more.
